Commentary
All sources we have so far testify that Trump greenlighted nationwide lockdowns the weekend of March 14–15, 2020, under the influence of Deborah Birx, Anthony Fauci, Jared Kushner, and a few others. Brownstone has documented this weekend in great detail. This disastrous decision culminated in the press conference of March 16, 2020.
