...Trump clearly has no religious beliefs of his own (except self-worship), so I'm sure he privately thinks the "end times" are a load of hogwash. He's "meh" about COVID because he only cares about his own re-election, and those around him, who are deeply invested in the economy über alles, have convinced him that the only way he can win is by forcing the country to re-open, and look on the inevitable death toll of the "little people" as merely collateral damage, as long as they themselves are protected from getting it.
