Sumario:In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared Pandemic status due to the spread of the new Coronavirus Sars-Cov-2, which causes the Covid-19 disease. The responses from each state was different, and in the United States, Donald Trump chose to follow the characteristics that elected him, such as denial and the dissemination of Fake News on the internet, impacting the population’s attitudes and taking the country to a high number of deaths from the disease. In this paper we will briefly analyze Trump’s election and his government’s management of the pandemic, making use of Machiavelli’s concepts of virtù and fortune to weave our analyses.
