His erratic management led to conflicts with several governors, among them some republicans. However, the population’s perception of Trump’s management of the health crisis has been determined by their mentality prior to the pandemic: 
Similarities end here, though. Portugal has experienced the coronavirus crisis very differently; it went into lockdown comparatively earlier.
