That way you will have a less intense ‘peak’ that puts a burden on the medical infrastructure.

It is not so stupid as you might think, it is the way to go according to experts. You will not stop the virus, most people will get sick, but spreading it over a longer time helps in relieving the pressure on your hospitals and clinics somewhat.
You are right, absolutely. But to blame it on Europeans is poor taste and purely political. He even uses this “foreign” virus as an argument to build the wall.
