Let's dispel with this fiction Trump responded strongly to COVID because it originated in China. Trump had a phenomenally weak response to COVID and complemented China's government in its transparency and cooperation in addressing the outbreak until doing so was no longer politically viable.
If it had started in the US, he'd have probably had a similar weak response unless it started somewhere like San Francisco, in which case I think you can look to Reagan's response to AIDS as something of a precedent for how Trump would have initially responded.
