Please be honest. Had the "administration" reacted then as now, you and countless others would grouse about how it wasn't necessary to throttle the life out of the economy for such a trifling threat. Spare us your hindsight-informed tripe. People don't want to be led, until they want to be led - that's a concept that obviously escapes you and not Trump.
