I don't blame Trump for much before early Feb. However, WP and NYT both reported it was likely to be a pandemic in early Feb. It wasn't until mid-March in his "I can't read speech" to the nation that he started taking it seriously albeit reluctantly.
So there was a period from early Feb to mid-March where I think he could have organized to "fight the war" better. I do believe Hillary/Biden would have done a better job during this period.
So yeah, I think the death toll would have been lower. Some would want us to believe it would have 50-80% less, I'm more in the 20% camp.

Even regardless of the (very relevant) issue of timing, the President's initial response was to have his son-in-law practically interfere with states efforts to get medical equipment, for a significant amount of time.
