That's because he's not a master manipulator: he is aggressive and lucky.

His actions were aggressive: just not against covid. He sought to shift blame onto local governments and claim glory for himself.

This is an example of what a "career politician" would've easily used to their advantage, and handled well.

I’m not so sure about that. There aren’t a hell of a lot of politicians who have handled it well in my view. There are a few and they are lauded for their efforts, but it’s not common. Have you any examples?

I would say Andrew Cuomo has handled it decently as a public health crisis, and handled it very well as a means to improve his reputation.
