Nate also said that he thinks the single thing Trump could do to most help his election chances is to tell people to wear masks (which I agree with, not because it would directly make them vote for him, but because it's the way he could singlehandedly most help to combat the coronavirus, which would in turn help his odds).

I actually disagree. I think Trump's best chance is probably to go for herd immunity by September. Then he can declare victory over the virus and say that we are going to lead the world economically for years because we can run at 100% while other countries will still need to have social distancing. But for that to happen, a lot more people need to get sick now. People are very quick to forget the past as long as the present is good.

This could also result in him being extremely unpopular for not caring about life. Not sure which way the wind will blow on that, but I can see the scenario where people don't blame him for the deaths and decide that sooner or later, all the countries will suffer the same level of death (plus a lot of pain from economic collapse).
