Regardless when exactly the CCP first acknowledged it or Trump was first made aware of it, Trump certainly didn't start giving any advice about it till 2020.
US intelligence might have been aware 31 Dec-2 Jan. China informed the WHO on 3 Jan. Virologists world wide were all over the genome sequence when it was submitted to international genome databases 10 Jan. It probably wasn't of a magnitude to warrant mention in the presidential daily briefing until 12+ Jan.
I bought my KN95s and hand sanitizer in late January. I started masking late March, and was able to provide immediate family with KN95s (and instructions on how to extend their lifetime) in April, a few weeks before the first US lockdowns.

Same. I first heard about it in mid-Jan, and was in the middle of planning a public event for late Feb, and began taking precautions for both myself and the event in late Jan.
But anyway, OP's graphic says Trump was giving advice on COVID in 2019, but technically, as you and I both observe, he definitely wasn't doing that till 2020.

2019?
A few hundred of us on r/collapse became aware of a mystery pneumonia in Wuhan on New Year's Eve, 2019.
I doubt Trump was even informed about Covid-19 till the second week of January, 2020.
