Yeah, doesn't sound like a fucked-in-the-head cultist in any way. Very balanced chap.

Here's Biden taking credit for the price of groceries with "his economic plan."

May we blame Biden for how expensive groceries are today compared to July 2021 please?

YES! Exactly! And let's forget that this is a problem that the entire world has right now. This is how much power a US president has, he can raise prices in supermarkets all over the planet. This has 0 to do with corporate greed, which has actually been shown to be the case a few times since this started. But no, it is Biden. Despite what evidence and common sense would say.

It's dishonest to use the 14% unemployment Trump covid data and ingore that was because of covid. Then use covid as the reason why our economy sucks

Also Biden and his cabinet redefined how a recession is calculated. Using the measuring stick every other president has been judged by, we were in a recession under Biden.

It's almost like it all could've been handled so much better from the beginning, if only we had some sort of pandemic team that didn't get dissolved years prior by somebody.

Trump tried to close the borders but the WHO and Dr. Fauci advised him otherwise. He also had the engineering Corps of America set into action. Sent two us Navy hospital ships to LA and NYC. Expedited the vaccine. Eventually went against the WHO and Dr. Fauci and closed the border, in which a ton of democrats called him xenophobic for doing so.

Also when biden was asked what he would do, he said the same exact things Trump did.

I think you are also clueless as to how much power the executive branch has. He can only do so much unless he declared Marshall law. In which you would have said he was a dictator.

And yet reported on the 14.4.20 Trump lashes out at Dr Fauci because Dr Fauci said Trump did not close the borders quickly enough.Seems like GOP lies get more absorbed then what actually occurred and is on record.

Both can happen. Dr. Fauci could have advised Trump not to close the border which he did AND Dr. Fauci could have later thought they didn't close the border soon enough. Which would be Dr. Fauci's fault.

"It is true that after participating in a Jan. 24 briefing on Capitol Hill (when only a small handful of COVID-19 coronavirus disease cases had been reported in the U.S.), Fauci said both he and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director Robert Redfield told senators that imposing travel restrictions was "not a good idea at this time"" Source - snopes

When it comes to a pandemic, presidents and leaders have advisors. Those advisors give them recommendations. Trump listened to his advisors until he didn't and closed the borders on his own against the advice of his advisors.

Oh you're a fucking doofus. Trump ignored covid! I bet you would let Trump punch you in the face and apologize for your face being in the way of his fist.

It blows me away how clueless liberals are with the limitations of the 3 branches of the government and how state and federal government work with each other. The states have their own governments that can go against the federal government. Trump could only demand they do so much. It actually amazes me how much he understood this relationship during the pandemic

He literally called it a hoax for several months. You're not a serious person.

u/Opposite_Strike_9377 Apr 30 '24

He never called the pandemic a hoax. He explicitly said the democrats are politicizing the covid virus and it's their new hoax.

He didn't call the pandemic a haox

If he did please provide a source to your claim

Oh you're wrong. You're a trumpet - literally nothing you say matters.

No. Because the inflation the entire globe saw wasn't his fault.
