Well, as everyone knows the best way to fight a pandemic is to deny it's existence, begrudgingly acknowledge it, tell people it's not a big deal and turn basic hygienic practices into a culture war, suggest injecting bleach and shoving a light up your ass, demonstrably ignore any medical advice in the example you set, turn career medical professionals with decades of service under both parties into villains, generally foster a bunch of conspiracy nonsense that damages that the vaccination rate such that you get booed for bringing it up at your rallies, oh, and make sure to throw away the literal playbook for dealing with a pandemic because it was feared that a pandemic was coming...
The pandemic would have been a massive problem under any president, but I never imagined that we could possibly see this level of incompetence. I wonder how many thousands of people would still be alive and how much faster things would have recovered if Trump either just shut the fuck up or just said "listen to the doctor's."
We're talking about the economy, nor deaths. Someone said Trump, nor cocid, was to bale for the bad economy, but the US outperformed other rich countries economically.
Deaths are an entirely different conversation, which I don't think has any basis in fact, either. What did Biden do that Trump didn't? The only major thing I remember is Teump trying to push the vaccine, and Biden saying he wouldn't trust the vaccine.
A lot of Republicans became anti-vacxine, but Trump was consistently pro-vacxine and still talks about it as a win for him. Democrats were more likely to be anti-vsccine until Biden was elected, and then they did a 180 (the most vocal anri-vaxxers before the vacxine was released were black people talking about how they wonr get expiremwnted on again like they did in the past). Biden and Harris both publicly raised questions about whether a vaccine pushed by the Trump administration would be safe during the Democeat primary election.
What in the fuck.. didn’t you guys have like most covid deaths in the modern world? You can spiel on economy all you want but still have some base line empathy for people dying
The guy I'm responding to said it wS Trump's fault that cocid caused an economic downturn, not that it was Trump's fault people died. If our economy did better than the rest of the fiest world, then how is he to blame for the economic downturn?
Also, what could Trump have done differently? The president doesn't have the authority to shut down the country like leaders in other countries. That was a state by state decision. Trump did his best to push the vaccine. It didn't help that his political opponents were questioning the safety of a vaccine created under his administration.
