I mean yeah, Trump can’t be blamed for COVID, but his response to it is another matter entirely.
Over 1 million dead. That’s a pretty damn big chunk of the population to lose in the space of two years.
Now I’m not saying he’s alone in the blame, there are state level republicans responsible too, but boy did he try to hamstring those who were trying to do the right thing.
If I looked purely at his actions, I’d say that he wanted COVID to be some great filter or something to wash through the masses and take out lots of people.
I mean, in South Africa we have a famously corrupt and incompetent government. And even we significantly outperformed the US in deaths per 100k people.

It does help to have publicly funded healthcare.
That’s just embarrassing. I wish Conservatives felt shame.
It isn’t just about his reactive actions to the pandemic.
His proactive efforts to hasten the pandemic is more damning.
