Please just stop.  You're reminding me of our idiot governor Jay Inslee (the guy who ran for President on climate change and got .00001% support) who is blaming the west coast wildfires on climate change while like 5 guys have been arrested for arson.
Now the riots are Trump's fault too? You people are hilarious.

So what you consider to be presidential is the president going into a fetal position in a time of crisis? He willfully ignored the pandemic while knowing the danger.
Imagine if Obama left the recession recovery to the states. "Sorry, this isn't my problem. No, we won't help you. Hey, I had nothing to do with this crisis."
You love to put words in people's mouths. I'm not saying the riots are Trump's fault. Nor are they Biden's fault. You want to make a case against Jay Inslee? Go right ahead. You want to make a case against mayors of Democratic cities? Go right ahead. Pinning riots on Biden is laughable.
I'm not rooting for the virus. I wear my mask and social distance and all of that. My wife opted to homeschool the kids this year because the public school situation here. If I was "rooting for the virus" I'd be telling people do NOT wear masks and go out to packed bars and have pool parties etc. That's the best part. 50% of the country that listens to science were wearing masks and social distancing to cut down on the spread of the virus. Whereas, those that believe masks are a political statement, refuse to wear them, and did not alter their lifestyle to minimize the spread are why we still have 23% of the world's deaths and cases while only having 4% of the world's population.
Many of us did our part. Many of us heeded the CDC's recommendation to wear masks on April 3rd. Many of us did that beforehand. It took Trump
110 days to come around on this. It wasn't until late July when I began to see near 100% compliance with masks in my area. And don't be surprised when you find that within 10 days of Trump's mask recommendation, we finally saw the peak level off and drop.
Trump speaks. People listen. If Trump had made this recommendation in April when the CDC told us to wear masks, imagine the lives he would have saved:
April 3rd - CDC recommends masks to mitigate the spread. The US has 288,000 cases with 8,960 deaths. Trump says he won't wear one. Later he claims it is a political statement against him.
July 21st - Trump finally recommends masks. Cases are 4,031,000 with 145,000 deaths.
August 1st - 7-day rolling average of cases beings to drop
August 3rd - 7-day rolling average of deaths passes its peak
Half of us were doing the right thing. We didn't need Trump to tell us. There is direct cause and effect of Trump saying "wear a mask" and then cases drop.
Now, it only took him 3.8 million more cases and 136,000 deaths to get there. Those are on his head. Period. I've lost family and friends to coronavirus. Don't begin to tell me I'm rooting for it.
