Trump instituted a travel ban from China back when all this impeachment nonsense was going on. Liberals called him racist for it
also most of what you say has been proven to be fake news
Dude, not only did Trump and the people at Fox say all that, the Republicans on CD Forums have been parroting all that and many of them continue to say it!
Just for starters look through the: "The Coronavirus thread parts I & II" and the "Everything Trump and Coronavirus" threads. I know you're fully aware of the first two listed because you've posted plenty of times in them. How could you possible miss all such posts?
No, I haven't seen a single post "squarely blaming the corona virus and its economic impact on Trump." As I have said, I've seen plenty criticizing him for his approach, which made a bad situation worse or failing to mitigate the fallout, but no I have not seen "many posts" "squarely blaming the corona virus and its economic impact on Trump."
If they are so ubiquitous, surely you can find some to present to us.
This type of hypothetical exercise is pretty useless. I think we should compare the economic hit China takes versus the US at the end of this crisis in terms of percentage of their respective GDP. At least then we can compare the merits of the decisions made by the leaders.
People are not blaming Trump for the virus, they are blaming him for his lack of response, and denial of it up to less than a week ago.
If Obama or Biden were POTUS, we'd be two-three weeks ahead of where we are now.
Imagine if Trump saying what he saying right now (as I type this) two weeks ago, instead of calling it a media hoax, instead of telling people to go to work, and instead of telling people it will be cured by a miracle. Imagine if if the whole nation began to "flatten the curve" two weeks earlier. If that had happened, we'd still have issues, but maybe we would not have to be viewed as "followers". Maybe Korea would be trying to catch up to the USA, instead of the USA catching up to Korea.
Trump didn't cause COVID-19, but this is yet another (probably the most pronounced yet) example of how he has DIRECTLY been responsible for America's fall as a world leader.
Back when this virus was first started making world news, first thing President Trump did was issue flight cancellation requests for flights into America from China. I remember this clearly because I was on my drive home from work listening to the local demolib radio "news" station. They ran audio of President Trump stating this, and next they ran a few comments by the top local demolib leadership blowhards berating President Trump for even suggesting doing that. They compared it to the wall being built at the southern border.

Sadly, he kept denying the seriousness of the virus for subsequent weeks. He's finally convinced it's a real thing now.
Do you mean like when Obama ignored the Gulf Oil Spill for two weeks? That kind of "prompt" action? Or when the embassy in Libya was being attacked?
So tell me ONE instance in which Obama acted promptly to any threat- just one.
