True enough. I'll just blame him for supposedly being in charge of the response yet being part of the problem, like his attitude towards masks (making fun of them, not wearing one to set the right example, not endorsing them until way late in the game), and still holding indoor rallies (are you ****ing kidding me?????)

Trump? Or Governors and Mayors like Cuomo and Di Blasio? NYC is a train wreck and their response was horrendous.

The CDC totally tanked it as well.

Then you have Americans who flat out refused to follow common sense precautions and still do.

Trump is an idiot but I can't tag him for this one. He had a ton of help.

1. I never take medical advice from any politician, especially if they don't have a medical background. Anyone who does absolutely deserves what follows.

2. NYC and a few major cities are why the USA numbers are so bad. Very few if any of those cities are Trump supporting cities. His example would be solidly ignored no matter what.

3. Americans in general own what happened because they fought lock downs, social distancing, and any practical measures to prevent the spread.

4. The CDC absolutely failed us. 10 billion a year and we got amateur hour from them.

5. Trump owns not locking down unnecessary travel between states and cities. Because of that di Blasio's crap response spilled over onto neighboring states.

Estimated 600,000 Americans Die From Cancer Every Year, Is That Also Trump's Fault?



Well, IF Trump was treated in the same way the RW treated Obama it would be Trump's fault as the RW claimed virtually everything that happened while Obama was in office was his fault.


But Trump will be treated more honestly and only held responsible for things that are his fault like his ineffective, inept response to what he was told about the coming virus and his complete lack of leadership in dealing with it.

Please tell me what he should have done differently? Come on big hero tell us!

1. Trump believes in FREEDOM! Not like the POS democrats
2. Trump wanted each state to have their own power to tackle the problem, because each state isn't NYC.
3. Each state did a pretty good job so long as they have republican leadership. If it was run by democrats, the states did poorly.

NEXT!

Asking for a friend...
Heart disease is the leading cause of death, yet every fast food drive thru I pass is full of fat Americans wrapped around the building.

Mask wearing remains one of the least of our issues.

The death numbers reflect how unhealthy our citizenry is.

Me neither, but do you think Trump's base is as discerning or many just followed his lead? I have a strong feeling that MAGA masks would have done a lot to nip this in the bud.
