I live in a blue area and there are plenty of maskless people around.
If Trump wore a mask all the time when he was out, it wouldn't have made a bit of difference. There will still be the anti-mask crowd. Do you seriously think that the liberals who are part of the anti-mask would wear a mask just because Trump wore one? If anything, they will do the opposite.
Trump is free to question things especially when the "experts" were changing their advice quite often. Again, you ignore the fact that this is a "novel" virus and that every country in the world is struggling when it comes to handling it.
Trump didn't undermine anybody. And Biden isn't perfect. He's been caught going without a mask and not keeping social distance. And you seriously think that Biden would do better? I don't know where you live but testing for COVID has become more accessible in my state. Once again, you need to realize that much of what happens or doesn't happen is up to each state.
Trump did more than just not wear a mask. He used his public platform to cast doubt on the effectiveness of masks long after all of the actual medical experts had begun recommending them. He regularly made bad and dangerous comparisons to the flu and lent his support to groups opposing state shutdowns.
Of course Trump is "free" to question things, but that doesn't mean he is free from criticism if he uses his very public platform to undermine the public's trust in medical officials and the advice they are giving.
And yes, Trump has undermined medical professionals. What do you call it when he says that masks aren't that effective or this isn't any worse than the flu? Or that we have "rounded the corner" on this, despite new records being set?
Back in March I said Trump will lose it won't really matter how he handled the virus, or what the economy was before the pandemic. Trumps base will vote for him anyway but those are the same people Trump took advice from how to lead. Trump embraced conspiracy, rejected medical science, and blamed others does that not sound like lot of his supporters?
Voters can choose to ignore the facts and vote for Trump anyway, but we know from polling that voters put Covid at the top of their list of concerns. We will find out in 8 days.
I think at this point, Trump doesn't really care if he wins or loses.
If he wins, he'll go "through the motions" for another 4 years, with the media constantly hating on him, if he loses, he goes back to his company and being a private citizen and moves on with his life.
Do you charge money for your psychic readings of other's minds?
Yes, sure. "You will survive" Ha. Did you tell that to the 235,000 who died?
A president is not God. No president could have prevented Covid in this country. People in places where strict masking and social distancing has been going on for a long time are now spiking, like where I live. This virus is easily spread.
The death rate has gone down dramatically and still is going down.
Nothing can be done about those who died. Of course it's tragic but it certainly isn't Trump's fault. In fact, Cuomo killed a lot of people by sending sick people to nursing homes, while he had an entire Naval ship out there ready to help. How stupid was that! Governors and mayors own those 235k deaths, not Trump.
Joe may lose in part due to his supporters who wished Trump ill when he had it. Class, really first class.
Then claiming they are not haters.....
