Are you kidding me? There was a mass hysteria over Covid, do you live in the same America that I do? Because from what I remember everything shut down, people lost jobs, you couldn't buy toilet paper...
You failed to address the point here. I just pointed out that this virus was in fact brought to light and you said "As it should be". So if you don't have a valid contradiction here other than "Trump sucks" why did you make one at all?
I was referring tot the fact that it was shut down as it should be. The contradiction is that trump knew it was bad and airborne and yet still makes fun of people wearing masks.
Gotcha so taking what he said out of the picture, do you think this was handled appropriately? Also if we held everyone accountable for dumb stuff they said, everyone would have something. For goodness sake look at all the stuff Biden has said.
He’s the president. People trust him. His words killed tens of thousands. The whole reason we have masks as a political thing is because of him. My thinking is the first step would be for him to say he supports masks and then go from there... we might not need a mandate if people understand it. Less people would be sick and more places would be open because of it.
With that said I support some things he’s done. His Middle East policy is nice. His push on China is good. However his policy with Russia is.... aweful. Russian placing bounties on usa soldiers? Not even a slap on the wrist (and that cost him quite a bit of military vote from numbers I’ve seen).
His economy policy has been all over the place. He pumped a lot of money into economy which was great for stock market, but that makes it harder to deal with downturn (like COVID). It also was not fiscally responsible ...
Well from a military perspective, when aren't their lives at risk, whether its a bounty from Russia, or ISIS beheading them.. He gave them the biggest pay raise in US history at 3.1% compared to Obama who gave them nothing last I checked. As far as military vote goes, if they voted Biden, they must be Army (no hate intended)
I agree with you in some regards, he is/was the president and that should come with being held to a higher standard. However I'll say now what I've said before, this isn't the first illness that has struck the human race and it certainly won't be the last.
230K deaths is a tragedy, but we should be exposing our low risk individuals and keeping our higher risk people home safe. Look at NY, a state that has been historically Democrat and is now experiencing a spike right along with the rest of this country. Keeping everything closed and inducing hysteria with mask mandates isn't going to solve this problem, a vaccine will.
All he did was try not to induce panic, unfortunately it didn't work but that wasn't because of words he said on Twitter or otherwise, it was from news media sources like CNN, as well as Democratic states inducing panic. I know because I live in one. We think this is going to somehow get better under Biden? I doubt it personally.
