Now, no one has ever said Trump did nothing
AATW says that Trump handled it wrongly and it was a disaster.
It continues to be a disaster. The wealthiest, most advanced nation in the world has some of the worst case fatalities in the world. This is a fact despite the lies he tried to tell Chris Wallace on Fox News.
It's also worth noting that there is a strong argument to make that lives were saved despite Trump. If everybody listened to his idiotic prattling about the uselessness of masks and how everyone should just get on with their lives, then the situation would be markedly worse.
I don't see how 2M saved and 200K dead is a disaster. This is a triumphant victory for Trump that so many lives were saved.
Trump made things WORSE by refusing to wear masks, by telling people it was a hoax, by encouraging people to ignore the health professionals.
You can't say he 'saved' two million lives just because he ONLY managed to cause an extra hundred thousand deaths.
If he had done nothing at all we would be better off, instead he actively hurt the efforts of the rest of us.
There is a reason that graph above is so red. Trump followers who ignorantly refused to abide by the guidelines spread the disease more than those of us who ignored his desperate please for it to all go away.
