    I didn’t know starting a global pandemic was one of the presidential powers but noted.

      On a scale of 1-10 (1 being awful, 10 being excellent), how well do you think trump & his administration handled the COVID-19 pandemic?

        A 3? He did give everyone some trump bucks. Honestly if he had given more to the people and promised more to the little guys instead of his rich pals, he might have won a second term on that alone. It wouldve been terrible, but people are fickle and stupid.

          I think he lost all points when he started actively trying to make the pandemic worse

            Thats very subjective, it wasnt just him, because im pretty sure biden has done worse with covid, trump barely dealt with it, but now biden has essentially made a it known that covid is over. No more mask, in fact lets ban them. Free covid tests? Nah 70 dollars now. Social distancing, no fuck you go back in the office.

            These issues biden is facing while dealing with covid is the same issue trump had to deal with, corporate ass holes who want all the profits. People shit on trump because hes terrible, but to some degree his derangedness might have been a positive. Think of the alternative.

            Hillary Rodam Clinton is one of the most paid off politician there ever was. The whole Clinton family is a disgrace to America. She and everyone else claims they wouldve done better, but i doubt Hilary actually would of. She comes off as the type that would’ve prolonged it even more if she ever did a shut down at all.

          If he didn’t kill the pandemic response group, and just sat back letting Fauci do his literal job…that giant orange turd could have done nothing but continued golfing and coasted into reelection.

          But because he’s a giant narcissistic megalomaniac whose paper-thin self-esteem was critically fractured when Obama hurt his fee-fees…he undid tons of Obama stuff out of spite and thought he and his people knew better than anyone else and highly politicized it.
