    Can you tell me how Trump's words impacted the severity of the pandemic?

    Also, can you site any conclusive evidence that Hillary Clinton would have been more successful at fighting the pandemic?

    Thanks. However, I don't cherish Trump.

    He downplayed the threat of the virus at EVERY turn, even whilst having told Bob Woodward that it was a serious threat clear back in February. It's on record, as well (a.k.a. President Fuck-Face can't claim that it's "FAKE NEWS," as he seems to do with any information that contradicts his daily propaganda).

    Nice "whataboutism," but it has no place within this thread. In case you weren't aware, Hillary Clinton isn't the President.

    A leader impacts in either a POSITIVE or NEGATIVE way. It's THAT simple.

    If you get hit by a drunk driver, they are responsible for your injuries and the damage to your car. That doesn't mean they become your doctor and also fic your car.

    right. So we should believe this post and not your prior actions? You sure spend a fair amount of time defending him.

    Sure. As the President there's a large portion of the country that believes anything he says. So when he consistently downplayed the virus (despite knowing the dangers back in Feb), politicized wearing a mask (at one point even suggested they may make it worse), criticized health experts who were contradicting him, went against CDC guidelines (said about wearing a mask, "I just don't want to wear one myself"), mocked people who wore masks, stated that the virus will simply "go away", insinuated that it was another democratic hoax, told people to not let it take over their lives because he got better and "you get over it", suggested injecting disinfectant into coronavirus patients as a potential cure, told Fox News in July "It is was it is", before going to play golf... it goes on and on.

    Well any reasonable person would not have done any of the above which in and of itself should be enough. They would have simply listened to science and the medical experts. Any intelligent president would have had a nation-wide testing plan and contract tracing system like other countries. Wouldn't have held event after event, from the Whitehouse to his rallies, in which people weren't following the most basic of preventative measures. Wouldn't have visited a factory in Main which manufactured sterile cotton swabs for covid-19 and then refuse to wear a mask thus forcing them to toss out an entire days worth of swabs. A reasonable person wouldn't have abolished the Whitehouse pandemic response team in 2018. A reasonable person wouldn't have feuded with Governors pleading for help, sometimes even refusing to return their calls and saying, "I want them to be appreciative. If they don't treat you right, I don't call." A reasonable person wouldn't suggest that there's a shortage of respirators because nurses are stealing them. A reasonable person wouldn't have pressured states to open too soon despite none of them meeting the federal criteria for opening up. Wouldn't have tweeted "Liberate Michigan". Basically a reasonable person would have shown just a little interest in trying to get the virus under control instead of only pointing to a vaccine "coming soon" since March and claiming to be responsible for said vaccine despite having nothing to do with it. A reasonable person wouldn't have played golf 30 times since the pandemic started either. I'm not sure how many examples you require so I'll stop there.

    I do spend a fair amount of time defending him. That's because much of the criticism is unwarranted. I am not a Trump fan though.
