    It's on him
    Countries that had fast and effective responses by their governments are much more centralized and have mechanisms in place to allow their top officials to intervene. The United States purposely lacks many of those mechanisms. If Trump had taken on more authority than he is actually allowed/permitted/provided, Democrats would have screamed bloody murder about the abuse of power. Because he didn't, some seem to be blaming him for basically how each state responded.

This is the fault of those who refused to sacrifice for the good of the country. Look in the mirror when you spout you silliness and whine about whose fault it is.
    So, if schools open in the fall everyone is going to die..

    Everyone is going to die, unless its November and Biden wins the election. Then everything will magically be ok.

    I wouldn't have screamed bloody murder (though I'm an indy and not a Democrat).

    Nearly the medical experts told us that's the way it should have been handled.

    Sticking with my original assessment. Trump F'd the entire thing up from the get-go.

    You're changing the subject again.

    3 million people traveled to NYC from Europe AFTER the China travel ban and prior to your Orange Anus shutting down travel from Europe.

    If your ilk wouldn't have cut medical funding in 2019 and 2018. Medical tech wouldn't have been a problem.


    So that Bull$#@! narrative you got going is nothing more than dishonesty coming from the left. Oh and the ventilator issue by your kind in NY was proven to be a lie.


    Its on your kind for causing people to get infected then for causing the deaths of Grandma and Grandpa sending them to nursing homes with Wuhu raging thru them.


    That's the reality you and your ilk can't escape.
