Trump didn't stop me from going to the store so I went! Nothing could have prevented this!

Liberal state: trump is a dictator. I'm not listening to a dictator!

Also liberal state: trump didn't tell me what to do forcefully enough! All deaths here are trump's fault!

They also fail to establish a baseline to compare how well the US COVID response is.

So you're saying that the president of the United States is not responsible in some way for the handling the virus, despite the fact that he's the most powerful person in the world and can implement policies that can reduce the spread of coronavirus and his rhetoric can heavily influence the general population's behavior?

Please, for just five seconds, can you not be a hopeless bootlicker for Trump and examine him with the the most basic level of scrutiny? Because I KNOW FOR A FACT that if Obama was president, every mishap committed by his administration during the coronavirus pandemic would be magnified, scrutinized, and criticized by conservatives to no end.

Please could you explain how Obama or Biden handled it differently? All I know, they would not have stopped flights from China in time, so the situation would actually be much worse.

1. Inform the public accurately the dangers of coronavirus instead of playing it down for months

2. Encourage early state lockdowns and implement a national mask mandate

3. Not cut CDC funding and WHO funding

4. Not do massive mask less rallies which led to 30,000 more cases and 700 deaths

5. Not deflect blame to China nor divide the country through partisan lines

6. Not trying to cut millions from health insurance in the middle of a f**king pandemic

Most of this was thought up off the top of my head. I could probably list WAY more if I really wanted to here.

And as for the travel ban?

1. Biden absolutely implemented the travel ban. It was recommended by most public health officials

2. 45 countries already did a travel ban.

3. It wasn't even really a "ban" and it was very ineffective because it had a trillion loopholes

4. Trump did the travel ban and then proceeded to do nothing for a month. That's not progress. That's not leadership. At the very most, it was a band aid that quickly fell apart.

1. WHO and CDC couldn't make up their minds yet, so what would O & B do any differently if they followed the "scientists"?

2. Sweden didn't do neither and the are much better off for it. Don't you remember that we were told by "Scientists" that masks are useless if not counterproductive.

3. CDC funds were not cut and WHO proved to be CCP front.

4. How about protests and riots? The death rate of 2.3% is amazing!

5. MADE IN CHINA. When it comes to dividing the nation, that is libtards speciality.

6. Nothin was cut.

All in all, you have very short memory, as to what actually went on during the pandemic

1. ?

2. Sweden is doing horribly right now and its response was bad. Even if their response was good, you're cherry picking one country that didn't wear masks (and pretending that its "success" was caused by lack of mask wearing, thereby committing a correlation causation fallacy) in contravention with the unequivocal scientific consensus on masks, which is that they work.

3. Let me fix what I said. He *tried* to cut the CDC. Still bad. Cutting the funding of the WHO during a global pandemic under any other president would be out of question ludicrous. But since it's Trump, you'll defend it. There are ways to criticize the WHO without cutting its funding, which tangibly cost lives and hurts the virus response of many countries.

4. Studies have shown that protests have not raised covid numbers in any meaningful sense, due to them all being outside with high rates of mask wearing and other safety measures (besides social distancing). The same cannot be said for Trump rallies, which have extremely low rates of mask wearing and adherence to other safety measures, and some of them are held inside.

5. *ORIGINATED* in China. The fact that it originated in China does not excuse Trump's objectively atrocious response to the coronavirus domestically. Additionally, in order to prove China even had any fault whatsoever in America's abject failure of a response, you would have to prove that China deliberately spread the coronavirus to the US. Until you can, I kindly ask you to f**k off with this claim.

6. He's still trying to, it doesn't make it any better.

The only one with a short memory is you.
