No blame on China still for releasing it, huh?

Not when it comes to the part where the US was overwhelmed by COVID and became the epicenter of the pandemic, no.

You don't blame China for releasing it in the first place, you jump straight to America so you can hate on trump.. Democrats didn't do better regarding the pandemic, remember Pelosi on TV telling people how racist trump is and to come down to chinatown? Overwhelmed and Epicenter of pandemic is up to debate.

Trump's "China Travel Ban" was, of course, completely racist, because it only banned Chinese nationals. During the first three months of the pandemic, more than a million people traveled from and through the Wuhan province into, and then across, the United States, bringing the virus with them, and spreading it around the country as the Trump administration did absolutely nothing of use to track or quarantine them.

Neither is up for debate - we had nearly five times the number of infections and more than twice as many deaths from COVID than India, who also has more than four times our population.

Long and short of it is, we can't control what happens in China, but we're supposed to be able to control what happens here, and Trump was a complete f**king moron who couldn't.

Trumps, travel ban did not ban chinese nationals only, that is complete and utter bullshit, it restricted travel from high infection areas. Both are up for debate, number were inflated, covid deaths were massively inflated. After you put out the fire you should hold the arsonist accountable, China released it, China paid nothing to us, was held to no accountbility even though it came from their labs, and also , not a single politican born could have done any better, it was a freak occurance.

It absolutely did only ban Chinese nationals, and more than a million people traveled through and from Wuhan into the United States -after- that ban took effect.

That is because people suck in general. No matter how many warnings or bans or restrictions, people will find a way to travels where ever they want when they want. You can't put all the blame on trump's shoulders, people caused the shit to spread, You probably don't remember the summer of 2021 when Covid was hitting hard, here on the city blocks in Chicago there was a series of block parties. Thousands of people congregated.

No - it's because his travel ban only applied to Chinese nationals, and Americans overseas were spooked into rushing home when he started tweeting about implementing it.

His ineptitude and bungling as president was the primary cause of our becoming the pandemic's epicenter - from denouncing it as a hoax to politicizing masks, vaccines, and (strangely) anti-parasitic treatments for livestock.

What's worse is, while we all clearly want to forget 2020, somehow the GOP actually -HAS- forgotten 2020.

That is why I said "Prior to covid". Covid restrictions is what caused the empty shelves, stopping industry from being able to transport goods by truck or ship. Covid was a freak occurrence, people want to blame Trump for everything but no one would have done any better. Any debate about that would simply be conjectural.

No, the TP Crisis of 2020began early on while commerce was normal, and then people panicking and hoarding everything else as well is what caused the shelves to be empty.

Covid caused the toilet paper panic attack. If everyone buys one things of course there will be a shortage of it. God knows why people bought up all the toilet paper for a respiratory virus..
