COVID FACT -- More Americans died from COVID-19 during the first nine months of the year than during the first nine months of the pandemic under Donald Trump’s presidency, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Despite widely available vaccines and Mr. Biden’s pledge to handle the coronavirus better than his predecessor after taking office Jan. 20, Johns Hopkins’ Coronavirus Research Center reported that, as of Wednesday afternoon, 353,000 Americans had died this year. That surpassed the 352,000 who died from March 2020, when the pandemic started, to December, when the Food and Drug Administration first gave emergency authorization for vaccines. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/20 … n-trump-j/
He promised to rid us of COVID... He has not done anything to get the virus under control. but talk about it. Has he taken any steps to stop the spread? No... Has he done anything but put forth some mandates, that clearly are not needed? No. Has he taken any bold steps, as Trump clearly did? No
All of the people in Trump's Secret Service have good natural immunity to COVID. As does Trump. I look at this fact as a positive.
All your stats can be attributed to due to COVID. Trump had a very good economy actually up until a month or so before he left office., even with a once-in-a-lifetime world pandemic. Biden has clearly ruined the economy. This inflation is all of his own doing, and I expect it to get much much worse. So many economists are stating this inflation is going to get worse. Not sure how you can stay on board with this man? May be time to toss in your chips.
"We literally assassinated another country's top general and had our troops attacked as a consequence. That's definitely conflict."
Trump in no respect looked at Iran as a nation that supported terrorism and had no intention of ever dealing with them. General Soleimani was a terrorist.
