Just a friendly reminder

[big]Instead, Trump botched our Covid response so badly it resulted in about 275,000 excess deaths in a single year![/big]

That's right. Trump botched our Covid response so badly we suffered THREE VIETNAM WARS worth of excess deaths in a single year!!!

All through Trump's term, our Covid per capita death rate was DOUBLE that of countries like Canada & Germany, resulting in about 550,000 Covid deaths under Trump.

If Trump had handled Covid as well as, say, Justin Trudeau, we'd have had 275,000 FEWER DEATHS! Put another way, Trump's mis-management of Covid cost more deaths than THREE Viet Nam wars!! Three Viet Nams in a SINGLE YEAR, not spread out over ten years like the actual war!!!

Sure, Covid came from outside. And different leaders in different countries managed it differently. Trump's piss-poor Covid management is made clear by the relative per capita death rates.

[quote]"I look at it this way," Birx told CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta. "The first time, we have an excuse. There were about 100,000 deaths that came from that original surge. All of the rest of them, in my mind, could have been mitigated or decreased substantially."[/quote]

And yet, if this goes South, Trump's MAGA crap will be largely responsible. We've had eight years of MAGA crap trying to deconstruct the government and now our Congress is paralyzed because of it at a really bad time.

But it's the chaos and bloodshed that drives MAGA, so we shouldn't be surprised.

Yet, astoundingly, during his 4 years, we were engaged in wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Ukraine.
