One country has one hundred people with compromised immune systems
One country has one hundred people with strong immune systems
You have zero evidence that the US population entered 2020 with worse immune systems that other industrialized countries. You are simply inventing that claim to make excuses for the world-worst response of the Trump Administration.
These "questions" you are asking have already been answered multiple times. You simply ignore our answers and then ask them over and over again.
I see you're still in the conservative echo chamber on this one. Here's a reality check for you:
Trump will have the worst jobs record in modern U.S. history. It’s not just the pandemic.President Trump took office at the crest of the longest economic expansion in U.S. history. He leaves presiding over the worst labor market in modern U.S. history, as an already-sputtering economic recovery has turned negative.
Friday’s awful jobs report from the Labor Department showed there were still 3 million fewer jobs in the United States than there were on Inauguration Day 2017, when Trump stood in front of the Capitol and vowed to reverse the American carnage.
No other modern president has left the U.S. with a smaller workforce than it had when they took office. Since the government started keeping track in 1939, no other president has even seen significant job losses during a single presidential term — though job growth during George W. Bush’s first four years in office was essentially flat.Here's some more sources if you don't like Washington Post:
Fortune:
Trump to leave office with the worst jobs record since Herbert Hoover (note: we didn't start keeping those records until after Hoover)
CNN:
Trump’s job losses are the worst of any American president on recordUSA Today:
Fact check: Chart of job growth by president shows historic unemployment under TrumpWe rate this claim TRUE, based on our research. More jobs were lost during the Trump administration than any other in history.Reuters:
Trump ends his term like a growing number of Americans: out of a jobTrump's management of the pandemic was absolutely catastrophic. He insisted over and over that it was not a big deal, and his corrupt cronies used the opportunity to gouge state governments who were trying to get critical medical supplies to help address the problem. It is no accident that the economy quickly recovered under Biden
even throughout another year-plus of the ongoing pandemic.
The claim that Trump was better on the economy than Biden is exactly the same as the claim that Dubya was better on the economy than Obama. It's unhinged Republican fantasy; completely delusional with no basis in reality.
Unless the economy-destroying shutdown-obsessed Democrat-run blue states immediately became pro-business and anti-shutdown the moment Trump left office, there is no difference here; Democrats are still job-killing commies regardless, right? You're just making excuses for why Trump's 9 months of COVID were a complete disaster, while Biden
immediately righted the ship when he got into office. This is directly and entirely due to the Trump Administration's pathetic COVID response; it is no accident that Mr. "The pandemic will be over by Easter" (note: Easter 2020 was April 12) presided over
TWENTY MILLION LOST JOBS in April 2020, the very same month he said COVID would be done with.
And for the record,
even prior to COVID Trump's economic growth was feeble compared to Obama's second term, much less Biden's term so far:
You can make a stronger argument for the George W. Bush economy than the Donald Trump economy. Trump was literally that bad.
1) He downplayed and politicized the virus, telling the whole country (not just "his people") that it wasn't serious and was a political stunt. This caused Americans to be resistant to steps like masking, not least because he himself refused to wear one (and said it made the wearer look "weak").
2) His corrupt and incompetent administration actively interfered with attempts to mitigate the virus. Not only did they NOT help, they
seized critical medical
supplies so they could resell them to the
highest bidder.
3) Trump himself repeatedly
interfered with the CDC's efforts to inform the public and set public policy.
Again, there is a reason why the United States of America had
the worst COVID response on the planet despite being the wealthiest nation on earth. It wasn't bad luck or an unhealthy population. It was rank incompetence and corruption, from the very top.
Your response to all of this when explained previously? (emphasis added)
Not sure how much of that is on him. Republicans would have not taken the virus seriously anyway, so he had to do what he needed to do to appeal to his base.
Complete denial and abdication of responsibility.
Don't expect any more responses from me on this topic. This has been thoroughly explained to you and you simply reject it. I have no interest in citations of a couple of studies that indicate
maybe masks aren't effective when y'all happily ignore DOZENS of studies that show that they are.
You're trolling.
