The important thing to note is how gullible Trump was/is. The pandemic was a fake (no deadlier then the flu) story driven by the CCP, the media, Democrat, and bureaucrats - yet Trump fell for it hook, line, and sinker.

He locked down the country and added trillions to our national debt trying to tackle a mirage.

The national debt rose by nearly $7.8 trillion while Trump was in office, and the infusion marks the third-largest relative increase of a U.S. presidential administration, according to the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center.

Trump and his allies are quick to point out that much of that came as a result of the pandemic, an unprecedented event that upended the country in the lead-up to the 2020 election.

Exactly right. As President, the buck stopped with Trump and as indicated the deficit skyrocketed under Trump. COVID is no excuse. He listened to the wrong people. It's that simple. Furthermore, the fact that he has never apologized for the death jab demonstrates that he is not prepared to deal with reality.

@boxcar @veritas He was responsible for evaluating experts. As President he had no right to unload his responsibility for governance to unquetionable and unquestioned so-called "experts" The buck stopped with Trump, not with Fauci or Birx.
