We had a choice to make, save people or have economic ruin that would have made the 1930's look like a boom. Trump chose operation warp speed and not economic ruin. Sure, Trump could have locked the country down to greatly decrease the virus deaths but the results would have been a 90% drop in GDP and 90% unemployment. All of those European countries the left brags about spent all of this time fighting the virus to have better numbers than the US and now as they open up they are seeing surges all over again. In other words, what they did didn't work. Trump was smart enough to know that months ago.

Other countries had the same choice. Other countries navigated this calamity with competence: minimal loss of life and minimal economic hardship, at least compared to the US. The proof is in the comparisons. The countries that took decisive action following the pandemic handbook weather this storm far better than the US, which was lead by incompetent leader.

This one is on Trump. He has no defense here.
