The post overstates the number of COVID-19 deaths reported in the U.S. during Trump’s presidency. At the time Trump left office in January 2021, the death toll had surpassed 400,000, according to multiple health organizations. The U.S. marked 1 million COVID-19 deaths in May 2022.
That means that about twice as many people in the US died from COVID under Biden’s administration than under Trump’s (1.2 million minus 400,000 = 800,000.
Granted, Biden had a lot longer time dealing with the pandemic than Trump did, but this was all just to point out that Biden ALSO sucked in his handling of COVID.
Trump’s entire handling of the pandemic including telling his cult members not to respect the advice of professionals continued to kill people until we hit 1 million. That’s roughly four months into Biden’s presidency. You can’t lay any of that on Biden.
“Equally responsible.” You’re out of your mind. 1 million COVID deaths under Trump. What kind of numbers you got for Biden?
