re: US officially enters recession - GDP contracted by 0.9% in Q2.

again in retrospect I agree that Trump could have handled the whole incident better but what you're describing with Desantis' actions were taken much later than what Trump faced initially. most of Desantis's actions, which I have agreed with, have been taken during Biden's term in office.

do you not remember the screaming from the mountain tops about how deadly and infectious this virus was and the mass hysteria this country was in spring & summer 2020? my God they were arresting lone surfers off the coast of California for breaking lockdowns.
