You're saying he should have sought no advice, trusted no one, decided everything on his own, etc.?


Considering dumbasses like me could see through the bullshite on day 1 while doctors went full retard because they apparently forgot how to research, I’m sure there were plenty of people around Trump smart enough to see through bullshite

The problem was Trump was probably flattered into believing the liars

And Trump should have trusted his gut and not "the experts"


Thank God he stopped the China flights in January 2020. Of course they ridiculed him for it.

Not ridiculed. Criticized as racist.

Its interesting that the lunatics and their contrarian forum overlord are blaming Trump for not being aware that public health bureaucrats that have been "serving the public" for decades could not be trusted - as if ANYONE knew this at the time.


Come the frick on...this wasn't a decision about advising citizens to take more Vitamin C or stop eating fatty foods. THIS WAS A DECISION TO SHUT THE FRICKING US ECONOMY. you know, the one thing that has to keep humming regardless of external factors.

And while I do think it was essential for Trump to get advice from various sources, one thing is 100% fact. DONALD J TRUMP shut down the economy. Not Fauci or any other nimrod. Because of that, his attempt to blame others looks weak AF.

It's important to also note that Trump still proclaims Operation Warp Speed as a great achievement.

I have not ever felt being called a racist was critical. I have always felt that word is used to divide and control. I simply say, when called a racist, "thank you" and go about my day.

Oh you think the Iran conflict is going swell?

It may not be going perfectly, but it isn't a debacle. A debacle would entail us leaving in such a rush, we left millions and millions in equipment, would have people so desperate to leave that they attempt to hold onto planes as they launch and at least 13 soldiers would get killed in the chaos of it all.

Now that is a debacle.

Blame governors for that. Not Trump.....let's be fair and accurate. Business closures were ordered by and enforced on the state level.


I edited my post to be more clear. I thought Biden played a role in shutting down small stuff and leaving stuff like Walmart open as if that made any sense. If it was all up to govenors, surely Biden still had a hand in those awful decisions. It was far more prevalent in liberal places and far less is rural conservative areas. Florida panhandle hardly gave a damn outside medical facilities and temp scans at work.

False premise.


No. My premise is simple: if Trump was truly duped by Fauci and Brix into the Clownshow COVID response, then he was incompetent. If he’s not incompetent, then he was complicit.

pretending you weren’t all in on shutdowns is so disingenuous.


I can assure you, as a small business owner, I was never for any lockdowns and thankfully I live in a community where the local gov’t allowed us to reopen.

That diary entry says Trump got angry and blamed Birx and Fauci for decisions made by his own administration. It doesn’t say his presidency was stolen, that he uncovered a conspiracy, or that anybody tricked him.

Tucker supplied all of that narrative himself.

A man regretting his own choices isn’t evidence the presidency was stolen from him. It’s evidence he finally noticed the bill had arrived.

China is still laughing at us for believing the wet market theory and then destroying our economy with the Covid lockdown, and for believing that Joe Biden got 81 million votes.

At least most people in the Republican party now see all of this for the charade that it was. But most Democrats still believe in the wet market theory and that Joe Biden got 81 million votes. That's easily half the country.

Agreed. Printing $8 trillion in a single year was assisted-suicide for the global economy and every person on earth and subsequent generations will pay for the worst decision of all of humanity.

Now after 6.5 years of trickle-truth people have lost sight of the issue. An unbelievable course of events.

Covid was a crime against humanity and maybe the perfect crime at that because no one will be held responsible.

Every politician and judge on earth had their hand in the pot.

If everyone is responsible, then no one is responsible.

The wildest part of Covid was the complete disregard of the Nuremberg Code as the foundation for medical ethics.

We saw mass medical experimentation on human subjects without informed consent.

Anyone who tried to call this out at the time was silenced.

I don’t blame Trump here. Obviously with what we know now and with the benefit of hindsight it was a bad call. At the time, we were facing a one in 100 year pandemic that the experts were warning could kill millions. He trusted the only people who had any expertise in these matters. Who else could he trust? No one knew Fauci was lying to save his own arse from culpability in starting it in the first place. Trump made a bad call but he had dishonest actors around him and a media that would have crucified him had he ignored them. Trump made some mistakes but quickly realized he was duped and adjusted best he could. Yeah the buck does stop with him but he got really bad advice from some really bad actors.

So fricking what? The media attributed every death to him anyways.
