Ya know, there are limits to what a Prez can do.
We're a constitutional republic with 50 states (or at least
56 according to Obama). Governors have the primary
power to set rules in the states, & even they are limited
by state constitutions.
Sure, sure, I think Trump has done an awful job with the
power he does have. But to attribute all the deaths to his
policies? That ignores the fact that no matter what he did,
a great many would've died. And had he tried to shut down
the economy, that too would've caused great woe, & even
deaths....all on top of Covid 19 deaths.
Biden has attributed those deaths to Trump. But when
Joe wins & assumes office in Jan 2021, do you think
that he will own the deaths during his administration?
Nah. He'll blame Trump & other factors.
Actually, he really didn’t and still doesn’t care about the deaths. You can hear him on Woodward’s tapes, in his own voice. He knew, and he chose to hide information and to purposefully mislead the American public.Saying that a person doesn't care about something
is one of those not even false claims...mere insult.
It doesn't address what I posted.
No, Chump is not responsible for all 200,000 deaths so far, but his actions are undeniably responsible for many tens of thousands of them.
And No. Mr. Biden never claimed that Chump was responsible for all of them. He cited the facts that Chump knew, and took disasterous, and tragic action and inaction.
The evidence is clear and undeniable. Shutting down the economy, aiding the states with finances for the people, for the PPE, etc.... and leading by masked example while pressuring all govenors and even mayors, etc...(which he stated minutes ago in his Scranton PA town hall) would have, and still can save thousands of lives yet.
As for timing.....its like diverting a big asteroid on course to hit the Earth. A little invested energy early on has vast payoffs later. Now that Chump has screwed the pooch on that, when Mr. Biden becomes POTUS, we can try, hard, to limit the inevitable damage still coming at us.
