1. I'll say

[lees1975]

3. You're right.

You have not been given appropriate credit for the biggest botch of a national emergency in American history. for irresponsibility that cost a million lives, and for all the lying, blaming and shirking responsibility. You should be jailed for that kind of incompetence.

[malaise]

10. THIS

He lied and lied and caused all those deaths.

[2naSalit]

28. Over a million and counting!

[Hugin]

34. PZero telling it like it is... For ONCE! n/t

[UTUSN]

4. The bleach manufacturers didn't put them on the cover of their trade magazine?!

[Botany]

5. Here you go Donny much of this is all on you

15 million dead world wide.

[2naSalit]

29. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++!!!

[CloudWatcher]

6. I wish this was funny.

He deserves a firing squad for his Covid response.

[GopherGal]

22. Maybe he wants his mugshot hung up in the Kremlin

... as Vlad's "Employee of the Month" for March 2020

[2naSalit]

30. +1

[Retrograde]

7. This is true

we need to make sure he gets credit for ignoring the CDC, putting his worthless son-in-law in charge of funneling PPE supplies and monies into his and his cronies' pockets, trashing the Bush and Obama epidemic response plans, exposing his supporters, Secret Service agents, and others to the virus, and other actions, too numerous for me to remember.

[Hekate]

26. This, all this and so much more

[Hugin]

35. The Trumps did more than ignore the CDC... Much more.

They actively inserted themselves into the top tiers of the organization and controlled the messaging.

I'm still wondering why there was a lockdown. Even though IMHO it was the correct thing to do, of course botched in the end. The Republicans wouldn't have done it initially unless they thought there was something in it for them.

[magicarpet]

8. Credit for 1 million dead,...

.... because it was politically inconvenient for you to be upright and forthcoming with the public about the ways Covid 19 was to ravage America.

You mishandled every facet of the pandemic which resulted in many many horrifically needless deaths.

Now you want people to kiss your feet.

Fuck off Orange Menace,.. get lost,.. leave us be.

[TSExile]

9. Is he freaking serious????

He's a rapist, a murderer and a sociopath. Leave us alone before you hurt even more people!!!

[Jarqui]

11. His Covid policies killed a lot of people - is that the credit he's looking for? ...nt

[Firestorm49]

12. Right, but we sure did get a good laugh out of it.

Meant sarcastically of course.

[LuckyCharms]

13. I give him all the credit in the world

for, I don't know, maybe 500,000 deaths out of over the million people who died from Covid in the US.

Great job, Donald.

Great job.

Go drink some bleach, or perhaps "introduce some light into your body".

[Blue Owl]

14. Fuck off fat man

[gratuitous]

15. What in the ever-lovin' blue-eyed world is he on about now?

Sarah Cooper gave him a ton of credit:

16. I would applaud a fifth trial.

My mother died, along with nine other people in her nursing home, because of Comb-over Caligula politicizing wearing masks and getting the vaccine in order to protect others from catching COVID 19. I agree with the poster up thread who said he deserves the firing squad.

[underpants]

17. I post this again for all to share

[keep_left]

18. He never got the credit he deserved? Just a couple of days ago, Trump...

...started making all kinds of paranoid statements about the "Covid hysteria" of the "left" (gag). You know, instead of actually appearing Presidential: at least feigning concern about rising cases and hospitalizations in the last few weeks, etc.

Trump deserves little or no credit for his "handling" of Covid. From his firing of the CDC intelligence team, ignoring what little early information there was after firing said intelligence team, the discarding of the Obama-era pandemic strategy, ignoring the pandemic to suck up to Wall Street, claiming we would be "back to normal by Easter", and in general making Covid into yet another front in the culture war, Trump made the pandemic even worse whether he intended to or not. Even the one thing he can legitimately claim as his own--freeing up Federal funds and cutting red tape for rapid vaccine development--was mostly ruined by his need to Kulturkampf absolutely everything, including even a public health crisis. For God's sake, every time Trump encouraged his followers to get vaccinated, they shouted him down! Eventually, it became such a media spectacle that he just gave up.

[GopherGal]

23. The only thing he deserves any credit for at all is "Operation Warp Speed" to create a vaccine.

But he didn't dare take credit for that when his "poorly educated" followers he "loves" so much bought in so enthusiastically to the anti-vax nonsense.

So no sympathy for poor under-appreciated P01135809 from me. In fact, I may need to bask a little more in that irony.

Hmm. Now that I think of it, he may have inadvertently helped make America great by killing off some of his KulturKampf Klub* followers
(*apologies to Boy George).

[ProfessorGAC]

25. Only Partial Credit

The mRNA vaccines were well into development, partly with government grants, before COVID.
One vaccine maker took NO Warp Speed money.
Another only took money to drop everything & gear up for mass production.
Another only took money to scale-up & a guarantee that doses they made would be paid for even if approval wasn't granted.
Warp Speed did some things. It was not the primary driver to the rapid rollout.
So, only partial credit.

[randr]

19. Correct me if I am wrong

He was compensated for filling a temp job that required him to do something.

[vapor2]

20. credit for diverting funds and supplies???

[tinrobot]

21. Please give him credit for suggesting bleach injections.

[TheRealNorth]

24. He sat on his ass for most of January and February...

And punished the CDC people that were trying to take it seriously because he was afraid it would cause the stock market to tank.

[kairos12]

27. While we all washing down groceries and boxes he knew it was spread

through respiration.

He's a fucking biological terrorist.

GITMO his fat ass.

[Voltaire2]

31. Perhaps had he chosen to promote the vaccines

that were developed in record time with government subsidies instead of pandering to the antivax yahoos he might have gotten some of that credit.

[Kid Berwyn]

32. I'll say.

Instead of using his powers as President to protect the People and fight the coronavirus, Trump did nothing to protect the People of the United States of America.



May the charges he faces soon face include Gross Criminal Dereliction of Duty.

So, why didn't Trump warn us?

[Conjuay]

33. I lost my brother and a life long friend.

I give you credit for both,scumbag.
