Trump's failed response has and is causing unnecessary deaths. But yeah, he's opened up the deficits to funding corvid testing (started by Bill Gates with private money, btw). Imo Trump deserves credit for both.1) Viruses kill people, not Presidents.But why should that absolve him from the 200K people dying because he ignored the virus and intentionally skipped on testing?
2) We have tested more people than any industrialized country in the Western Hemisphere combined.
But politically speaking, imo he'd be winning right now if he'd owned stuff rather than blaming others, but the decision to simply pass on testing is not defensible. My guess is that poltically that is just a ball breaker with most of the unaffiliated or swing voters.
