Cant address anything, can you?......
The amount of delusion required to think that COVID is going to be a net positive for Trump is totally nuts. It will be the number one reason Trump losses if he fails to win the upcoming election. Barring COVID, the economy alone was going to see Trump back in office. Now COVID is all that matters and it looks worse for him by the day.
How you can call the US response good or even adequate is nuts. It was clearly a failure.
So, two questions.
1. Before Covid, you were ok with Trump?
2. Do you expect anyone to believe that ANYTHING Trump did on this issue, would have been enough for you to admit he did well?
No.
I have my doubt that anyone would have handled this well - most of the world has done a rather poor job handling the situation. I do think that most any other admin would have handled it better than Trump did however. The reality is that Trump runs a very adversarial and loud administration that is not well equipped to get things done in a quick manner. Works rather well when things are going well and my main goal for the government is for it to get the hell out of the way. Works rather poorly when the government is tasked with handling any real crisis though. What I believe or think however is not material to how this has effected Trump in any sense of the word. I am one of 330 million people. By any rational and objective measure, COVID has been extremely bad for Trump's administration.
How exactly do you think COVID has befitted Trump's re-election prospects? Economy went from doing quite well to shitting the bed. Unemployment went from record lows to depression levels. The nation in general is not pleased with his handling of the situation - every metric shows this. Even if his handling was perfect, it is perception that matters for an election. Trade deals went from the front page to not even mentioned. Nothing supports the silly ass assertion in the OP.
I asked you if anyone would believe that anything Trump might have done, would have been enough for you to admit he did well,
You did not even address the question. Instead, you bashed Trump a good deal and declared that the issue has hurt him.
Do you realize how little credibility you have?
The topic is quite simple. That you want to make it something else is not really my problem. Trump could have done enough for me to say he did well. Only your partisanship gets in the way of you thinking otherwise. I really did not expect him to do well though and not because he is Trump but because the entire planet is working through this virtually blind.
And no, I did not bash 'Trump a good deal.' I didn't really bash him at all.
