Did Trump really ‘ruin the economy’ in 2020 or did blue state governors and mayors ruin it with lockdowns and mandates?

We constantly hear Lefties say it…”Trump ruined the economy”……but did he?
Did he ever champion lockdowns, closures and the like?
Was he ever in favor of mandates and all the things that caused the “crash”?
Blue state governors are the guilty ones.

You know, the one who told everyone to wear masks and then got caught without them.

His poor response to covid did.

Governors of all states followed CDC guidance to some degree. Some followed the guidance more closely than others. Had all followed it closely, Trump would have probably won a second term. Instead he constantly undermined his own CDC and we saw what happened.

Yes, Trump was the one who recommended it and then the states followed his recommendations...




"Therefore, my administration is recommending that all Americans, including the young and healthy, work to engage in schooling from home when possible, avoid gathering in groups of more than 10 people, avoid discretionary travel and avoid eating and drinking in bars, restaurants, and public food courts." ~ Donald Trump, 3.16.2020

That's a little different from a mandate.

Silly question really unless you were just born last year!
  • The onus to go to lockdowns and shutdowns was purely a demand made by many blue state governors the summer of 2020 who insisted THEY had final authority over their state, not the president! And it was that action which is almost entirely responsible for the ruined economy and other problems we have today, and all in response to a virus that in many ways wasn't nearly as bad as some other viruses which the world got through with no panic at all.
Of course we all know that if Uncle Bedpan ordered the states tomorrow that we all had to sleep on our heads facing East, every one of those same governors would say: "Yes Sir, you are the Boss! We follow the 'science'!"

No, a whole lot of blue state governors took a deep dive off the left platform.

CDC gave us guidelines on how to keep businesses open, democrat mayors and governors decided to shut them down and keep them closed even after CDC told us it would be safe to reopen them.

LOL

Your utter derangement is noted and laughed at. Again, Trump recommended it in early spring.

Nowhere in that video does he say what you claimed.

Why lie?

He made recommendations for personal behaviors he didn't say anything about shutting down businesses.

He recommended people not go to restaurants. States legislated those recommendations to not allow dine-in eating.

In all fairness they just parroted what Fauci said and did what he recommended.

Trump should have stomped him out like a bug as soon as he started conflicting with the Administration on Covid recommendations.

Don';t forget eaither that his emails from that period have now been made public in which he was telling friends and families one thing and the public something completely different.

He's a disgrace and should be tarred, feathered and run out of science and medicine publicly.
 
He recommended people not go to restaurants. States legislated those recommendations to not allow dine-in eating.
He recommended they avoid Crowded AREAS like crowded restaurants.

He didn't call for closures of any schools or businesses, those were strictly due to decisions made by governors and mayors.
 
Trump, like every republican who becomes president spends money like a drunken sailor at a whore house, but never knows how to pay it off. Trump's great plan was that the economy was going to do great and that's how it will be "paid off." The end. Welcome to the moron's guide on how to run government into the ground, so what do you think?
 
Blue state governors are the guilty ones.
Red States closed down or Not?
THEY had final authority over their state, not the president!
Had Feckless trump actually been a LEADER and LED the Nation, you could actually support trump.


But, since you admit trump wasn't the LEADER, because THEY had final authority over their state, not the president!, what does that say about the POTUS? Any POTUS? Who LEADS the Nation, Governors or POTUS?

You're lying. He recommended they avoid eating/drinking in restaurants, bars and food courts...

"and avoid eating and drinking in bars, restaurants, and public food courts." ~ Donald Trump, 3.16.2020

Many states followed his recommendations and closed down dine-in eating.

He recommended no gatherings of more than 10 people and home schooling...

"work to engage in schooling from home when possible" ~ Donald Trump, 3.16.2020

Many states followed his recommendations and enforced schooling from home.

See?

It goes right over their heads.

I think there's a part of the brain missing.

Just like a psychopath who can't pick up on social cues, because the brain pathway isn't there.

Growth is the only means by which we could ever dig ourselves out from under our National Debt.

You could tax the wealth of the "rich" at 100% for ten years and still not have a balanced budget without some serious cutting.

I guess it's pretty handy to cut out what he said before your quotes begin.

People can carry food items out of bars and restaurants can't they?

You're the one lying, not me.

And that in no way is a call to close businesses nor did he make such an attempt at any time.

What about that pesky truth though TDS’er?
Didn’t the treasury take in record revenues on Trumps watch?
