None. and the UE rate is as low right now as it ever was under Trump, pre-COVID.
When the UE rate was this low under Trump you all were on your knees worshiping him for the greatest UE rate every. Now all of a sudden that same rate is bad.
How do you justify this sort of thing to yourself?

The point, which should be obvious, is that lack of leadership at the federal level, left the governors to ad-hoc try and control the situation. As they didn't have very many resources, suffering lack of hospital capacity, PPE, etc. They had to control it as best they could without outside help.

Add to that, the federal reserve (Jerome Powell) is pushing unemployment UP, in order to tame inflation. So the Biden unemployment numbers are looking even better. That even with the federal reserve headwind (high interest rates) they better than under Trump who had a federal reserve tailwind (low interest rates)

Exactly. Trump knew how bad COVID was in January 2019, that we know of, because he told Bob Woodward that. Trump was probably briefed well before that, and did nothing.
Did Trump prepare? Did he order PPE production? Did he reconstitute the white house pandemic response team? Did he warn people how contagious COVID was?
No, No, No and No.

Don't deflect, pinocchio pete.

No, No, No and No.
This reminds me of when I say Bush lied us into a war you say Hillary voted for it too.
But you never say that about Republicans when you say Clinton signed NAFTA.

/——/ When Trump wanted to manage things, Governors screamed STATES RIGHTS. Trump did grove every state the resources they asked for. NY didn’t even use them all. Try again.

Do you have some data the jobs now are different than those 4 years ago?
/——/ The CDC administration was already in place when Trump was sworn in. Try again.

And Trump was the head of the Executive Branch, under which the CDC falls.

Trump recommended they shut down...
"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
But you didn't know that.
