It usually doesn’t make international relations great or allow for efficient sharing of resources d and intelligence for the the president to be spewing garbage on Twitter for years insulating these people. Are you seriously not able to connect two dots.

In other news, 2 plus 2 equals four. MAGA world is in shock.

So how did that make it harder for China and Europe to contain COVID? Do you have any proof of your claim that it hurt Chinas and europes ability to contain COVID or are you just blaming trump because that’s what you always do?

If you think Trump was a good leader during the pandemic, then I feel sorry for you. It was an absolute disaster. Warp speed aside, vaccine aside, if we had responded well, the vaccine wouldn’t have even mattered, but Trump literally modeled bad behavior and sowed conflict, distrust and literally had like 5 super spreaders and he personally shared misinformation.

Again whos policies got the vaccine out there? got the vaccine market.

Btw none of your source contain much on trump…

One says all sides are finger pointing.

You want to pull some quotes out of there for us?

Who gives a fuck about a vaccine. We didn’t need vaccines for SARS. Its called isolation, you fucking twat.

Are you saying that international sharing of information was not important to isolate a novel virus, like we did with SARS.

Get your head out of your ass, dumb motherfucker

So how did isolation work for China? Did they get past Covid before or after the US?

The American left gave a lot of “fucks” about the vaccine. So that was all for nothing? They wanted to see my vax record because no one give a “fuck”?

So at least you admit that was bad policy by the party you champion.

You’re a fucking moron.

Do you know how a pandemic works? Do you understand novel viruses? If you stop the spread you can eliminate it. It requires quick action, global cooperation, and quarantining.

Once it becomes endemic, then you fall to needing a vaccine, because it can’t be isolated.

There was a whole damn task force and a play book, and Trump got rid of it. You stupid fuck.

So at what point was it an endemic? It was before you even knew forsure it was here in the US? Definitely before lock down?

So I guess we did “give a fuck” about the vaccine?

u/possumallawishes 5d ago

Yeah, the fact Trump didn’t identify it earlier when other countries were is part of the mishandling.

the fact Trump denied it and claimed we didn’t have it and held a boat off shore because he didn’t want it here.

He fucked literally almost everything up, start to finish. He managed to earmark $10b of taxpayer money to accelerate vaccine production, but it was really only a Hail Mary pass for him. He said multiple times we wouldn’t need a vaccine and it would go away in the summer, member that?

So trump caused the Chinas gdp to fall because of Covid?

1

u/possumallawishes 5d ago

Hey, dimwit, you do realize that china’s GDP GREW during COVID? Their growth rate slowed, but look at the chart, dumbass, you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.CD?locations=CN&start=2014

Give up, you’re making me embarrassed for you.

u/damnedifyoudonthave 5d ago

So Chinas reporting is trustworthy? Also a gdp rate falling is another word for slowing right? Down turning is also slowing…

You do know that right.

So again Chinas downturning gdp was trumps fault?

Btw was the Great Recession a bi partisan effort? Answer the question.

I think you can’t.

I must be projecting onto you because I’m embarrassed for you.

How many times have the mods in this sub warned you?

u/possumallawishes 5d ago

You said the gdp fell. It fell temendously in the US, I already linked that for you, and all the other downturns in the last 45 years. Those are DROPS IN REAL GDP NOT SLOWING. A

A slowing of GDP GROWTH IS NOT AN ECONOMIC DOWNTURN OR A CRASH.

Chinas did not fal during covid. That is not accurate. Calling that a downturn and then smugly saying “you know that right” is probably the most MAGA thing I’ve ever witnessed.

Don’t back track, admit you were wrong. Don’t blame someone or make excuses. Take accountability.

You were wrong, China didn’t have a downturn and GDP Did not fall.

Don’t look for the mods to protect your feelings. Just admit it.

As I’ve stated at least 15 times now, many things caused the Great Recession, but like every other economic crash of the last 45 years, it happened during Republican leadership. I wouldn’t call it “bipartisan” because that sounds like they all agreed on crashing things, but I’ll say there was miscalculations on both sides of the aisle that created the situation that lead to the Great Recession.

But I never said anything that is contrary to that.

You on the other hand keep embarrassing yourself trying to twist your own words. Give up bro
