The 100% Bush-style defense is what is ridiculous: bad advice, good intentions, etc.
Huge deadly failure is huge deadly failure.
No, Trump did not mandate the serum of tyranny. He just created it and left it in the hands of the evil America-hating monkeys.
If the populist prez had done the normal, sane, scientifically sound thing... there would be no rotten fake vax to mandate. It would not have passed testing until beyond his second term. And by then we'd have know it was a miserable and deadly failure.
Trump gets the blame for the mandates. They would not be possible without his lust for power.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
You're not going to be with US much longer. So go full steam ahead with ranting and raving and lying. If you had any sense, you'd just bail and get back to being more active at the DUmp.
