“90% of the credit for its existence belongs to Trump.”

He deserves credit for blowing through the bureaucracy and getting the vaccine done < 1 year. Trump at his best, getting things done even if you are a vax skeptic.

He also deserves blame for the lockdowns, crushing the economy, the massive debt and wasteful payouts, knighting Fauci, and setting the precedent for the biggest government intrusion during peacetime.

He also deserves blame for the lockdowns, crushing the economy, the massive debt and wasteful payouts, knighting Fauci, and setting the precedent for the biggest government intrusion during peacetime.

All of that did happen during his tenure. But, you fail to recognize that, he was dealing with a 'crisis' unlike any before, and he depended on the 'experts' to guide him with lockdowns and closing the economy and having to come up with bills for Covid payments when people had to stay home and not work. Covid payouts and wasteful spending and government intrusion, were the order of the day or times. You are a 20/20 quarterback. It's easy to see where the problems and bad solutions are, after the fact.
