I preface this comment by noting that I am an admirer of Presidents Reagan and Trump, both great men; I couldn’t walk an hour in their shoes.

However, whatever chicanery Reagan let the Dems get away with, pales in comparison to Trump’s handling of covid.

He essentially ceded control of the country to the malevolent dwarf, scarf lady and the rest of the covid cabal - he compounded that mistake by touting ‘his’ vaccines (and still does I believe).

Fauxi et al. should have been sent packing after two weeks to flatten the curve became indefinite house arrest. There is no excuse for this lapse in judgment. If I eventually figured out the whole covid thing was a sham of epic proportions, so should have Trump.

It probably cost Trump the election -fraud aside- and perhaps doomed the republic. We’ll see.

Sadly, everything you just said is the truth with regards to Trump and covid.

Trump’s treatment of Fauci and covid is a little like Eisenhower taking credit for the Holocaust and letting Hitler run rampant.

I totally agree with you.

All true, but if you are implying Reagan would have stood up to the malevolent dwarf, you are mistaken, because said dwarf ran the response to AIDS under Reagan.

He pushed much of the same crap back then: spreading fear, pushing the idea that all were equally at risk, ineffective methods to prevent the spread, mandating expensive toxic drugs and suppressing the off-label use of approved drugs.

And was he ever reigned in, much less held accountable for what he did to the country?

Hell no. He not only got away with it, he went on to get rewarded, and was only emboldened to run the same crap again, and add new tactics to it.
