Trump: ‘We Did Such a Great Job’ Responding to COVID, Got Economy Back to Doing Well
Breitbart ^ | 09/6/2023 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 09/06/2023 5:01:55 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

During an interview aired on Tuesday’s broadcast of SiriusXM’s “Stacy On The Right,” 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump touted his response to the coronavirus pandemic during his first term and stated that “we did such a great job with COVID.” And that he got things “back to a point where our country and our economy [were] doing well.”

Trump said, [relevant remarks begin around 11:50] “[I]n 2016 and 2020, we did great. We did better in 2020 by a lot, by close to 12 million votes. We did better in 2020 than we did in 2016. Everyone talks about 2016, which was great, but 2020, we did better. But it was disgraceful what happened. More votes than any sitting President ever…when a president re-runs, they never get as many votes, very rarely. But I got [many] more votes in 2020 than we did in 2016, meaning people really liked the job we did, and that’s despite COVID. And that’s the big secret, because we did such a great job with COVID. Nobody knew what it was when it first came…but we got it back to a point where our country and our economy [were] doing well. Biden is blowing it with inflation so badly.”

Bovine scatology. He owns the lockdowns and a good chunk of the inflation.

He’s the one who suspended the Constitution by declaring an emergency. He started the lockdowns. He oversaw the rushed production of more killer vents. Oversaw trillions in largely bogus spending and the pushing of the killer jabs through a military system that prevented liability for Big Pharma’s concoctions. His administration held up effective, cheap and readily available treatments that would have stopped EUA for the jabs. Etc. Etc.

I called for the graduated (Fibonacci) introduction of the vaccines around April 2020.

To avoid the possibility of hundreds of deaths outside of a clinical trial hundreds of thousands of Americans died that would have lived if vaccinated.

“At the data cut-off date of October 9, a total of 37,706 participants had a median of at least 2 months of safety data available after the second dose and contributed to the main safety data set.”

While the FDA was looking over numbers, Trump was cheated out of reelection.

I lost my job at the end of December 2020.

I wasn't doing well.

What was once a very fun sales job where the calls use to be "Thank you for calling how can I help?" turned into "I'm sorry your order isn't there yet. I see it's been stuck in international shipping customs for 6 months. I know you paid over $2000 for it. Please keep waiting."

"We did better in 2020 by a lot"

"That ain't the way I heared it!"

I remember a story from old Soviet Russia where someone's father rode a train every day for a week to travel to the other side of the country to bring back a toilet because there were none to be found locally. That's what America was starting to feel like at the end of 2020.

I use to come to work with a smile in my voice. By the end of Trump's presidency I was coming to work with an apology and a bouquet of roses. This guy and I aren't living on the same planet.

“Biden is blowing it with inflation so badly.”

Most COVID money went out with Trump’s signed endorsement. There were $600 weekly handouts. Millions of people got more sitting on a couch than they got working. A Trump era federal eviction moratorium devasted residential landlords. As many still unvaccinated freepers can tell you, such a broad moratorium was not needed.

When McConnell negotiated a $600 handout cap in late 2020, Trump flippantly said it ought to be $2000, costing Republicans a Georgia Senate seat.

Shoulda told Nancy and Chuck U Schumer to stuff their big spending. ‘two weeks to bend the curve’ was the biggest mistake he agreed to. Couldn’t dig himself back out. Even though he tried with ‘We can’t let the cure be worse than the problem itself’

Voted for DT twice, but won’t again. His massive ego won’t allow him to leave the stage. Can’t believe 80+ yo Biden will run again as his dementia is already on full display, but he might win if DT is his opponent. Trump’s only hope is if the Dems send in repellent Kamala or gay Buttegig, but, alas, they aren’t that stupid.

“father rode a train every day for a week to travel to the other side of the country to bring back a toilet because there were none to be found locally.”

HMMMMM?

How many toilets did he need?

So was it a week to get to the “other side of the country” and a week to get back home? How could he hold it for so long?

Preach it! Trump or bust. Plenty here are choosing bust. Fine by me, so long as the ratpublicans go down with the ship.

“He owns the lockdowns and a good chunk of the inflation.”

How so? Here, in Louisiana, the democrat governor enforced the lockdown. Some states had no lockdown.

And, people like you are judging from hindsight. No one, and that includes you, had a clue as to how the virus would play out. The lockdowns were initially thought of as quarantine, a time honored way to fight the spread of a disease.

Biden was president while the virus was major in this country and around the world.
