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.”

My first reaction was the same as yours. Considering he was being undermined and bamboozled from every direction it wasn’t bad. However, in hindsight the proper response was to tell the compromised to stay home and everyone else business as usual.

Trump’s declaration of a national emergency, his CDC and Covid panel making killer recommendations, and his supporting funding for massive subsidies to institutions all across the country led to it all.

The press conference where Fauci shut everything down and Trump stood there grinning like an idiot and pointing at people in the crowd. Then the massive spending bill was passed to “help” people affected by his irresponsible policy.

And I think all of this is the real reason he doesn’t want to debate.

So if you worked as a paid troll for the Democrats how would you posts be any different?

I would have to disagree. He let Fauci and scarf witch run the show

I disagree. It’s one of the great achievements, a true miracle, saving entire countries.

What matters is what he would do differently if he can beat the steal. No more globalists, no more nice guy.

If the Fed had followed President Trump’s suggestion to go with negative interest rates we wouldn’t be in this situation.

re: 17 & 24

The following is an adaptation of what sales calls were like at the end of the Trump administration:

Hello! Thank you for calling The United States Company, I’ll be happy to help you. Yes, I see you placed an order for “Drain the Swamp” near the end of 2016. I’m sorry to confirm I do see your payment went through but your order has not been delivered or even started on yet. I apologize 💐. Management has instructed me to tell you to just keep on waiting.

Yes, I see you also have another order from 2020 for “Keep America Great.” It says here there was a delivery confirmation by UPS. You say you never got that order either? I’ll go ahead and flag that order as intercepted and an investigation will be started. Yes, we’ve seen a lot of that since the lockdown began. No, I can’t give an estimation on when this investigation will be completed or even begin. Please be patient. Again, I do apologize for these delays. I’m sorry 💐.

(Between me and you, us sales reps have recently been trained by management to not say sorry or apologize for anything and avoid any talk about the economy, but I don’t think that’s right. But you didn’t hear it from me, ok?) Instead I’ll defer to my latest training and relay to you what I’ve been instructed to say - we value your business, please continue to wait. If you would like to pay for a new order and if that does somehow get delivered we can cancel and refund your previous order. No, I wouldn’t do that either if it were me.

No, because of the amount of calls just like your’s, we’ve been instructed to not escalate to a manager. Ok, I’ll look. The hold time for a manager is currently 3 hours and 22 minutes. But I’ll tell you exactly what they’ll tell you if I do transfer you to their call waiting list and the call isn’t disconnected. They’ll say just keep waiting and there’s nothing we can do.

Yes, I’ve left notes for this call log. And sir, not as an employee of The United States Company, but just as a stranger passing on the sidewalk, I’m sorry this is happening to us. 💐. Keep believing. Keep waiting. He’ll save us.
