What happened to American exceptionalism? American competence and leadership around the globe?
We had a six to eight week lead time knowing what S. Korea and parts of Europe were going through was heading for our shores.
Closing in on 150,000 deaths is not a success story and neither is the death rate the only meaningful measure of success. Ask the folks that have lingering health issues effecting their quality of life if that’s not meaningful.
You may be willing to accept American incompetence or mediocrity but I am not.

Or how inadequate Obama’s response was to the economy for 8 years.

Yeah, that quantum leap after he left office was a coincidence.

Are you implying a three years retired president’s policy is to blame for our current situation here and now, and how we, the USA, failed in our response to COVID? It’s possible, but in this case I don’t think it’s relevant or true.

Also, reference this (or google any media sources that are reliable):

I’m just glad we can have civilized political discussions. I’ve seen lots of minds changed on the internet about political topics.

Instead you will vote for Biden who has some serious cognitive (dementia) issues to lead the free world? Your hatred for Trump is enough to vote a bobblehead in? Before COVID the economy was great and you can't blame that on Trump. He will will rebuild the economy. The vaccine is close. Trump is not perfect but I think he is doing a great job. Chooo chooo
