Trump's legacy will be the coronavirus pandemic and Recession/Depression

This is what Trump supporters are saying, but the administration's 31 January order only limited entry by non-US-resident foreign nationals who had been in China in the previous two weeks.

I dont know where you're from, but that's like THOUSANDS of people here at LAX on a daily basis. SFO would be another huge hub, we get tons of chinese visitors.

While our testing numbers per capita will likely never catch the smaller dense countries, we cant fake our death numbers so easily. BY FAR, a much lower death per capita than most euro countries, second to Germany, which seems to be rising and likely be worse off than the US.

Well at the end of the day, there will only be losers, plus two 'relative' winners: the US and China.

I realize it was better than nothing, but it's not the "travel ban" that so many Trump supporters seem to be claiming now. He brushed the virus off when other countries were taking it seriously, but now they say he was on top of it all along. Not true.

...While our testing numbers per capita will likely never catch the smaller dense countries, we cant fake our death numbers so easily. BY FAR, a much lower death per capita than most euro countries, second to Germany, which seems to be rising and likely be worse off than the US.

I'm happy for you. Go USA, we're almost winning now.

The majority of Americans approve of Trump's handling of the outbreak.

Damn that pesky reality.

Facts - leftists like the TS worst nightmare.

The disturbing thing about threads like this and people like the TS is you know that would rather see things get worse, just to spite Trump, than things to improve because it may also make him look good.

The media is on top of it, when Trump suggested successful drugs to treat the virus..

it bought us a lot of time, because on a per capita basis, euro nations are doing FAR WORSE.

As I said though, the time bought doesn't change the eventual toll. First 1000 deaths took a few weeks, next thousand took two days. I think the next 1400 was the next day. With a doubling time between 2-3 days, our trajectory than most European countries, we are just a little behind. Per capita only kinda makes sense as a way to break down the effects of restrictions, because we have so much more open space and areas with less crowded suburbs and rural areas. This is a city by city disease. New York is very soon more than likely going to be worse than most of Italy, all but maybe Milan.

It's all about what was done with that time bought.

His handling of this pandemic is how history will remember Donald Trump. Fifty years from now historians will not spend much time on Russiagate, Robert Mueller or Dirty Dossiers and alleged pee tapes, nor will massive tax cuts for the rich or the endless petty insults and the litany of lies make much of a mark.

Trump knows this is how he will be judged. That’s why he’s growing so unhinged in public. Our economy, seemingly so strong, cratered in a mere ten days. The virus is not Trump’s fault of course, but the dismantling of the pandemic response team at the National Security Council surely is. Ignoring the threat for months also rests on his shoulders. The nation is now on the brink, and how he handles the crisis is his test. It should be clear to all, he’s failing miserably.

After Trump is gone from office, the above will literally be the introductory paragraph of his wiki page. The number of dead Americans from COVID-19 will be associated with his name. And like another one term Republican President, he will also be known as the President that ushered in a Depression. I say call it a Trumpression to historically distinguish it from the Great Depression.

Herbert Clark Hoover (August 10, 1874 – October 20, 1964) was an American engineer, businessman, and politician who served as the 31st president of the United States from 1929 to 1933. A member of the Republican Party, he held office during the onset of the Great Depression.

Literally the second sentence above links the Great Depression to Herbert Hoover. 90 years of life and that is the first thing people think of him. For most, it's the only thing.

History won't be kind to Trump. Those among you who support him now will deny ever supporting him in 10-20 years.

I started this thread way back in the March era of 2020 but I never bothered to respond to the 245 replies that followed. Reason? I was right then as I am now hence I wasn't going to lower myself to debate this with right wing morons.

Still think the coronvirus won't be Trump's lasting legacy? It will literally be the first sentence in his obituary.

Quite the depression we have going on. I think the Dow is 10 K higher than Obama ever reached.

Orange man good?

Yes lets totally ignore why this happened and that its greatly impacted the rest of world.. make it all about Trump and the United States.


I agree Trump would have been better to close his mouth and let experts talk when it comes to covid.

What did other leaders actually do that Trump didn't? besides this is the United States so things are different its not as if Trump controls everything in the country where they have much more autonomy vs most countries in Europe. That is why we've seen places with harsh lockdowns and those with less restrictive lockdowns that have suffered less economically.

Do you think Trump should have gone full dictator and ordered total lockdown of everything hoping the virus will just vanish? it would have just came back and delayed things. You'd all be protesting against the Trump lockdown regime. The economy would have been even worse.

Something like Trumps a failure, mass lockdown wasn't worth it and cost us the economy when mostly elderly and sick people died..


Look at anti-lockdown protests around the world. People have had enough and would rather risk the small chance of dying from covid than live under lockdown any longer.
