More of the Same


One of my friends who is a self-acclaimed conservative was somewhat surprisingly anti-Trump. When I queried him as to why, although his answer was a bit unclear, it had something to do with the way he handled Covid. I thought about telling him that we were in the midst of a pandemic, but then I realized that if his anti-Trump Covid reasoning did not really involve Trump’s handling of the pandemic, it would have possibly been related to his “mean tweeting.”

Certainly in retrospect, it was unlikely that Donald Trump could have stopped the pandemic, but to anti-Trumpers the pandemic alone was a reason to dislike President Trump.

The Leftist mainstream media just like my “conservative” friend blamed him for the disease’s arrival on American shores, even though he acted IMMEDIATELY when the US got its first reported case.

They said he didn’t do enough to stop it, accusing him of sitting idly by while Americans died, and so during the debates, Joe Biden just had to spit out a few of these numbers, putting the focus on the negatives of Trump’s response rather than point out the positive.

It was a hit job, really, coordinated by the Biden campaign and the Leftist media.

I’m assuming that my anti-Trump friend voted for Biden, as he said, “I’d never vote for Trump.”

On 10/30/2020 Joe Biden tweeted:

I’m not going to shut down the economy.

I’m going to shut down the virus.

I’m not going to shut down the country.

For emphasis, let me point out that Joe Biden has been in office now for almost nine months, and what he promised concerning the pandemic has not occurred.

From Freedom Wire:

And while the media is suddenly staying silent about negative COVID numbers, the latest ones show just how badly Biden has performed in “shutting down the virus.”

Under Joe Biden’s watch, which began in January 2021, more people have died of COVID than all of 2020.

According to data by John Hopkins University, as reported by ABC News, “More than 353,000 COVID-19 deaths have been reported since Jan 1st, compared with 352,000 COVID-19 deaths in the first 10 months of the pandemic. Over the last month, the U.S. has reported more than 47,000 deaths.”

The fact that Biden has done a worse job than Trump on his worst day may be why the narrative has shifted to blaming “the unvaccinated” instead of the man in charge.

Doesn’t seem right, does it?

If you’re going to blame ONE man for COVID deaths, then stick to your guns, media. If 2020’s death count was Trump’s fault, then 2021’s is Biden’s … tit-for-tat. 

Does he and other “Never-Trumpers” ever have “buyer’s remorse?”
