What are your thoughts on how President Trump handled the COVID Pandemic in his first term?

Question

Are you concerned about how he would handle a situation of this magnitude in the future?

He did not take a centralized approach to this. Instead he provided the assistance that every state needed. Wherever there was a crisis Trump was there with the solution. Even Gavin Newsome said that Trump gave him all the help that he needed. He also rallied American manufacturers to build ventilators that were neded for Covid patients. Nobody that needed one went without one. We had a surplus that was sent to other countries.
Trump set up field hospitals in various places in America and had 2 ships outfitted as hospital ships.
His program Warp Speed removed the roadblocks nd got the cOvid vaccine produce in 6 months instead of 6 years.
He had daily briefings and kept citizens informed about the virus and what the government was doing.
When his term was over the vaccine had just been produced. The new administration distributed it by racial standards and people were fired for not taking the vaccine. The administration passed a law prohibiting anyone from collecting unemployment benefits that were fired for not taking the vaccine.
Schools and businesses were locked down. Even tough it was proven that young people were in very little danger from the virus they were forced to take the shot or they would be denied an education.
Many first responders and military personnel were fired as well.
If Trump had won in 2020 we would not still be dealing with the results of the pandemic.

Very poor initial response. I think he thought it was just going to buzz through and go away. So that was a bad miscalculation.

One of the few things I’ll give him credit for, and not that he was behind any of the science, but Operation: Warp Speed was under his watch, and that led to Biden being able to deliver the vaccine, particularly to my elderly, who was my main concern.

I did get to sneak in with him as his caregiver, and get one of the initial rounds that was for seniors, though. That was definitely a relief. And we DID get Covid (nice going, Aunt Sandra😒), and my dad legit almost died, and I can only think the vaccine made the difference between life and death. And mine was more or less asymptomatic, other than (if this makes sense) I could FEEL the spot in my lungs it was trying to latch onto, and just couldn’t get its footing, which I definitely credit to the vaccine as well. And I have asthma, so Covid is Bad News Bears for me too.

But yeah, anyway…it’s not been often over the past ten years or so that I’ve been able to find much pride in being American, but that was definitely pride-worthy, more so our scientists, but credit to Trump and Biden for getting it done and delivered👍

Let's see, he told people to inject bleach and shine lights on the area. To use ivermectin which does nothing. He sold masks and medical equipment to Russia when we needed them here. He denied that it was even an issue and let millions die. He wanted to test less often so that the numbers didn't look as bad.

He finally admitted it was an issue and paid a bunch of money adding to the national debt for an actual med that worked so that's about the only good thing he did.

He's awful at dealing with a crisis and is willing to sacrifice all of us if it means he looks good and he gets paid.

He let it into the country for starters.
No excuses.
Entirely his fault it entered the country.

He said (on live tv) to inject UV light and or disinfectant into the body proving what a complete idiot he is.

And all the other idiots of the country wanted round two?

MisterWack · Answer

To speak honestly, once the schools shutdown and I felt “isolated” I turned to the President of The United States of America to make sense of all this. He claimed we were rounding the corner and that this should be gone by Easter, turn to Summer as the weather warms up, turned to…. All of a sudden we got audio tape admitting he knew back in February that there was a deadly disease. “I always played it down, didn’t want to create a panic” & “This is deadly stuff”.

Not to mention I’d watch rally after rally and interview after interview (“People are dying that’s true, It is what it is”). I compared that to his political opponent Joesph R. Biden who would host small car rallies, zoom fireside chats, and wear a mask while promoting CDC Regulations which I firmly believe won him the election. He spoke directly to the people affected and criticized Trump Administration’s handling.

Lliam · Answer

I disagreed with his Operation Warp speed. He was misinformed.
Fast tracking "experimental" mRNA jabs and allowing them to receive emergency authorization even though there were other means of combating covid was an evil plot by Gates and big pharma.
Trump should have educated himself, fired Fauci, ignored the WHO, and cleaned out the corruption in the CDC.

The Biden policy of lock downs, mandatory masking and social distancing was incredibly harmful to human health and the economy, which was the plan all along.

The use of remdesivir along with ventilators was murder.
The mRNA jabs were deliberately harmful. They caused death and permanent injury to millions and are a ticking time bomb inside people who got them.

Trump didn't "handle" the Covid-19 pandemic. He mishandled it like the ignorant self-absorbed buffoon he is. He told people to drink bleach and eat horse dewormer or stick a UV light up thier ass to kill a virus. But he undermined medical science by telling people to not wear masks or get vaccinated.

2nd time around? It will be no different. tRump is never going to get any smarter or grow a conscience.

Spencer10 · Answer

Covid wast he one major crisis his administration faced. His administration totally blew it ("Its just the flu") and 10s of 1000s of Americans die needlessly. USA had one of the worst outcomes in the western world. BS over science. This should tell you a lot about the next term. Why to Americans have such short memories? Hell he has already chosen to leave the WHO...

Syntosi · Answer

Pretty simple, he did not handle it. He just pushed all the responsibility onto the states and pretended Covid19 did not exist more or less. Kind of what he is doing with bird flu right now which might actually result in a 2nd pandemic. Truly the plague president if you ask me.

NicholasRedone · Answer

As a foreigner that I'm? I think he did a terrible job throughout his first term. Every decision seemed to always become a negative and somehow the only competent president has been Obama and Biden as competent office holders. Praise the democrats praise 👏🏻 💙 their blue hearts of joy democrats

Surely · Answer

I think he would have done more. The Democrats did their best to stop him from doing more.
I remember when foreign countries had epidemics. All flights from those countries were canceled until things cooled down. Democrats called Trump some phobia when he suggested to do that. Plus people just can’t seem to stay home when sick anymore!

Pterodon · Answer

I thought he did wonderful. I wouldn’t have done any mandates either but he bowed to democrats pressure. The reality was nobody knew anything on what to do. It was just a guessing game and the democrats guessed wrong. Plus he had car companies manufacture ventilators. Not a single person in America had to share a ventilator like in other countries

jshm2 · Answer

He should have been prosecuted for that. In fact it's one reason he was so desperate to get back into office. There was an upcoming court case for how he handled the pandemic.

Fireguy17 · Answer

just fine, all of the things he wanted to do the dems blocked him, and later ended up doing those same things and then blamed Trump for not doing them. Funny how that worked out.

DrPepper12 · Answer

Misinformation, lies about his own health, special equipment for his buddy Vlad and hundreds of thousands of needless deaths due to his incompetence, ego & ignorance? Yeah, he did great! No worries!

genericname85 · Answer

he started out handling it right (by ignoring it as he should have) but then he caved cause that was pretty much the best chance to make his rich friends more rich. but yeah so did every other western leadership except sweden.

Filthy_Immigrant · Answer

he handled it prett well. he didn't force any mandates, didn't spend trillions on a useless vaccine that did more bad than good and encourage people to stay strong, unlike someone.

he also tried to stop covid19 from ever coming to our land by stopping all the flights and ships that were coming from China but unfortunately democrats stopped him and tried labeling him "racist"

CalmUntilAbused · Answer

My opinion is that His reaction was moderate and therefore appropriate.

Sevenpointfive · Answer

he didn't do shit. he did what he was paid to do. scare people.

Dargil · Answer

His second term is the only thing important now.

seeyounexttuesday · Answer

I am. He should have never listened to Fauci or promoted the shots.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

I think he did well. You can't save anyone from a pandemic besides the point Covid was only killing very old or obese people.

UrsulaY · Answer

He side-stepped it, no? Certainly did not handle it.

Dongie · Answer

No I'm not and this time the back-stabbing Democrat voices would be silenced.

MikeTheGreek1979 · Answer

We won’t know about the next one, probably. I believe if the pandemic had been beaten, he would have taken credit for it.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

I thought he handled it quite well, despite all the bullshit we were fed about how there was no cure when there were actually several of them at your drug store!

Anonymous · Answer

The worst way anyone could have handled it. His downplaying caused thousands of needless deaths and billions of dollars of damage.

Anonymous · Answer

Did as well as any other leader Didn't go as far as ruining airports and massacring the infected like the left would have

Anonymous · Answer

He is responsible for the deaths of a lot of people because of the misinformation he kept spreading. He is a truly evil man.

Twalli · Answer

There won't be another one if this magnitude in this term. People know what to do now. We didn't last time because the pandemic before this one was in 1919.

beefcakebradybatson · Answer

He told his groupies to inject bleach, which many of these morons did, with predictable results.

Notherndude84 · Answer

He is responsible for the deaths of 1 million people. He is and was an unfit president

Anonymous · Answer

I would rate it as average. I mean, did any political leader really do a good job regarding covid? And no, I am not really worried about another Covid coming in the next four years. I could be wrong. Time will tell!
