There was enough non-compliance that I don't really think what he did or didn't do made much difference
One of us is delusional then, and I don’t think it’s me. Trump was the original, the loudest, the lyingest and most perpetual denyer of COVID’s virulence and lethality as well as the effectiveness and safety of vaccines and masks. He fucking CELEBRATED fucking “COVID parties”. He popularized anti-vax nonsense. He encouraged “non-compliance” and stupid behavior.
Worldwide he is likely responsible for many millions of deaths.
We did survive Trump 1.0 but we didn’t “come out fine”.
