Compared to the tens of thousands of people who've needlessly died because of Donald J. Trump's preoccupation with... Donald J. Trump, gimme Pelosi's stupid hair escapade any day.

Yeah, you got a point. If Trump would have just (fill in the blank) there would have been (fill in the blank) lives saved.
Now please fill in the blanks.
If Trump would have recognized and acknowledged the pandemic threat and instituted a National Response Plan and worked cooperatively with states to invoke and enforce lockdowns, there would have been 36,000 lives saved in the first 3 months of the pandemic alone.
Lockdown Delays Cost at Least 36,000 Lives, Data Show
Even small differences in timing would have prevented the worst exponential growth, which by April had subsumed New York City, New Orleans and other major cities, researchers found.

The President doesn't have the power to enact or enforce lockdowns. If you remember, Trump banned travel from China, was called a xenophobe and had Dem lawmakers out telling people to come to their cities/states that it was safe. Trump also floated the idea of banning travel in and out of the northeast and, yep you guessed it, those governors quickly pitched a hissy fit BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T HAVE THE POWER TO DO THAT.
It's really amazing how you guys twist easily verifiable recent history.
Please let me know what Trump could have done differently and how many of those lives it would have saved.Compared to the tens of thousands of people who've needlessly died because of Donald J. Trump's preoccupation with... Donald J. Trump, gimme Pelosi's stupid hair escapade any day.

He did. He sent them all the supplies and help they requested.
Are you suggesting he should have sent the military in to keep us locked in our homes?
Longtime Climate Science Denier Hired At NOAAI'm sure the Brownshirts in the 1930s had a similar anti-science sentiment.
Very closed-minded thinking of you, Hog. Kudos!
No, there's a thing called "working cooperatively". Trump antagonizes Dem states like a child. There's plenty he could have done, but I'm sure you don't (or can't) get that.

He could have been a leader during a national crisis. He pretty much could have done his job. He could have tried to united the country with a shared goal of stopping the spread knowing it was airborne but instead he was seeking a political victory by boasting about a trade deal with China. Obviously he was well informed about the virus from his advisors but instead of passing this on to the public or trying to make policy to deal with the spread he did nothing. Democrat hoax and China lied being the rallying call if I remember correctly.You keep saying that there was plenty he could have done yet you haven’t been able to name one thing he could have done.
