bighairymike: For whatever Trump did not do, it is worth remembering the damage the post Trump overreaction caused.
- tens, or perhaps hundreds of thousands, of mom and pop shops forced to close and many to never return again, family businesses carefully built for decades wiped out
Say what, now?
That wasn't post Trump, that was Trump, in 2020: By the beginning of April, 24 percent of small businesses had reported temporarily shutting down. By mid-May, more than 100,000 small businesses had closed permanently...
So, no, those closed family businesses were not post-Trump.
Trump's one significant success was the mRNA vaccines and he distanced himself from those when his rally audiences started booing him when he suggested they get vaccinated, so he told them to forgetaboutit... no need to get the jab if you don't wanna'. And masks smeared his make-up, so no masks for the manly man.
