Thank you for answering.
The problem is the further we get away from Feb/March the more people forget how much Trump downplayed the virus when it was clear what was going to happen. Heck, many folks here in TNCR were ringing the alarm bells. I even predicted 1 million cases by May 1 when there were only 2,000 and I was off by like one day.
We said it then, that these delays could be exponentially bad and that’s what we ended up seeing (and now displayed in the Columbia study). I refuse to forget the attitude Trump had toward the virus that most likely resulted in nearly 50,000 unnecessary deaths (according to the study).
As much as it’s hard to understand, none of this is driven by “hating Trump”. There are many things he did I like, both against COVID and in the previous 3 years. But I firmly standby that statement that his “downplay the virus” approach to COVID likely resulted in tens of thousands of deaths.

First, no we didn't know. You're using hindsight. Nancy Pelosi was on TV telling everyone not to worry, go to Chinatown to eat and shop. The news media was attacking Trump calling him xenophobic and racist. Lots of democrats and news media types were busy telling everyone to ignore Trump, everything was just fine. If you were acknowledging that I would come closer to buying your story. But you flat out ignore it, and jump right over it to toss rocks at Trump.

Can we just agree to disagree that I’m wrong?

I wish even a fraction of the energy used to go after Trump, would go after the Chinese CCP.
Trump didn't start the damn virus and try to cover it up.
THE CHINESE DID.But, I guess oh well, that's OK. No big deal, we don't want to be racist. Maybe the next virus that comes out of China, given their track record, we'll find even more evidence of what we did wrong, and we can apologize because that's what the progressives seem to focus upon.
Right anger, wrong target.

Oh he tried to cover it up alright. He made light of it for months while he was being warned by many experts that this shit was going to explode. "but the stock market! if it falls, I'm doomed. Let's just lie some more. It will die away with the warm weather." There is your nutshell of why he acted the way he did. I didn't much care for Hillary either, but you all stepped in the dog crap pulling the lever for this idiot.

Your response had absolutely nothing to do with what I posted. -

Then there is no reason to elect or change leaders of any country, is it? We're all on autopilot and nothing ever makes a difference.
Let me ask you, do you think President Obama did a good job with the economy?
I think Mr. Obama did a good job trying to sink 1/7 of it.
But in your scenario, it doesn't matter...Obama has little or no effect.

I never said that they have no effect, but I do think (like Xenon says better than I) that their effect is not as much as people think (and not as much as they themself think).
I do agree with your point that you make in a later post that the President can make people feel better about the economy and that can help (or hurt) the economy. (Hopefully I interpret your meaning correctly).
Maybe this is a bad example, but imagine that it is 15 C out.
For people who are in favor of President Trump, it is sunny, blue sky, puffy white clouds. Just seems like a nice day.
For people who are anti President Trump, it is still 15 C out, but it is gloomy and cloudy, there are dark clouds, etc.
One day feels better/worse than the other, but the reality is that it is the same day.

Pelosi of course made a big negative deal of Trump taking hydroxycloroquine.
Trump decided to stop taking it based on her advice, and is switching to botox as soon as she tells him about dosage.No kidding. It's a fact.

A bit like pro-lifers telling everybody to get back to damn work for the good of the many?
