They're self proclaimed patriots that do everything they can to ruin their country, self proclaimed Christians that do the exact opposite of everything their religion prescribes and they claim to be "pro-life" but all their political positions are designed to get people killed. They have nothing but lies.
Well, as a former political official, he is among them. It's also a bad look to say this because the president has to work with other politicians. If you are an independent or reasonable republican, please vote against him in the primary. Vote for maybe Tim Scott or Nikki Haley or the North Dakota guy or the mayor of Miami. Off the top of my head, they seem milder in bigotry and tyranny. They still are a little bigoted and tyrannical, but not at Trump, DeSantis, or Pence's level.
Trump is always projecting, it's crazy there are still people who actually support him.
He's a pervert who wants to have sex with his daughter, he's a thug who uses illegal methods in business, and tried to overthrow a democratic election.
How is this guy not in jail yet? The claim that the law is equal to all Americans is a joke.
Republicans protect him, that's why. They know he's corrupt but they have to protect him to protect their own political careers. The Republicans that have spoken out against him haven't faired too well.
I know my perspective is different due to living in Colorado. I couldn't imagine the hellscape that Florida, Texas, or Oklahoma are and I feel sorry for all those stuck in those places.
This isn't wrong, but is just such an understatement. He did pretty much the opposite of what he should've in every way. He handled it poorly on purpose in an attempt to hurt Democrats, and politicized it at every point to try and rile up his base. He turned what should've been a unifying crisis in this country into a chasm wide political divide we won't be healing from any time soon. The only thing he arguably did right was to push getting vaccines out as soon as possible, which he obviously only did for his own ego.

Exactly this. He saw that COVID was hitting New York hard and decided to not do anything because New York didn't vote for him. As it hit blue states (which were more urban) hard and didn't hit rural red states as badly, he refused to use federal funds to buy needed PPE. Blue states bought their own PPE with their own money and Trump had it confiscated to be redistributed to red states. It got so bad that some states had to sneak PPE in during the middle of the night as if they were smuggling in drugs.
Trump tried to hurt blue states for not voting for him. He was willing to let people die because they didn't support him politically.
Given everything else he did and how presidents are given so much leeway with their actions, I doubt he'll ever be found criminally liable, but he absolutely is responsible for many, many deaths.
His administration funded development. As for distribution, they did jack all. Biden's people came in, asked what the logistics plan was and there was none. One had to be put together at the last minute.
We're a third world? Great. Let's take our weakest metrects such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure and model policies based on first world countries.
Well, there are plenty of perverts and thugs among the Republicans in Congress and the Republicans in state governments. So Trump is kind of right there.
He can be a hypocrite and correct at the same time. The dude sucks but this country has been going down hill for a long time. Trumpism is just one of the later reasons why this country is folding like a lawn chair. With that said even if he didn’t exist things wouldn’t be any different.
What you see today is the culmination of thugs running the show for the last century. It won’t get better.
