    Disagree. Millions dead is nothing compared to attempting to destabilize the world’s most powerful democracy. That could lead to untold global suffering. Millions would have died of covid even if he had responded well (and had not axed the pandemic response thing back in like 2018). Trump’s response was bad, and he definitely had an impact, but not as much as you might think.

      Unironically true, millions of Americans would’ve died of covid under any realistic American president. There’s literally no circumstance in which an American leader puts forward actually good covid policy, and in which the American people actually follow said policy.
