Politically how badly did trump handle the COVID pandemic?

Pretty badly!

Virus versus Trump. Virus is the reigning champion!

Who would have thought the super powers health system was so utterly inadequate!

Or the vaccine distributors and manufacturers would demand and be given legal indemnity, in the event their vaccine doesn't agree with the recipient!

All in all win win for them! Without a down side! Tax payer funded research. A patent to milk maximum profits! 

And with the threat of "vaccine passport" in order to live a normal life , kerching for them!

As for Trump he's the only game in town. As republicans lack his clout! 

Trump is said to retain his vice like grip over the republican party, meaning it's being said he'll run in 2024. His die hard followers are still staunchly behind him!

Simply put they hate the identity politics on offer by the democrats.

They love their guns, only believe in either male or female gender. Marriage only between a male and a female for the purposes of breeding. 

All in all the way things used to be!

And given Biden will fail, expect a Trump sequel. If Biden follows in Obama's and Bill Clinton's footsteps fail he will! Since they serve the 1%.

War mongering will benefit! 

Arms sales to dodgy repressive regimes will continue.

Surveillance akin to Soviet union will be enacted under guise of "domestic terrorism".

All that legislation put in place post 9/11 was only going to escalate. It's just say too good to repeal!

The decline of American power will continue to erode.All in all the wealth transfer will continue, from the bottom to the top 1%, and mass inequity of wealth will make the American system unstable.

Trump ignored the threat of the chrona virus. Not altogether surprising, as many of the politicians had a lucrative share holding to offload before the selling price plummeted! 

Being already minted didn't mean safeguarding the health of others! It was more imperative to cash in the profits before coming clean about the virus. Even then it was a half hearted effort.Which in the long run backfired!

Had Trumps followers voted by post like the democrats, which the democrats claim  is the reason they won, who knows......

He killed seniors, his top base.  The Republican party should go extinct.

That is liberal rhetoric, not fact. (It's a lie)

It was the best way and they still are doing that's now.
