That was a good article I had seen before. What is critical is that the people learn that it is Trump's policies, and his Party's, that are the real problem with America. Some Republicans need to get past the idea that Trump had "accomplishments." He did not. Almost everything he did is destructive. Biden is correcting a lot of it. The voters will need to support this in Nov.2022.
It is to be noted that Trump's failure on the coronavirus was due to his neo-liberal trickle-down philosophy. Advocates of this, like Classic Xer, say that if Trump had developed a federal plan that could have reduced the virus' spread and resulting deaths, that would have been autocratic. Trump just let the states and localities handle it, who have no funds or budgeting ability to do so, and have no ability to invoke the National War Production Act for emergency needs. The result was chaos, with states competing for scarce PPE and other resources. In our system, only the federal government can borrow the money as needed to meet a crisis or issue emergency declarations like the NWPA. Trump just ignored this fact, even though he borrowed heavily to do such unnecessary things as rebuilding the military and building a wall.
