As of late March, over 550,000 Americans had died from the virus, making the United States the hardest hit country on a raw number basis.

However, on a per capita basis, only 1,690.61 Americans had died per every million residents, placing the U.S. significantly lower than countries like Czechia where the per capital rate had eclipsed 2,400.

Moreover, thanks to the Trump administration’s willingness to do and spend anything to develop and distribute a vaccine, the United States was outperforming large chunks of the world, including nearly all of Europe.

“The Trump administration’s Operation Warp Speed didn’t worry about the cost of the vaccines or whether the vaccine companies could be held liable for side effects. The Europeans focused on trying to get a low price for the vaccines, and on making sure the  vaccine companies could be sued if the vaccines caused problems,” according to The Atlantic.

“The U.S. threw money at the problem, flooding vaccine makers with billions of dollars in subsidies to increase the speed of vaccine testing and manufacturing. Unlike the EU, the U.S. and the U.K. bought millions of doses of various vaccine candidates last summer, without knowing which ones would be effective.”

Months later, much of Europe was still under strict lockdown restrictions as the virus continued to rage, whereas in the United States life was finally returning to normal.

Had current President Joe Biden been in charge at the onset of the outbreak, the entire country would have likely been locked down for months on end.

Yet a year later, some of the best performing U.S. states were red ones like Florida that chose to abstain from locking down in accordance with Trump’s now-vindicated belief that the “cure” mustn’t “be worse than the problem.”

Thank you pres. trump for putting 22 million out of work last year.  For letting 400,000 americans die. For letting 50 million go hungry.  For letting 1 million poor kids from getting a meal at school.  For causing the working man to have to pay 90 billion more in federal tax.  For trying to steal an election and threats to elected officials if they did not overturn the election in their states.  For inciting a mob to attack the capitol and causing 5 people to die. For adding 10 trillion to the debt in just 3 years.  Yes thanks indeed.

Joe Biden's approval rating is falling faster than his pants at a Girl Scout Jamboree!

President Joe Biden’s job approval ratings are cratering as the border crisis escalates and concerns mount over his apparently deteriorating mental and physical fitness.

Monday’s daily Presidential Tracking Poll by Rasmussen Reports found that 49 percent of likely voters disapprove of the job Biden is doing, while 49 percent approve.

Daily tracking polls are compiled using nightly phone surveys of 500 likely voters.
