Trump did not handle the pandemic well, I dont think you have to say he did to still support him either. He's also radical, and I think that's objective.

I keep seeing this but nobody provides their expect opinion on how it could have been handled better... I mean pretty much shutting down the country and banning all travel from China seemed like a pretty strong approach to me. The democrats called him racist for banning travel from China. Their original estimate was 2 million dead and we are at only 200kish~ (which is still high but comparatively only 10% of the original estimate.. seems pretty good tbh)? So if the democrats were in power during the original outbreak they wouldn't of banned travel from China and it most likely would have been much worse.
It's also far more nuanced that people make it seem. Like trump had the power to make 100% of the decisions. Newsflash the president is a powerful position, but they are not an emporer. There are hundreds.. thousands of people in postions in various cabinets and agencies that made seperate decisions which all affected the outcome of the pandemic. Its not all on trumps shoulder like the liberal media is conveniently making it seem for political purposes and to paint a narrative that sheep are eating up.
I'm not necessarily a trump supporter (and damn sure not a biden supporter) but if you look at it objectively he really did about the best anybody could have done in that position short of declaring martial law and shitting all over constitutional rights and amendments and basically making it illegal to leave your home for months, which would have done WAY more damage to the country than covid already has. It's also been proven that covid death numbers have been inflated artificially and anybody who died that tested positive for covid was listed as a covid death even if they died of heart disease or other pre-existing medical problems (that are not an effect of covid)
Again I'm not a huge fan of trump, there were far better candidates on the republican and democratic side, but when I see political discussions on trump like 95% of the negative comments and opinions about him are regurgitated talking points heard on CNN or other liberal media outlets and when you actually research it are completely wrong or taken out of context or skewed. A really good example is the "fine people on both sides" narrative that was spewed for months claiming Trump was "supporting white supremacy". That shit was regurgitated for months.. and still is but when I finally went and watched the whole clip with all the context I was literally disgusted at how easily media is able to influence millions of sheep who get all their "facts" from liberal media and do 0% research before they run around screaming at conservatives spewing vitriol and insults using these so called "facts" as their argument.
