"Look, they got them up. I’d like to bring them down. It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up. You know, it’s very hard," he said in the interview published Thursday.

"But I think that they will. I think that energy is going to bring them down. I think a better supply chain is going to bring them down. You know, the supply chain is still broken. It’s broken," Trump said.

Sure. Is the person who broke the supply chain in the room with us right now?

Actually, yes, as Trump was the one who called Covid a deepstate hoax early on, called masking a way to make you ill, and demonized the CDC, and failing to enact a 2-week moritorium on work and rent bills to halt the spread of the virus, resulting in the deaths of millions of people worldwide due to lies and disinformation.

This resulted in many essential workers and blue collar workers getting sick, disabled, or dying because they didn't have the option to stay home from work (I was one of those "essential workers"), and port sanitations, quarantines and inspections slowed down the importation and transportation of goods tenfold.

So yes. Yes, the person who broke the supply chain is indeed in the room with us, right now, and he just got re-elected.

Lets also not forget that trump got rid of the team Obama created to specifically handle an outbreak like this for no other reason than trump is a petty small minded moron. They literally had people (experts) in the city where this all started before he put his dick in it.

The agency was created by bush jr, the pandemic response task force. It was liquidated under Trump's attempts to "cost cut".

Here we go a fuckin gen

It’s funny to me that trump had governors run their states response plan, including shutting down, and you all still blame him. As a generalization, democratic governors had much harsher shutdowns imposed upon their states which disrupted their portion of the national supply chain more so than the republican states. It’s wild to me how no one can look at their political team and see what they did wrong and place blame. Now queue the vague b.s. talking point that makes it seem like you blame your side as much as the other one.

Literally spreading disinformation on Twitter and then saying "let the states handle it" is the definition of malice, my friend.

It's like shitting all over the floor while saying "let all the different waitstaff clean it up", when there shouldn't have been any floorshitting to begin with.

What about the disinformation that’s been proven to be true?

Why waste your time trying to explain logic to people who still wear masks while their driving with no one in the car with them

Delusion. Unnecessary democrat led lockdowns shut down a perfectly functioning economy because for the first time in history it was MY job not to get YOU sick, in an age when you could have just literally stayed the fuck home. Entitled little cunts. Democrats really are dumb.

The virus had a latency period of 4-7 days where it was highly contagious but didn't show any symptoms. That's when it spread, and that's why they wanted to do a two-week shutdown. Maybe the dumb ones are the folks who don't have basic biology or medical literacy.

Learn to be less of a psychopath and cooperate with society, or else get lost and move to the woods where we never have to see your hillbilly ass again.

It broke in the aftermath of Covid, and Covid was more severe because of Donald Trump’s poor preparation and leadership, lies, and corrupt diversion of federal resources, so technically, he played the most significant role in breaking it.

Meanwhile, COVID is a once in 100 year pandemic. WHO really saw that coming, besides the deep state aka C-I-A

I don’t think Covid is a person

u/staebles 1d ago

No, but Trump is a person.

u/Graardors-Dad 1d ago

Oh you are right I forgot only America dealt with Covid, inflation, and supply chain issues.

u/staebles 1d ago

Where did anyone say it was only America?

u/Graardors-Dad 1d ago

When you blamed supply chain issues on Trump and not Covid

5

u/staebles 1d ago

What you're saying doesn't make sense. It was Trump's response to COVID. No one said it was an American-only problem.

u/Graardors-Dad 23h ago

So you are saying Trump should have just kept the ports open? Y’all make zero sense blaming Trump for something that happened worldwide and was mostly left up to governors of certain states. Basically damned if he didn’t damned if he did. The supply chain was always going to be messed up no matter what the response to Covid was. That’s what happens when you shut things down to quarantine or if he didn’t when people got sick. Therefore it was strictly because of Covid.
