And the leaders of the WORLD don't do stuff like cheering on protesters, handing out self-medication tips, blaming the WHO, the media or the political opponent, they do not accuse them of downplaying the threat and then of hoax-like overstating it, they do not suggest corona is way less deadly as claimed and will go away in the heat anyway, they do not lie about the number of cases, they took care about having testing available and in the meantime did not lie about everyone getting a test that needs one, and also they do not change their stance on a daily basis, they do not contradict their own medical experts, they don't phantazise about vaccines being available any moment, they do not blame long gone administrations for their failings, they wouldn't falsely claim they invoked some emergency act and it's already in place, they wouldn't accuse regional leaders of having death panels and lotteries, and they SURE AS HELL didn't imply medical staff around the nation are stealing medical equipment.
Say it again, if my chancellor would have acted like Trump in these times, he'd face the end of his political career. I'm positive the same thing could be said about other western European countries. Including the British guy. And that has nothing to with not being right at every turn, but everything to do with lieing, bodging, deflecting blame, showing utter incompetence and carelessly talking out of one's behind.
And if you were at least half as strict towards Trump as you are towards liberal posters, you'd probably had some issues with these things as well.
Are you sure the world is doing better? It seems some countries are doing better, and some worse. I don't think our death rate is anywhere near the bottom. Or the top. Whichever way you want to look at it. Is the Conte guy getting heat? They've got 1/6 the population of the US and half as many deaths. If you compare western Europe and Great Britain to the US how does it stack up in cases and deaths per million? Is the US way worse? It doesn’t mean you can’t still criticize Trump. Although it is odd that Cuomo gets so much praise after overseeing the Italy of the US.
