It was absolutely why Trump lost. The media pushed a relentless and largely baseless narrative that Trump failed to perform some yet unspecified act that resulted in the loss of 200K lives. The states used this as an excuse to change the voting laws to allow milliions of mail in ballots and that was the difference in the election. A straight up election would have resulted in a Trump landslide. They did this despite the CDC and Dr. Fauci (i.e. the "scientists") confirming it was entirely safe to vote in person. In fact, the CDC confirmed that even "people who test positive for the virus can still vote in person." The original CDC projections for the loss of life in the US due to the pandemic ranged from 100-200K with full mitigation. Approximately where the matter stands. Old Joe has propose nothing that has not already been done by Trump. Trump's messaging on the virus was awful but he took every possible action imaginable. Look at the state of many European countries today. They are having exactly the same issues - and as far as I know Trump is not in charge there. It is just another fake media narrative that was designed to influence the election. And it worked.
Still pushing the propaganda and disinformation even after Donald Trump lost?
You mean old Donald. He's 74 years old and 3 years younger than Biden in poor health. Biden jogs up to the stage and rides bikes. Donald Trump can't even walk down a ramp.
Donald Trump lied to every American about COVID19. He knew it was a deadly airborne virus when he admitted it to Bob Woodward on tape telling him he wanted to "always downplay the virus" but never informed Americans to save lives. Instead he called it a "hoax" and said it "will magically disappear" while he let 243K people die.
