Did Trump kill 400,000? This video is a few months old but many of the points still stand.
Is Trump responsible for the high US coronavirus numbers? There have been at least 200,000 covid-19 deaths and Trump has made some mistakes such as downplaying the pandemic and cut the coronavirus response team. But is Trump actually to blame for the high coronavirus numbers? Well not exactly. Why does the US have a high unemployment rate compared to other countries? And how does Andrew Cuomo fit into all of this?
