Trump scores a ‘victory’

President Donald Trump has made no secret he’s obsessed with beating, or undoing, every accomplishment former President Barack Obama reached, or set, during his eight years in office. Soon after being inaugurated, Trump started his strange behavior by claiming his inauguration crowd was bigger than Obama’s — even though pictures clearly showed large gaps of people for Trump ceremony, whereas those areas were full of celebrants for Obama’s ceremony.

Unfortunately for America, Trump has continued on his outlandish course for over 3 years and 10 months. The fact is Trump has beaten Obama in an area Trump stated “I take no responsibility” for — and that is having at least 285,000 Americans dying so far so far from the COVID-19 virus during his presidency, compared to a total of 12,400 Americans, or a miniscule 4.4% of Trump’s record number, who died in 2009 from the Swine Flu/H1N1 virus during the Obama presidency.

Trump earns credit for beating Obama by having his COVID-19 virus costing $3-$4 trillion in economic damages so far, while Obama requested emergency funding, totaling $7.65 billion, from Congress, just 2 days after the Swine Flu was first detected in the first 20 Americans, and before any Americas had died from that flu.

So, President Trump, you have accomplished your goal of beating President Obama — too bad it has taken the lives of at least 273,000 more Americans, and $3.993 trillion more in precious tax money to get your virus under control than it took the team of Barack Obama and Joe Biden to get their virus under control.
