"You force yourself to ignore everything Trump has built "

Well, he's rebuilt part of a fence, and he's built the debt better than anybody. He did the same with the unemployment numbers. He also built a highway from Midwestern farms to the Bureau of Government Handouts, paid for by US tax payers. I think he's also rebuilt Syria. His current project is building The Greatest Depression.

The U.S. was beset by denial and dysfunction as the coronavirus raged

By the time Donald Trump proclaimed himself a wartime president — and the coronavirus the enemy — the United States was already on course to see more of its people die than in the wars of Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq combined.

The country has adopted an array of wartime measures never employed collectively in U.S. history — banning incoming travelers from two continents, bringing commerce to a near-halt, enlisting industry to make emergency medical gear, and confining 230 million Americans to their homes in a desperate bid to survive an attack by an unseen adversary.

Despite these and other extreme steps, the United States will likely go down as the country that was supposedly best prepared to fight a pandemic but ended up catastrophically overmatched by the novel coronavirus, sustaining heavier casualties than any other nation.

It did not have to happen this way. Though not perfectly prepared, the United States had more expertise, resources, plans and epidemiological experience than dozens of countries that ultimately fared far better in fending off the virus...
