Trump resisted this and only put out guidelines based on so-called experts like Tony "MIA" Fauci (because he's become a political liability to the DemTards) who ignored 100 years of ... SCIENCE that mass shutdowns/lockdowns don't work.The question was who shut down our economy...Trump was the one responsible. Trump was the ultimate decider.
the real question should be .. is Fauci incompetent or complicit? Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

You don't want government mandates enforced?
Would that include speeding?
Burglary?
Murder?
You just want the fucking government to recommend we not do these things but have no enforcement mechanism if we do?
How God damn stupid is that?
How effective do you think that will be?

The answer is yes.
The question wasn't if he wanted to shut it down. Nobody wanted to shutdown the economy. Jesus. Originally Posted by WTF
DeSantis criticized members of the administration’s COVID-19 response team, including Anthony Fauci, for encouraging economic shutdowns at the beginning of the pandemic.all he can do is advise the governors.
DeSantis’s state of Florida followed federal guidance nonetheless by closing schools, gyms, restaurants and other buildings.
you do know the difference between guidance and a order/mandate don't ya?

The question was not a moral one but a factual one.
Was Trump responsible for shutting down our economy? That is an emphatic YES.
Now ir you'd like to debate the if "shutdowns are good or bad"...that is a different subject.
Jesus, you're starting to lie worse than Trump.
The problem with you Trump/Reagan worshipers is that you have erroneous facts. Tax cuts do not always produce more tax revenue , Trump not Fauci shut down our economy and Trump is no more responsible for energy independence than Joe Biden.
A belief system built on erroneous information can be dangerous.
It can lead to an invasion of Iraq , of which LexusLover still believes in yellowcake. It can lead to a political party losing it's way and and increasing spending and cutting taxes. That idiotic belief is catching up though and the yen is in play for the purchase of oil. Originally Posted by WTF
