Trump screwed the US so bad. Gonna take decades to recover from his shit.

Plandemic you idiots

Trump’s to blame!!!

But we still send billions overseas each year

“Former President Donald Trump's go-it-alone trade policies hurt foreign investment” Apparently elections do have consequences

Thanks, Trump.

You had me until you said superior handling. Like not letting foreignors in and not blasting numbers on the media daily? Or fake masks?

If the U.S. really emulated “China’s superior management of the pandemic” then cnn and the rest of the MSM wouldn’t have a clue about what is really going on with the pandemic in our country! I’ve lived in China - you know only what they want you to know.

Let Biden hit the ground running now..... That's all.

If this is happening to the US, can someone imagine the damage that's been made to developing countries such as Brazil, which also has the worst president in dealing with the pandemics?!

I thought America would get tired of winning under Trump? Are you guys tired yet? He was going to het soo tough on big mean China to save the US? What happened GOP and right wingers?

45 is a curse that keeps giving. GOP worried about money is a cruel joke after what they let happen on their watch! 😡

Everytime we(usa/Dems) fix a prob, R's mess things up again & it takes another Democrat potus 4 yrs to clean it up. Rs priorities are not in best interest of America.

“Superior management” being some information suppression and a cost-benefit analysis that chose sacrificing many lives to keep the economy open. U.S. news is such BS

“With Americans turning their back on fake news, CNN has turned to Chinese propaganda.”
