2016 was worse for America than 9/11.

Yes. Trump's failure during Covid was killing a 9/11's worth of Americans weekly.

Trump was already responsible for one 9/11's worth of American deaths when he refused to send aid after Hurricane Maria. Then COVID happened.

Jr Bush/ Cheney laid an awful lot of the groundwork for Trunk One’s malevolence

As did Reagan and Bush I. And for that matter, a lot of their people cut their teeth under Nixon. Some cancers take a long time to grow.
