Trump's terrible response to COVID19 resulted in a daily thousand people dead for nearly three years, 10,000 a week at it's peak, almost a million in total.

His admin has also been accused many times of using terror tactics.

I think 20 years is long enough that political cartoonists can make 9/11 similes without worrying too much about pearl clutching.

Not really. "Conservative"/now far right media "entertainment" networks went wild for those 20+ years and managed to garner greater support for an ever further learning pro-fascist edge. It was overly effective for some and now it's a runaway train.
