Imagine if Trump had said this:

“There’s nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months.”

Then he would have told the truth, instead of giving millions of people the false impression that things were not as bad as they really were.

So you think Trump should have gone on TV last year and said 600k or more Americans would be dead within the next year or so and there was nothing to be done about it?  Creating widespread panic.  Until Trump's miracle vaccine is distributed, there is nothing much that can be done.  Lots of people are going to die.  Trump knew that and so did Biden and the Dems who were blaming him for the pandemic during the election cycle as though Trump failed to take some unspecified action and was responsible for the deaths.  Now Old Joe is acknowledging the reality that Trump faced all along.   But not a peep out of the media.  It would have been a firestorm under Trump that he was uncaring and not doing his job etc.

He could have said our death rate will be about number 20 worldwide in a year......but then he didn’t. How could he know that. He told his people what he thought would keep Wall Street from panicking. He thought he needed that to be re-elected. Of course he told Woodward much differently in private. Irony is Wall Street ignored him and actually performs better under Democrats.....if you're in doubt just ask your investment advisor. The big lie again. Does anyone here actually watch Fox News to be informed?

There you go again, trying to steer the conversation in the direction you want, by misrepresenting what I said. Nobody is talking about predicting numbers of death. But "it's going to get worse, before it gets better" is a hell of a lot more honest that "don't worry, it'll go away"!

Creating widespread panic. 

No, there was no need for that. But telling lies to give people a false sense of security and encourage them not to follow guidelines (mask wearing is voluntary) may will have resulted in a higher death toll. But, I suppose, that's ok with you, right?

Until Trump's miracle vaccine is distributed, there is nothing much that can be done.

There is no such thing as a "Trump's miracle vaccine". There are only about 10 different vaccines available now, and all Trump did was limit some red tape for one of them.

Trump knew that and so did Biden and the Dems who were blaming him for the pandemic during the election cycle as though Trump failed to take some unspecified action and was responsible for the deaths.

Of course Trump failed to act decisively and thus was responsible for a higher death rate. No question about it.

Now Old Joe is acknowledging the reality that Trump faced all along.   But not a peep out of the media. 

For crying out loud. The man has only been in office for a few days and has already told the people that things will get worse before they get better. The media has nothing to "peep" about.

It would have been a firestorm under Trump that he was uncaring and not doing his job etc.

But Trump was uncaring and not doing his job. That's what cost him the election!

So something Trump allegedly "considered" but never did might be a crime?  A "thought crime"! LOL  Orwell would be a proud.  You need a new hobby.  Trump is no longer president.

He attempted a coup and incited an insurrection. He called the Georgia Secretary of State on the phone to illegally overturn election results. That is a crime. You need a new hobby instead of covering up for the criminal.
