No, countries that did well with the first wave helped to dampen the second - Trump, from the beginning, in public, consistently underplayed the seriousness of the virus, though in private he admitted it was bad news - remember, it would be gone "by Easter" etc. and he consistently pooh-poohed masks, mocking Biden wearing one He could have used the DPA to ramp up the production of PPE enormously - by concentrating on masks instead of ventilators many lived could have been saved - I said early on what a shame it would be if we had to ration ventilators because we rationed masks. As someone said - if Trump had told his followers it was "Patriotic" to wear a mask and consistently modeled that behavior, many could have been saved - again, look at Taiwan, e.g.
And when Mr Macho got sick, and apparently he was sicker than was let on - he got whisked off in a helicopter to a mil. hospital, got all the best Rx - then came back, whipped off his mask on the WH balcony and with a big grin said "See, it's fine" (he was probably on a steroid high at the time - dexamethasone) Rx that were not available to the public.
I'll give him credit for Operation Warp Speed - got a vaccine developed but no plan for its delivery and distribution.
Sorry - when the chips were down, he failed miserably to "take care of the people" I thought Russiagate was indeed a farce and that Ukraine bit may well have deserved a censure (Gabbard, I think, suggested that) but Impeachment? Naw. I do think he deserved impeachment for his handling of the corona virus - "reckless endangerment and disregard for human life"
I think he, and many others, know that if it hadn't been for Corona, he would have been re-elected ...
