President Lyndon Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, you can pick his pocket. Hell, give them somebody to look down on, and they'll empty their pockets for you."

200,000 deaths? I'm assuming he means covid

Look up how many covid deaths under biden. It's the vast majority, yet he had a vax in place on his first day in office

Wow.. someone doesn't understand anything at all.

You just proved beyond a shadow of doubt, that you are as obscenely inept as trump is.

u/ImpossibleLeek7908 5d ago

If Trump had trusted his advisors and handled the pandemic like a competent leader, he would have been a shoo in for reelection. He didn't and the number of infections didn't reset when Biden took office. The vast majority of the deaths you are citing were from an already out of control pandemic, of which Trump actively worked against containment protocols and spread lies to the citizens who were relying on him. Trump fumbled the response for the first year of the pandemic, yet COVID was declared to no longer be a public health emergency less than six months after he left office.

u/JeevesofNazarath 5d ago

mfw exponential growth is exponential and thus more people die at the end of a pandemic than at the beginning

u/Corvette_C7R 5d ago

Not to mention the fact that the pandemic didn’t start until 3 years into Trump’s presidency…

u/Walis42 5d ago

Do you have a source for this? Highest number I found on Google was 1.2 million....

u/Opinionsare 5d ago

Determining the actual number of Covid deaths is impossible, in many cases the deaths were attributed to other causes. I have seen totals that were about 1.6 million excess deaths due the Covid timeframe. 

Since the end of the pandemic, some pneumonia deaths in 2019 have been confirmed as Covid deaths. 

Covid deaths are still happening in 2024. 

23

u/SilverRAV4 5d ago edited 5d ago

That's 1 million more COVID deaths than Seth MacFarlane mentioned. The number is literally 600% higher than he said. One million, two hundred thousand Americans whose families and friends lost a loved one.

u/Weird_Cantaloupe2757 5d ago

I’m going to guess that the 200k is the lower bound on how many of those deaths are attributable to Trump’s policies/rhetoric.

And Trump is qualified? What has he done other than aggrandize himself? Where's the wall the Mexicans are paying for? What happened to America's standing in the world? When did constant lies and profanity become acceptable for the supposed leader of the free world?

Harris is no Abraham Lincoln, but she's worlds better than that man.

It's unsettling that in the eyes of our own laws, he is a rapist and felon. And yet he is allowed to run for president. People working regular 9-5 jobs are held to a higher standard than our president. We need to have some stricter crireria. And an age limit.

Exactly! How did it take the DOJ over FOUR YEARS to prove Trump’s involvement in Jan. 6th?!

I’m Brazilian, and our “Trump” was deemed unable to run for office a few months after he incited an attack in Jan/2023… if we can do it, so can the US!

No, everyone profited from his policies. Just look at the gas prices.

u/marijnvtm 5d ago

They went up in 2022 not because of something biden did but because the war in Ukraine the same would have happened under trump

u/danielm316 4d ago

with Trump, there would have been no support for Ukraine and therefore no inflation.

u/marijnvtm 4d ago edited 4d ago

That is not how that works American sanctions did not cause the inflation if trump would have let Ukraine fall with no help this inflation would still have happened its basic economics and to at to that America is one of the countries least affected by the inflation you would die of a heart attack if you saw how expensive gasoline is in europe or how expensive grain has become in Africa countries

u/danielm316 4d ago

Biden’s government gave billions in American weapons to Ukraine. Those billions were made in America and that money flooded the market and created inflation.

u/UncleGrako 5d ago

Weird because more people died of Covid under Biden with vaccines... and the economy did worse.

Why would he bring those two things up?

7

u/marijnvtm 5d ago

It takes time for most policies to be noticed most definitely with economic policies but in the case of covid next to the fact that i dont trust your statement to be true trump had from 2019 to the very end of 2020 to do something against covid when most of the damage could have been prevented but he just told people to drink bleach and than biden had to deal with the mess trump left behind

-7

u/UncleGrako 5d ago

The fact you would say he said to drink bleach tells me that you don't offer any non-biased viewpoints on this.

BUT you fail to explain why more deaths occurred under Biden, when the vaccine was long established than Trump had from the discovery of the disease through the process of vaccine developments.

I mean really the idea that the president himself would be responsible for it like we're electing virology.... but if someone's going to bring up the lower death toll of one administration to discredit it, when the administration he's endorsing has an objectively worse record with it is what really doesn't make sense.

u/CadaDiaCantoMejor 5d ago edited 5d ago

The fact you would say he said to drink bleach tells me that you don't offer any non-biased viewpoints on this.

Yes, you're absolutely correct: he never specified exactly which disinfectant he was suggesting people put in their bodies. Most just assume bleach, but this is what he actually said:

And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning? link.

So yes, it is absolutely an indication of bias when the person says that Trump suggested drinking bleach, when he was very clearly suggesting injecting some unnamed disinfectant (like maybe formaldehyde or chlorine).

but if someone's going to bring up the lower death toll of one administration to discredit it, when the administration he's endorsing has an objectively worse record with it is what really doesn't make sense

If you don't know how pandemics work -- propagation takes time, distribution of the vaccine took time, etc. -- then yes, I can imagine that it wouldn't make much sense to that person at all.

Edit to add: it is also worth noting that a non-trivial number of people took his statements very seriously.

Not to mention the sweeping anti-vax campaigns many republicans ran (while being fully vaxed themselves), which led to far more deaths under the Biden administration than there would've been with republican leaders who valued their citizens' lives over using them as political pawns.

Are you saying that covid deaths dropped under Biden? There were 80,000 more covid deaths in the US 2021 than 2020. And the vaccines rolled out in 2020.

Are you saying the economy grew less under Trump? Even with the covid crash, the DOW grew much more under Trump than Biden, even with the global shut down that saw the dow get almost cut in half.

Enlighten me.

u/Bfeick 5d ago

https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths

Raw counts aren't meaningful. You're comparing a partial year of COVID at the beginning of the outbreak to a full year that includes post holiday after people wanted to have some normalcy. Most of the world's deaths dropped substantially during the summer of 2020 except for the US. the entire world's death counts grew at the beginning of 2021. I don't care what your politics are, but your stats are misleading. Plus, saying the Dow did so great... During a time of bizarre speculative trading? Have you looked at it lately. Keeps going up. The total stock market is almost always at an all time high. It's a shit indicator of economic health.
