It's holy writ here that Trump is responsible for the entire American pandemic.  It is clear that Obama's team would have handled it perfectly, just as they handled the H1N1 pandemic perfectly...

My first reaction was a chuckle, and a distant memory of a phrase from (I think) cartoons: "Them's fighting words." Said by whom? Yosemite Sam? Mick, nobody could say you shied away from a fight.

I respectfully disagree with the premise.

• "... that Trump is responsible for the entire American pandemic." I'd say no, the general agreement of the majority here is that Trump is responsible for mismanagement that made it much worse. For most of the difference between our 4% of the world's population and 25% of its covid cases and covid deaths.
  
• "... that Obama's team would have handled it perfectly." I'd say no, the general agreement is that Obama's team would have handled it way better. Would have made national interest the top priority. Would have put the scientists in front, and would have listened to them. Would have called for unity, not division.
