Why don't YOU post something and ask me to refute it. Because you're lying....you're not waiting on me to do anything of the sort.

Great "rant".

Now. Learn to read.

From my post.

Any president would be challenged. But studies like the Lancet Commission Report estimated that roughly 40% of U.S. COVID-19 deaths could have been averted if the country matched the lower per-capita death rates of other peer industrialized nations.

More from the study:

Trump exploited low and middle-income white people's anger over their deteriorating life prospects to mobilise racial animus and xenophobia and enlist their support for policies that benefit high-income people and corporations and threaten health. His signature legislative achievement, a trillion-dollar tax cut for corporations and high-income individuals, opened a budget hole that he used to justify cutting food subsidies and health care.

His appeals to racism, nativism, and religious bigotry have emboldened white nationalists and vigilantes, and encouraged police violence and, at the end of his term in office, insurrection. He chose judges for US courts who are dismissive of affirmative action and reproductive, labour, civil, and voting rights; ordered the mass detention of immigrants in hazardous conditions; and promulgated regulations that reduce access to abortion and contraception in the USA and globally. Although his effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act failed, he weakened its coverage and increased the number of uninsured people by 23 million, even before the mass dislocation of the COVID-19 pandemic, and has accelerated the privatisation of government health programmes.

Trump's hostility to environmental regulations has already worsened pollution"resulting in more than 22000 extra deaths in 2019 alone"hastened global warming, and despoiled national monuments and lands sacred to Native people. Disdain for science and cuts to global health programmes and public health agencies have impeded the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, causing tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths, and imperil advances against HIV and other diseases. And Trump's bellicose trade, defence, and foreign policies have led to economic disruption and threaten an upswing in armed conflict.

It goes on and on but you think me listing facts from a study is "ranting". So I'm done.
