lol BS, two completely different issues, nobody had control over a virus such as COVID which was a GLOBAL pandemic not just a U.S. issue.
The ups and downs of an administration as a whole are what they'll forever be remembered for.
No matter how much it disturbs you to admit it, trump was a FAILURE as a leader when it came to his mishandling of the Covid-19 Pandemic, it was his mishandling which resulted in the country being plunged into a recession which began in February of 2020.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_recessions_in_the_United_StatesThe notation of the end date on this link is wrong, it claims the end date is April, 2024, which hasn't even happened, seeing as today's date is only March 4, 2024.
The correct end date is April 2020.

It was the trump administration which dismantled the department tasked with tracking infectious diseases around the world for early warning signs, redistributing the employees to multiple departments and locations, plus there were also key resignations when the dismantling occurred.

Three years into the trump administration, trump whined about a depleted Stockpile, rather than moving to rectify the shortages before the first case was diagnosed in the United States.
