    Trump’s terrible response to COVID19 resulted in a daily thousand people dead for nearly three years, 10,000 a week at it’s peak, almost a million in total.

    His admin has also been accused many times of using terror tactics.

    I think 20 years is long enough that political cartoonists can make 9/11 similes without worrying too much about pearl clutching.
