Charby, you could at least put a little more effort into it ...
For all his many, many faults, Trump never shut down the country and by all appearances was terrified that lockdowns would trash the economy ... and more importantly his legacy. He did not handle the pandemic well and three years ago I was legitimately worried he was going to try to shut the US down, but that never happened.
The March 13 national emergency was to provide money to agencies like FEMA to provide medical supplies to states, allowed for flexibility in healthcare regulations, and so forth, and did not close states. It may have been a boondoggle, but it wasn't a lockdown.
On March 17, Trump asked people to avoid gatherings of more than 10 people, practice social distancing, and follow guidelines recommended by public health officials. This was not a "lockdown", although I'm sure it impacted some people's behavior. On balance I don't think I'd say it was the primary driving factor for economic collapse.
Signing the emergency spending bill to send people free money definitely allowed people to be lazy and stay home and I don't like it, but it wasn't some sort of lockdown order.
In March and April of 2020 he was encouraging states to reopen their economies as quickly as possible. His April 13th quote was in the context of having the authority to order reopenings, not closings. If your Trumpian lap dog of a governor were really trying to follow her master, I imagine she'd have dropped all COVID measures in April. Interesting that you are trying to use his desire to reopen states in April of 2020 to try to sell some nonsense about him wanting to close the US.
etc.
Later in 2020 (around when I got COVID despite doing all the stupid stuff that was supposed to keep me safe) he shifted and grudgingly said that some states might have to have lockdowns to slow the spread, but he didn't advocate it.
From the beginning COVID was terribly handled by Democrats and Republicans alike, but thankfully a few of us are old enough to remember what actually happened three years ago and this "Republicans shut the country down!" line is ... maybe a little inaccurate.
So exactly which pundits have sold you this story about "true believer" Republicans being just as bad as Democrats at unending lockdowns? Have your eyes just been so blinded by COVID bleeding that you can't see how ridiculously unbelievable these claims are, or do you just figure everyone else is going to be stupid enough to forget what happened three years ago, and have no way to fact check you?
