What Trump understood very early on was that the lockdowns would cost the US huge amounts of money. He said it.

And even when this Covid **** will become an endemic this year, the other scars that will be left behind may never heal. I'm talking about the lockdowns on school children with remote learning mandated. I'm also talking about the distrust of the selfish school unions who showed their lack of caring with what they did. The use of an epidemic to replace sensible voting laws with ways to steal elections. And last but not least, the decisions to give away money for people to stay home and not work and which helped cause the rising inflation and the costs to manufacture products.
These and other crap things were the fault of the little dictators which arose from out of nowhere to screw the AMerican people.
