I am only concerned with the public health policy and the outcomes, not parsing the degree of negligence or political expediency. Of course it is easy to say that Trump's handling of the pandemic or immigration was "worse" than Biden's, but due to the extreme degree of Trump's ignorance that relativism is irrelevant. Biden can be bad and Trump can be awful, it is not a binary choice of one "good" and one "evil." Unless of course your vested interests are enmeshed with those of the defense industry, Wall Street, the health care conglomerates or the Democratic Party. And what the leader of the free world says does indeed have consequences: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/sep/19/biden-says-covid-pandemic-is-over-despite-us-daily-death-toll-in-the-hundreds
