How long will the Trump Trade go?

Tell mr. "hard" science how did he fail except for listening to Fauci et al

He didn't let the experts do their job. He had to be his narcissist self and talk the "science".
He was ambiguous in his Covid strategy. His support for vaccination was not clear leaving the unvaccinated to spread misinformation.
And he was the early ones to get Covid. Bad role model.

IMO - the folks that shut down our country (Dems) and the folks that shoved sick people into nursing homes (Dems), and the folks that forced citizens to be vaccinated with an untested vaccine (Dems) have MUCH more culpability WRT the Covid response than does DT.

Operative word being "uncertainty". No human to human transmission yet so do you vaccinate everybody in case they come in contact with an infected bird or cattle

Flu season is here. When someone gets infected with the flu virus and bird virus, it allows the bird virus to mutate such that there can be human to human transmission.
Let science be proactive instead of waiting for another pandemic scare.

So no scientific evidence that he "failed" just your biased uninformed opinion

Easy for you to retrospect and make your higher judgement.
Science was limited at that time and Public Health officials had to make the call. Politicians decide whether to implement the response.
I didn't think it was fair that I didn't get any tax refund checks.

It has already "mutated" or there would be no human cases. It could mutate into something that is transmissible from human to human or it could mutate into something less infectious to humans. It is the decision of the FDA and CDC whether or not to use the vaccine and so far they haven't. So if we have an outbreak whose fault will that be.

Science was not limited. It was a corona virus. There have been numerous corona viruses prior to covid-19 and most of them were respiratory and transmitted through the air. They knew that going in and still did stupid things like 6' social distancing that was pfa and making people stay indoors where infection was more likely to be transmitted from person to person. I had the same view at the beginning so it has nothing to do with "retrospect". But maybe because I was a real hard science major

With science background, we know how virus works and should know 6 feet distance was arbitrary set as a "safe" distance.
People want assurance and answer to be safe given limited knowledge of Covid.
Public Health officials can do so much. Politicians set the policies to tackle the problem.

He failed with Covid.

Only an idiot would think he had anything to do with Covid - the pros (Fauci) claimed 2 weeks to flatten the curve. Fauci lied. And Biden made it worse with all the lockdown nonsense. In case, you have not noticed, the economy has been on the decline for months. Companies shutting down, closing stores, and laying people off. Manufacturing has slowed, inventories are up, and interest rates have not fell to the extreme low levels (which BTW hurt not helped the economy) of the Covid nonsense.

We may well go into another shallow recession or, if you will a continuation of the on-going weak economy (why Ferdo has a problem with paying renters closing shop). A couple years ago, I said we a very shallow but much longer recession that seemed to be working out and I was right (for once.) We've seen weak growth since the Covid crisis receded. Mortgage demand is as much down over too high prices as much as it is down over too high interest rates. These rates are not high, in fact, are about average over the past 50 years. The huge run up in real estate prices (and cars for that matter) has seen sales go sluggish since 2022.

Nice try but I am guessing you hard science background was probably geography
