In many ways 9/11 and the C-19 Pandemic are similar

In both cases we had Republican Presidents who were warned about the upcoming problems and did nothing.

In many cases they blew off the warnings of the upcoming "problems" and or removed the people who
gave or could have given the administrations and the American people the needed warnings.

Thousands of Americans died because of the Trumps and w bush's lack of response to the warnings for
either C-19 or 9-11.

Trump response to the C-19 pandemic and w bush's response 9-11 cost 100s of thousands or even millions
of people their lives and made the problems much worse.

Trump tried to make money off of the pandemic (see Hydroxychloroquine and a different C-19 test kit) and
Dick Cheney made shit piles of money off of w's response to 9-11 (see Haliburton and KBR)

Both Trump and w bush lied their asses off about what they knew about C-19 and 9-11.

In both cases millions of brain dead Americans still voted either w bush or Trump despite their fuck ups.

In both cases it took Democratic Presidents to come in and try to clean up their messes.

But at the end of the day the only real question is what about Hillary's emails?

Approval ratings for George W Bush



Public opinion polling data from Gallup/USA Today from February 2001 to December 2007. Blue denotes "approve", red "disapprove", and green "unsure". Spikes in approval followed the September 11 attacks, the beginning of the 2003 Iraq War and the capture of Saddam Hussein.
