Things would have been very different. So many died because of the malfeasance of the previous administration.

on charges of having caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people?

For the rest of my life I will count drumpf among history's most egregious mass murderers.

He is clearly responsible. He knew in January, we know that from Bob Woodward's taped phone call, but nothing happened nationally to the middle of March. Trump turned the pandemic press conferences into campaign rallies and advocated taking Hydroxychloroquine and drinking bleach. He told people he knew more than the doctors and scientists and his "followers" believed him.
