I'm confident that covid would not have become a pandemic under any other US president. Covid happened under trmp's "watch" because he ignorantly tossed away the tools that we had to monitor and/ or significantly suppress the proliferation of deadly viruses/bacteria. On top of that, he lied repeatedly and peddled disinformation to his followers, making the situation 10 times worse. I'm so grateful he was voted out in spite of the pass he was given. Over 1 million Americans dead!
