No country went unaffected by Covid.

Without Covid, there would not have been a huge job loss during Trump's last term. This isn't "defending" Trump, its a simple fact. Hell, most people agree Trump would have likely won re-election if not for Covid.

The only thing that would have resulted in fewer deaths would have been a China-style lockdown, which would have resulted in exponentially more jobs being lost. Then Trump would be blamed for that.

Democrats trying to compare "job losses due to Covid in Trump's fourth year" to a Covid-free four years of Biden makes no sense and is grasping. Say what you will about Katie Tur, but all she did was state a fact that makes trying to compare economies during Trump year 4 vs All Four Years of Biden silly at best.
