Yeah, this notion that Covid killed Trump's reelection chances no matter what is really just excusing him. He could have, I dunno, fucking handled it better by using his position to encourage people to listen to the science, practice social distancing, and wear masks. Instead, he visibly fought against these measures and ridiculed people who took them seriously (Joe Biden in the first debate).

His laundry list of absurd, unsubstantiated ramblings and assertions ("I think it'll disappear", "like a miracle", "affects virtually nobody") also haven't helped things. The guy just can't help himself from acting like a sleazy used car salesman. He can't EVER shut up and listen.

Covid wouldn't have guaranteed an election loss for Reagan, or Obama, or anyone who actually made the effort of acting like a responsible leader. Trump handled this... the way most of us expected him to, and that's on him, not the virus.

I think Trump's base might have disowned him if he took the pandemic seriously. Not entirely sure what the logic is there though.
