Covid did that. No response at all would have led to more deaths. I don't support the guy but blaming him for deaths is bad logic.

Honestly, I'm not convinced that true. If Trump had done literally nothing - no tweeting, no public statements, nothing whatsoever - I think it might actually have been better for the US overall. Most of Trump's actions regarding the virus have actively made things worse, like speaking out against lockdown orders, falsely claiming the virus was totally under control and was no worse than the flu, disparaging mask wearing, etc.

As it was, the state governments still had to do most of the heavy lifting when it came to the pandemic and without Trump they wouldn't have had a president working to undermine them at every turn.

Of course, a halfways competent response to the virus would be eminently preferable to both, but that's kind of expecting too much from Trump...
