The former was not only bad in and of itself, but exacerbated the latter in the US.

The pandemic wouldn't have hit us nearly as hard if Trump didn't literally throw away the instructions on how to handle it.

Covid is a global event so it's more impactful.
On the other hand, Trump is supposed to be a local event but his election leads to the rise of Alt right ideology in there whole world and it left more lasting damage than Covid

They are eternally linked events due to his absolutely moronic response. If the pandemic had started during another presidency, it'd be easier to judge them individually, at least from an American perspective instead of a global one.

Covid is here to stay. It will never be old news.

Both these events are going to have long lasting worldwide consequences so its pretty much impossible to say which is worse.

Covid. Trump had an impact, but to believe that it was bigger than covid would require a very ethnocentric world view.

Trump had little to do with that, those elements were already there and preceded Trump. People like Geert Wilders have been fanning those flames for decades already.

Covid. It's here to stay and there's no telling what the long term consequences could be.

Had anyone other than Trump been president, COVID-19, would have been nowhere as severe as it was. Then there's all the other bad things Trump and his movement caused. Honestly if the only thing that prevented a second Trump term were the severity of the pandemic, I'm thankful it did.

Scenes from where people were dumped to die outside hospitals. Brazil still in problems because they didn't listen. Every country worldwide having to respond to this virus that couldn't be voted out, that respected no borders. It didn't care who it destroyed. Now people quickly forget the devastation, but there is always potential for a deadlier wave.

Talking about Coronavirus obviously. But you probably couldn't tell

Covid killed a lot of people, its something well have to live with, caused people to spread a narrative against the vaccine furthering it along, raised housing prices, raised retro video game prices, and raised the cost of general items.

Trump divided the country and brought out the worst in people in politics and the general population thats carried to this day. The good thing is there will be an end game eventually with Trump and other corrupt politicians going to jail, the possibility of the Republican Party ending one day, and itll certainly slowly stop future generations from voting Republican.

From an existential point of view, the long term harm caused by Trump's stances on clean energy (and the US leaving the Paris Agreement for some time) and how that influenced other countries in a competing global economy is pretty hard to gauge at this point, and it's certainly not a fun subject to think about. We were already on course with fucking up the habitability of the planet before Trump came along, so it basically makes the situation seem that much more fucked. Had a Democrat been president instead, maybe the situation wouldn't be quite so dismal.

Oh yeah, the boost to anti-vax. Which is leading to increases in other diseases now too. Ugh. Granted, Trump helped with that too.

Hard to say really, the orange idiot just revealed the rot, so if he didnt get elected, things probably would have gone down this shit path anyways, but if he didnt get elected, we probably would have a proper response to covid and there would be far far far less deaths.

The first time I've voted Trump for anything. I believe that science and medicine will eventually find a way to tame COVID-19. Trump, his domestic supporters and far right sympathizers internationally (Putin, Bolsonaro, Orban, et. al,) will be a tougher nut to crack.
