The other far more important factor in the blacks, hispanics and women unemployment rate decline and increased entry into the labor force than anything Trump or other Repubs would have a thing to do with was there had been a big movement in mostly Dem states and cities to begin incrementally raise the minimum wage. Minimum wage jobs being more likely than most filled by blacks, hispanics and women, those demographics were naturally enticed into taking jobs that would finally actually pay enough to survive.
You know, the raises in the minimum wage that Trump and his fellow Repubs railed against then as now.
LOL. But they had no problem falsely taking credit for the lower unemployment rates, increases in the labor force and higher wages for those demographics that come about when you raise the minimum wage as long as the Dems were the ones making it happen. LOL. Typical Repub behavior.

Trump's most significant contribution to the development and administration of the vaccines is his working mightily to create a worldwide need for them when such an outcome could have been avoided without his 2018 defunding decision, his early consistent lies and mockery about the problem.

Of course, a POTUS can't effect the growth, power and direction of a natural event like a gale force wind or a hurricane due to his disastrous economic decisions, his cowardice and lies about it the way one can and Trump did with the development of this virus from endemic to pandemic.
Thank god. If he could, Trump would have figured out a way to do that with every gale force wind that came along from January 2017 to January 2021.

Since you believe nothing could have been done, please explain the low deaths per capita in places like Thailand.

Seriously, you think if Biden, or anyone else had been in office, there would have been no covid outbreak? If we get a massive hurricane this fall, and people die, is it Bidens fault?
It's a highly contagious virus, short of locking everyone in the USA in separate cages for a month, there is really no way the spread could have been prevented.
All the lockdowns, cloth masks, etc were safety theater. So politicians can say "look! We're doing something to stop covid! Re-elect me please!

Even the fake news admit as much, so it must be true: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...it/ar-BB1etOQT - "Biden insists he inherited 'a mess,' but the Trump vaccine rollout is a playbook he's mostly stuck with".

Why? Simple. "Leadership: Whatever happens, you're responsible. If it doesn't happen, you're responsible." Trump was president when it happened so he's responsible.

Meanwhile, he and Melania got vaccinated in near secrecy back in January. Which isn't the way anyone who had anything to do with championing or promoting the invention of a vaccine and the administering of one would do it. Obviously, among other "tells" he gave away in that move, even Trump knows he had fuck all nothing to do with that positive outcome.
