We've been covering COVID updates ITT since well before Trump left office. @Benggaul has literally hundreds of posts detailing this information going back to almost the beginning of the spread in the US.
But also...

It doesn't indicate that at all. What a ridiculous notion.
Trump doesn't show guilt or remorse because he's both a narcissist and a moron, neither of which indicates strength of will. He's just so stupid that he believes his own pathological lies.
It's pretty telling that you confuse those traits with "will".

1,000,001 would be considered millions? I'd think the break-off point would be 2 million. By that logic, a baker's dozen is "dozens of donuts" even though you're only receiving 13. My 101 year-old grandma was hundreds of years old when she died. YUPPIE has thousands of brain cells. We all know none of these things are true.

If the mayor of a city blows up the dam and causes massive flooding before being voted out and the new mayor is still trying to clean up and work on getting the dam rebuilt even though there's still occasional flooding coming through since the flow's no longer managed, then yeah. We still blame the mayor who blew up the dam.

Neither has Charles Manson.
Look at it this way: Tucker Carlson is going on TV and taking Russia's side against Ukraine. Why? because Trump likes Russia, and Tucker is doing everything he can to prove that Trump was RIGHT about Russia.
All these republicans are doing the same thing with COVID: Trump was right to not take COVID seriously, so they are doing everything they can to show it's not that big a deal. It's about proving Trump was right all along, and rubbing it in our faces (and dying in the process)

Ya'll remember the WinRed fundraising platform that was the Republicans response to Democratic efforts?
Well, it's been in some trouble for sending out donation request forms for pre-checked boxes, which is a no-no, especially given that they were doing this on a weekly/monthly basis.
New York, Connecticut, Maryland, and Minnesota AG's began investigating if any laws were broken, WinRed sued arguing that campaign finance laws are federal and the AG's don't have standing to investigate under consumer protection laws.
They lost.Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and others, saying that federal election law "does not preempt generally applicable state consumer protection laws merely because the state seeks to apply them to a federally registered political committee."
Man, I know it's a legal right to prevent corruption and abuse, but there sure does seem to be a lot of Team Trump suing law enforcement investigating all those laws they broke.

So remember when Trump said he had 33% GDP growth and it was the most amazing thing ever?
Well, 2021's figures are in. With the final quarter closing out strong, Biden's 2021 GDP growth (5.6% whole year) is now better than any year Trump ever had.
*ahem*
Any two years.
GDP growth was, in order, according to the World Bank, 2.333% 2.996% 2.161% and then 2020 happened. No pairing of any two of those three, adds up to 5.6%.
"But Breccia! You spent at least a year saying Trump wasn't responsible for 2017! Hell, you've even posted a few times that 2020 and 2021 were more the free market than any direction from the top!"
I did, yes, thank you for noticing hypothetical reader. And I stand by that, even when Biden saw historic recovery in 2021. Of course, I wasn't the one bragging that only I could get bigly GDP numbers. That was Trump, who never broke 3%. Therefore I have every right to rub it in their faces that, even by their own leader's metric, he is a loser. Even without COVID he never hit his goal, and now, if Trump can take credit for his higher results -- and he did, we have 4,000 pages of material about Trump taking credit for things -- then Trump and by proxy his rabid fanbase must now admit Biden just schooled him in broad freaking daylight.
"Surely it was Trump's fault when it was good, and someone else's fault when it was bad?"
Around here, we call that "hypocrisy". And that's not a defense, that's admitting to losing while also volunteering a poor character trait.
