Trump literally declared during his latest CNN Town Hall that he did not — repeat, DID NOT — shut the country down over COVID.
He then tried to play fast and loose with this one question about shutdowns, asking if the speaker was talking about budget shutdowns or COVID shutdowns.
He then went on to defend his poor record on fighting the public health crises that emerged on the country starting in late 2019.

TRUMP LOCKED DOWN THE USA OVER COVID-19!
In California, we know that the populace has no problem with Newsom’s lies, tyranny, and corruption. The voters have made their beds, so let them lie in them (and yet, pun intended once again). Will the nation’s voters go all in on these lies again, too? Let’s not forget that Newsom presided over one of the worst COVID-19 lockdowns in the country, and in Los Angeles County, the
