Were Americans better off when their president was tweeting “With approximately 100,000 CoronaVirus cases worldwide, and 3,280 deaths, the United States, because of quick action on closing our borders, has, as of now, only 129 cases (40 Americans brought in) and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible”? The GOP was better off politically, sure, but no. Americans by and large were not better off in that situation.
