Five years ago, the coronavirus plunged the world into uncertainty and major loss, causing a sudden shift in normalcy. The disease took the lives of millions of people worldwide between the years of 2019 and 2022. Health authorities advised citizens to stay indoors, wear masks in public, and maintain a six-foot distance from others to prevent the spread of the virus. 

Last year on MSNBC, Reid reflected on Trump’s poor mismanagement of the pandemic. He majorly downplayed the severity of the crisis, which led to a delayed response. He also opposed wearing masks, despite health experts like the CDC recommending them to slow down or stop the spread of the disease

“Donald Trump had one job. He had one crisis,” Reid said reflecting on this. “It was called the pandemic, and you know what you did? You bollixed it completely. You did so poorly at managing your sole crisis. The one hard thing you had to do.” 

Reid suggested that Trump doesn’t handle business at the White House, which is why he looks as refreshed as he does. “The reason he doesn’t look old like Biden looks older, she says the presidency ages when you do the job. Obama went gray because he was doing the work. Donald Trump looks the same as when he ran because he was playing golf the whole time.” 

Reid pointed to the stimulus checks the government gave U.S. citizens to help them financially through the pandemic. “The reality is he had one job manage this crisis and he he messed it up so badly that they had to do the stimmy.”
