Trump refusing to ever wear a mask had a huge impact on how seriously people took covid and what they did to protect society. Trump really is at fault.

  You totally missed my point. I didnt say anything about Trump being right or wrong. I just said that for NYT anything that is related to Trump is bad. And I'm pretty sure this is not the case

    When you have to argue that you're "pretty sure" not everything about a person is bad then negative press coverage is not surprising. I am currently struggling to come up with something about Trump that's not mostly negative. Maybe his honesty in the Woodward calls? That's stretching it a bit, and only highlights how dishonest he's been in public. His response to Covid and natural disasters? So bad it better be incompetence rather than malice. His refusal to clearly distance himself from hate groups? His refusal to pay his own lawyers? Trump University and all the other scams? No, I'm lost, I might be missing something. Please explain what Trump did well that isn't considered morally questionable.

      For example, don't you think Trump acted well regarding getting vaccine quickly ?

        Do you honestly think Trump had anything to do with vaccine development? I don't think he hindered it, but I don't think he accelerated it either.

        Yeah, sure. IFF by "getting vaccine quickly" you mean making sure that HE got vaccinated as quickly as possible.
