Excuses aplenty can be contrived for the high unemployment, of course, and denial of scientific reality by ideologue is nothing new either.Sure, Trump obviously has a huge ego, and Warp Speed was a massive mistake. But when it comes to the economic repercussions during that period, more can be blamed on certain state governments.
The states that were strictest on lockdowns suffered the worst economic effects, and they didn't get much in return. Unfortunately, it would appear that much of the public hasn't figured out that lockdowns only hurt. They don't stop the spread, and they destroy small businesses.
It is good that effective vaccines were developed, and that unemployment was substantially reduced and remains low.
Trumpers have a difficult time making excuses for Trump's schizophrenic effusions concerning the pandemic.
