Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : During a press briefing in April 2020, Trump expressed interest in scientists exploring the possibility of whether Covid-19 could be treated using disinfectants inside people's bodies, "by injection inside or almost a cleaning," or by deploying powerful light "inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way."
48% : Hardly the most successful ever," the staffer said as a screen displayed average monthly job gains under Trump from January 2017 to February 2020 compared to average monthly gains during the entire Biden-Harris administration.
42% : Rather, Trump was talking about the possibility of scientists testing the possibility of using disinfectant as a treatment.
40% : And while it's true 178,000 manufacturing jobs were lost when Trump was president, Covid-19 did in fact play a big role.
38% : While there was a net loss of about 2.7 million jobs from the beginning of Trump's four-year term to the end, there was a net gain of about 6.7 million jobs under Trump until the Covid-19 pandemic hit the country about three years into his term.
36% : "And about his supposed manufacturing miracle, Trump talked a big game, but actually lost 178,000 manufacturing jobs.
32% : It's unfair to compare the average monthly job gains Trump achieved up until March 2020 to that of the Biden-Harris administration.
30% : Trump never portrayed his ill-informed 2020 musings about the possibility of using disinfectant to treat Covid-19 as actual advice to Americans.
29% : Trump made the ill-informed remarks after Bill Bryan, the acting undersecretary of science and technology for the Department of Homeland Security, outlined tests in which he said sunlight or disinfectants like bleach and isopropyl alcohol quickly killed the coronavirus on surfaces and in saliva.
27% : Nearly 22 million jobs were lost under Trump in March 2020 and April 2020 when the global economy cratered on account of the pandemic.
20% : When Trump jumped shortly afterward to the dangerous idea of injecting disinfectants inside people's bodies, he was talking about experts somehow testing that idea.
