We made grievous policy errors during the first two years of COVID, when the economy and schools were shut down. But thankfully, red states with great governors like Ron DeSantis kept their economies mostly open for business, and Trump opened up most activities far faster than most other nations.

Now, we see the results five years later. The chart below shows the USA has grown much faster than all our major competitors.

Germany STILL hasn’t reached its pre-lockdown GDP!

The lesson: lockdowns were a disaster and we must NEVER, NEVER allow this to happen again.
