If you ask people when the worst one-year period in recent American history was, many would choose 1/20 to 1/21. All of it happened on Trump’s watch, but Trump & his allies are pitching an alternate version of reality, in which all of it was overseen by Biden. 🙄

‘Who was president in 2020?’ Trump and GOP want you to think it was Biden | CNN Politics

If you asked people what the worst one-year period in recent American history was, it’s a good bet that many would choose roughly between January 2020 and January 2021.
