   More people died from Jan.2021 to Jan.2025, dumb ass.   
      
   Officially reported confirmed COVID-19 deaths in the United States (per CDC   
   provisional mortality data and historical records): As of early January 2021   
   (around January 20,2021), the cumulative total was approximately 400,000-   
   425,000 (sources vary slightly between ~412,000 and ~424,000 depending on   
   exact date and reporting).   
      
   The total cumulative confirmed COVID-19 deaths in the US as of late 2025   
   stands at approximately 1,220,000 (derived from peak annual deaths of ~463,000   
   in 2021, followed by declining yearly additions, with minimal increases in   
   2024-2025 due to reduced reporting and lower severity).   
      
   This means approximately 800,000 officially reported confirmed COVID-19 deaths   
   occurred from January 2021 to January 2025 (subtracting the ~400,000-425,000   
   cumulative up to early 2021 from the ~1.22 million total). The majority   
   occurred in 2021-2022, with far fewer in subsequent years.   
      
   WHO was President from 2021 to 2025?

   "Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition   
      
   All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.   
      
   "Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has   
   been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the   
   point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."   
      
   Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the   
   Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or   
   stages:   
      
   "In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The   
   president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were   
   all it took to change the world."   
      
   "The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's   
   vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of   
   hyperbole."   
      
   "As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from   
   reality."   
      
   The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk   
   opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump does. If Trump   
   announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would   
   suggest he was up to something nefarious, according to the logic of TDS.   
   There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be   
   received positively by TDSers.   
      
   The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early   
   2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch line for late-   
   night comics and nothing more.   
      
   Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first   
   coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer back in 2003.   
   The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in   
   otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay -   
   the very existence of George W. Bush."
