Whataboutism doesn't work when one party is the President and is rightfully held at a much higher standard than literally anyone else. This isn't equal exchange. It's one party with supreme power willfully misusing it. Misusing it to a point where lives are squandered that could have easily been saved. Where I come from failure to provide assistance is a crime, which is what the President has been doing and is still doing while inflicted with the same illness. That alone makes him a criminal.

Fun read. Whereas victim blaming is big in the US, people in Germany get fined for not helping.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
