Great first attempt, you're doing well. Comments below.
^^^^^This anon is right. Both top and bottom texts could be "tuned up". You want to convey the same message, with fewer words, and make the lettering larger. Using the black background header/footer to the image also helps because it makes white lettering pop. If you put words in the image itself, you have to worry about losing visual impact due to the image in the background.
Examples of how I'd fine tune the language:
Top line - I mandated nursing homes to accept Covid positive patients
Bottom line - Trump's guidelines said to avoid this, but I did it anyway (great point to emphasize) and now your parents are dead.
or
I ignored Federal guidelines and your parents are dead. But I'd rather call them "shiny objects."
Using terms like "my negligent policy" are accurate, but not really necessary. Average people will figure that out.
Credit the Trump administration facts, and press the ugly facts for the commies. The people will place blame on their own. A good example of this is your use of the term "shiny objects." You don't have to tell people it's wrong (you couldn't fit that in anyway) - they get it.
