Instead, he cut the CDC, the NIH etc. In 2009, Obama worked to stimulate a failing economy, rescue.the auto industries and kept the country's economy an that of the world, from going off the cliff. He wasted no time listing all the things his predecessors that led to the collapse.
The fact is that Obama DID step up domestically and internationally on Ebola, created an office in the WH to coordinate response and then after the threat was under control, sponsored a major WH effort to identify best practices and to write up a comprehensive plan.
Trump via John Bolton eliminated that office and he then paid no attention to the playbook. It is on Trump that he did nothing other than his very porous bans for China, that still allowed over 100,000 people into the US and a later European ban. He FOUGHT Washington state from testing early community spread cases. What is completely clear now is that the horse was out of the barn before his hand, Not to mention returning AMERICANS from China and Europe were the source of the virus.
He glances China for not being transparent in December, but his own January thru March comments were FAR worse in hiding what he knew about the problem. At a time where integrity, honesty and transparency is needed to lead the country to make whatever sacrifices are needed, we have a president engaged in conspiracy theories, lies and anger.
