Once again, when confronted with a difficult situation, this president blames Barack Obama.
Trump recently met with leaders in the airline to discuss the coronavirus. During the meeting, he stated that the former president had implemented government regulations regarding testing kits that was making it very difficult to produce enough units for our medical personnel to conduct exams. He then went on to claim that he had removed those restrictions. Like most things that the president says, this claim was an absolute lie.
Obama’s administration had looked at restricting testing kits that were not FDA approved, but never enacted any legislation whatsoever. Best advice in dealing with this new virus?
Cindy and Jorg - you may not have watched the press conference today during which Trump and his impressive team of government and private sector executives acknowledged that the federal health system that he inherited from prior administrations is not adequate to deal with the Corona virus pandemic. Without pointing fingers, he proceeded to explain what our government is now doing to correct this abject failure, neither necessarily nor purposely intended by his predecessors. For once, please give the guy a break, we don't need the political attacks during this time of crisis. We need to confront this jointly as Americans, as most of us did during Obama's swine flu challenge.

What? Have the Trump defenders nothing to comment about this?
Perhaps even the Trumpocrats are finally beginning to see the devastating truth?
Or, perhaps not ...
They removed what I said, for the record

Trump disbanded the NSC pandemic unit, and cut funding to the CDC. His actions delayed our response and made sure the pandemic would be worse.
