I posted this in another thread. It is fitting here;
It's always Trump's fault. You know that. If we had known before the China Virus was already spread half way around the world and Trump immediately shut down the country and it actually kept the virus out, the left would say he overreacted and wrecked our economy and was playing dictator to show the country he was in charge. When you hate, you can always find fault, even when there's none there.
Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

Nobody is saying it's ALL Trump's fault. Of course it's not. However, Trump did help the virus spread quickly in America through a series of poor decisions.
* In 2018 Trump fired Homeland Security Advisor Tom Bossart, whose job was to coordinate a response to global pandemics. He was not replaced.
* In 2018 Dr. Luciana Borio, the NSC director for medical and bio-defense preparedness left the job. Trump did not replace Dr. Borio.
* In 2019 the NSC’s Senior Director for Global Health Security and bio-defense, Tim Ziemer, left the position and Trump did not replace the Rear Admiral.
* Trump shut down the entire Global Health Security and Bio-defense agency. Yes, he did.
* Amid the explosive worldwide outbreak of the virus Trump proposed a 19% cut to the budget of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention plus a 10% cut to Public Health Services and a 7% cut to Global Health Services. Those happen to be the organizations that respond to public health threats.
* In 2018, at Trump’s direction, the CDC stopped funding epidemic prevention activities in 39 out of 49 countries including China.
* Trump didn’t appoint a doctor to oversee the US response to the pandemic. He appointed Mike Pence.
* Trump has on multiple occasions sowed doubt about the severity of the virus even using the word hoax at events and rallies. He even did it at an event where the virus was being spread. Trump has put out zero useful information concerning the health risks of the virus.
* Trump pretended the virus had been contained.
* Trump left a cruise ship at sea for days, denying them proper hospital care, rather than increase his numbers in America.
The fault for the Chinese virus that the Chinese failed to contain, lied about its origin and denied help from the US health professionals, is with the Chinese.
Pathetic asshole.
