Trump facilitated huge resources ( ventilators, hospital ships ) to governors of NY, WA and many others.
- Took early action to cut off travel from China
- Built the world’s leading testing system from nothing
- Enacted mitigation measures to slow the spread
- Mobilized public and private sectors to secure needed supplies
- Took action to protect vulnerable Americans
- Launched effort to deliver a vaccine and therapeutics in record time
- Provided support to workers and businesses
- Paved way for reopening to get America working again
- Surged resources to hot spots as they arose
- Confronted China as origin of the virus while Democrats and media cowered
- While Democrats were focused on their impeachment sham, President Trump took swift and decisive action to stop travel from China in January and enhanced airport screenings to help stop cases from coming into the United States as long as possible.
- In his February 4th State of the Union address, President Trump pledged to “take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from the virus,” while the Democrats’ response made not a single mention of the virus or even the threat of China.
Trump also had to deal with empty cupboards thanks to Obama.

When discussing pandemic preparedness and COVID-19, “[c]learly, the Obama administration did not leave any kind of game plan for something like this.”
(Quoted for posterity and stupidity)
Every single item on ineedhelp1’s list was an EXPENSIVE REACTIVE measure. America paid a premium in lives and treasure for the corrupt orange traitor’s pandemic preparedness FAILURE.

President Obama’s Pandemic Playbook was an INEXPENSIVE PROACTIVE plan that (if followed) would have saved LIVES and money.

Also:
The cupboards were bare when President Obama left office because the "republicans" in control of congress (and many state legislatures) were the party of “NO”, and wouldn’t spend money on things like pandemic preparedness. (Tax cuts for the rich were a different matter.)

Also:
President Obama left the corrupt orange traitor in a much better position, fiscally, to restock the cupboards, than “the shrub” left him.

Also:
During President Obama’s administration there was a dedicated NSC pandemic preparedness office at the White House which the corrupt orange traitor eliminated in March of 2017.

Also:
The corrupt orange traitor slashed CDC staff INSIDE CHINA BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.

An ounce of prevention and preparedness would have been worth millions of lives and trillions of dollars potentially saved. -President Obama (and now President Biden) understood that. The corrupt orange traitor understood nothing.

Instead of following President Obama’s pandemic playbook and preparing for the predictable and predicted pandemic, the corrupt orange traitor focused on a tax cut for the rich.
