How long will you need to be in office before you stop blaming Barack Obama
At some point Donald Trump needs to take blame when a crisis occurs. Even if he inherited the mess he claims, he now has been in office for 3 years. He has had the opportunity to fix the ills of the previous administrations. Why hasn’t he?
He claims the cupboard was bare. Yet the previous administration had started the process of preparing for a pandemic. His administration has disbanded the NSC department to track potential threats of biological and disease threats. The disbanding of this department speaks volumes about this president’s priorities.
Donald Trump takes credit for historic growth of the US economy. Yet he inherited 8 years of growth created by Barack Obama and his administration. He gives no credit to Obama for the economy. Donald Trump tells us that anything that goes well is his doing. Anything that is bad he inherited.
Not only is this not fair, it is just plain wrong.
What is Donald Trump’s take on pandemic preparation?
I’d like to ask Donald Trump how often has he mentioned pandemic preparation in his state of the union message. He has now given us 4 state of the union messages. Has he ever stated that pandemic preparation is a priority.
Then I’d like to know how often has he expressed disdain for science? For the effects of global warming? For potential effects of disease?
Until he created the Coronavirus Task Force, his only comments on the potential impact was that there was no need to prepare, because it would have no more impact then the flu. This was repeated many times between the time the WHO started preparing for the disease in early January. If the Donald Trump had heeded the warning, and worked on testing, the US would have been much better prepared for what came.
So tell me. How long does Donald Trump get to point fingers at what he inherited and what he created.
That Time is in the past…
He no longer should be allowed to blame and take credit.
