Why was New York Unprepared

Maybe they believed Trump when he minimized the threat and compared it to the seasonal Flu.

 

Not his job? Wait a minute......if we go to war, he's the CIC..He calls himself a "wartime" president against the unseen enemy......so why isn't it his job? Seems odd.

 

No, you left out the most important key part. Were the people you are blaming actually at the conference? If so, prove it. Was Pence there? If it was so important, it would seem logical that he would be. As per usual, it would appear that your OP is based on nothing but your own bias.

 

Because there were never any combat air patrols over the states with the exception of Alaska prior to 9/11.

 

He's not really

 

Pelosi and Biden are not in a position to lead in this case. Trump has spent 3 yrs. blaming Obama for, well, anything and claiming all of his accomplishments which only consists of undoing what Obama did. Like getting rid of the Pandemic Team.

 

Prior to 9/11 the U.S. had no standing combat air patrols over the continental U.S. The only time USAF combat aircraft were used was to intercept off course aircraft (often drug smugglers). As such only five (that is FIVE) combat aircraft were available on 9/11 for action over the continental U.S.

 

Aahh, but HE thinks he is.....see the problem.

 

No no. You aren't understanding. It really isn't his job. He just became President to stop from becoming completely bankrupt in debt, given that no bank would loan him any money anymore. So his job is to recover his own corporations before people realize that his loyalty is to his money, and not to his country and they elect people who will kick him out.

That's his real job.

 

He can think he's an eagle with the manhood equipment of a stallion. Doesn't make it true.

 

You people repeat that lie as if you can repeat it long enough then it might become true but it's just a complete lie.

Back on January 14th the government of China was telling the World Health Organization the covid-19 was not transmittable between humans, and yet two weeks later Donald Trump had banned flights from China declared a national public health emergency and declared that we were going to have quarantine procedures for incoming Travelers.

So I don't know where you get this crap that Donald Trump was unprepared, he acted sooner than anyone else would have acted. The fact is, he was criticized, was called the racist and a xenophobe for banning flights. And the Press was demanding to know why in the hell did he banned flights from China and declare a public health emergency in January, they thought he was overreacting.

The facts are this the CDC was Ill prepared to have tests ready for covid-19 they also did not have enough PPE in stock the used some of their PPE back in 2005 and they never refilled the masks and PPE that they used they also did not have enough ventilators in storage even though they had been trying to coordinate the purchase of ventilators for over a decade before this virus came about

President Trump inherited an incompetent lackadaisical CDC. They didn't have PPE they didn't have the test kits, they didn't have ventilators, they failed. States like New York didn't have ventilators either. We depended on our government both state and federal level to prepare for an epidemic like this and they all let us down. So stop blaming this on Trump, it just makes you sound like a political partisan.

 

He thinks and says a LOT of things that aren't true. See the problem

 

Almost everyone does. So I don't see a problem.

 

Thank you for explaining it to me.

 

Not everyone is the president of the US. He is. See the problem now.

 

No.

 

Okay, so you have personality conflicts with Donald Trump, be an adult get over it already quit obsessing over the little quirks and stuff about Donald Trump that bug you.

I have the same personality conflicts with Donald Trump as you but I don't obsess over him. I just realized that's who he is, those are his quirky mannerisms those are a part of his personality.

Every single president that we have has had mannerisms and quirks that just bugged me. With GW Bush it was a slow pondering way of speaking with Obama it was his horrible public speaking crutches, his excessive "ums," "duhs," his studdering, and his propensity to always criticize the American people in a unjust generalization. But I accepted the faults from those presidents and I just move on. I just moved on, maybe you should try that

 

Both the governor the state of New York and the mayor of New York City are Democrats. Democrats look upon the US government as Mommy and Daddy, they're supposed to take care of us if anything bad happens. So of course the governor of New York is not going to waste state money on disaster preparedness, cuz of a disaster happens he's just going to cry to the federal government and he'll get all kinds of free assistance funding. That's why the governor didn't bother wasting money and buying ventilators, instead he invested that money in green energy agenda items

 

Good captains go down with their ships.
The wanna be the boss but not do the boss's job or take credit for the boss's failures.

 

You know that historically that has never been true. In fact in war time, the captain is often one of the first evacuated from a sinking ship as his knowledge and expertise is considered vital to the war effort to save.

 

Hi. Navy vet here, and that is some rank ass fake news.

Putting aside the fact that it's exceeding rare for a sinking ship to not lose the majority, if not all of her crew, a Captain's job is to guide the crew and look after their people. If they die in war, they promote another guy in their place.

 

I stand corrected Anna as I know you are former USN. What happened? Were you exiled from Wordforge as well? You know I keep My Diary thread in the Member Casual Chat subforum here don't you?

 

Why was New York Unprepared? Two words, (say this to yourself with a Brooklyn accent) Di Blasio.

 

The airlines had already suspended flights to and from China at that point

Trump made it worse...because he and Republicans just don't believe that government agencies should exist
