    YUUUUP! The big questions especially in regards to NY is what the hell has covid coumo been doing?
    Why are NY failings only a federal problem?
    Why did NY piss away $750 MILLION on a failed solar panel factory that could have better spent stock piling supplies for a rainy day?

    According to reports it wouldn't have matter had he learned about the fact the Obama/Biden admin recklessly and needlessly used up 2.3 of the mask stockpile and failed to restock it, ignoring his own experts for 7 years....why? Because we were 2 to 3 years in the hole because of the Obama/Biden regime.

    Obama/Biden broke the system....thankfully we have leadership in office fixing, another one of their messes.

    You know what? Obama should have replenished those stocks that were depleted. That was a mistake.

    But it is really pathetic for Trump to blame Obama for something that he had three years to fix, and failed to do so. If it was broken when he became president, it was his job to fix it. And he failed.

    So what the **** was Trump doing to fix it for the last three years? NOTHING.

    OK - blame Obama for screwing up if you want to. Fine. But Trump bears responsibility for not taking steps to fix what he claims was broken.

    The "biased" media paints Trump as he is, without constantly making excuses for him as his sycophants do.

    He is currently taking those steps.

    Deflecting from Obama is just sad and desperate. The current Admin is addressing and fixing the broken system Obama/Biden left us

    Deflecting TO Obama is sad and desperate.

    If there was something to be done, why didn't he do it three years ago? If you criticise Obama for a lack of action in the absence of a crisis, you must also criticise Trump for a lack of action until there was a crisis.

    I'm not deflecting anything...it's a cold hard truth that the Obama/Biden Admin used up 2/3 of our stockpile, ignored experts and advisers for years who told him to restock them, and left the nation in a 2 to 3 year hold to refile the stockpile.

    That's not deflection, that's just the truth

    I don't know whether it is true or not. If it is, it doesn't change the fact that Trump did nothing for three years to rectify the situation.

    If, as you say, it would take 2 to 3 years to refill the stockpile, it would have been refilled by now if he had acted when he was sworn in. If, as you say, it would take 2 to 3 years, it means there will not be enough for this crisis.

    Are you somehow saying that it was important to refill the stockpile until 2016, but after 2016 it was no longer important?

    The Russia collusion delusion, the Kavanaugh dog and pony show, the sham impeachment...

    Doesn't all that look awfully foolish given what we're faced with now? Think of all the time, money, and resources wasted by the Democrat's failed political assassination schemes. Despite what the leftists have been screeching about for the last three years, Trump isn't a dictator, and he would've absolutely needed the cooperation of the Democrats to refill the stockpile over the last three years.

    Here's a very simple question I'd like you to attempt to answer- Did Trump have the cooperation of the Democrats over the last three years?

    The only reason we have what stockpile we do now is because the Republicans DID COOPERATE with Obama, right? Can you at least acknowledge that simple fact?

    Can’t recall ANYONE who defends Trump unconditionally. And sorry, leftists are waaaaaaay more aggressive using paid organizations like Media Matters or hire Antifa or violent students to silence and/or cancel people. Corporate tech leaders even support silencing people. We have business documents and video to prove it. Not even comparable.

    Considering Obama went through a smaller version of this during his term and barely did anything to prepare us for the next round shows FAR MORE incompetence then Trump has ever shown. Obama didn’t need to deal with any real opposition. He didn't have to deal with a constantly lying MSM painting his every action negatively or flat out lying. He had no real distractions at all. Maybe if he spent less time bending over to China and the the rest of the world he could have had all the agencies TRUMP INHERITED preparing for the next round? It’s more the fault of the leaders of all these agencies sitting back and doing what most content govt employees usually do....nothing, unless you force their hand. Again. Trump inherited what Obama left him.

    Where did Trump blame Obama? Only thing I've heard him say that it wasn't the previous administrations fault because no one could have know about how contagious a virus like this could be and spread so fast around the world. The ones on here blaming Obama are just playing partisan like most of your post blaming trump. Both are stupid.

    Right. Trump had three years to do something but bears no responsibility for his failure to do anything during those three years.

    The buck stops anywhere but with him.

    Pathetic.

    He claims he inherited a broken system. Then spent three years not fixing it.
