    So did the Trump Administration drag their feet on this one.

    Could they have done more?

    Obama/Biden waited 6 months before doing anything, then used up 75% of the N95 masks and never replaced them over the next 7 years. The Trump response was lightening fast compared to Obama/Biden's.

    Could they have done more - yes. At the time he and his administration made the decision the democrats screamed it was overkill. The administration did not drag their feet.

    On February 24th nancy pelosi was telling people to go eat in china town.



    Watch the video it has all the proof in it.


    Also Trump's response follows in suit with Obama's response and actually goes further.

    Yet we didn’t have a stock market crash, people standing in line for toilet paper and guns, unemployment jump to 16% and a $2 trillion dollar bail out.

    So who handled the crisis better? Why did people trust Obama’s government to handle it, but panicked with Trump in charge? And don’t pretend it was the media because Fox News was blaring end of the world reports the entire time during H1N1.

    And Trump was holding rallies in auditoriums and golfing after the 28th.

    So if Obama handled the crisis worse that Trump, why didn’t the stock market crash and unemployment jump to 14% and why didn’t we need a $2 trillion dollar bailout? Why did America trust Obama’s government to handle the crisis and panic with Trump in charge?

    All the golf courses around me are still open btw.

    Here is an early march article about how we need not worry about crowds even. Stop using hindsight as a means to judge people.

    Is Nancy the POTUS or is Trump the POTUS. You can't lead from behind.

    I can agree - using hindsight to judge this situation isn't responsible. But sadly, neither is not taking responsibility in hindsight. Neither is maintaining confidence in one's own past actions when all indicators show they were bad actions. A strong person can admit when they were wrong - a very weak one pretends there is no proof of past wrong statements and actions and keeps barreling ahead. Even this past week - Trump flip flopped in magnificent fashion regarting his absolute power. A couple of days later, he abdicates that power and gives it to the Governors. Yet later, he tweets support for the protests. And you can bet if he gets called on it during one of his pressers, he will label it a 'gotcha' question.

    He’s still holding his rallies dressed up as corona virus briefings.
    He’ll gladly throw Americans under the bus to help his re-election ratings.
    I have never seen such a disgusting maggot of a man.
    Hopefully more and more people will turn away from this deplorable character as they watch his daily antics.

    You could even say the Obama administration had no response at all to the COVID-19 pandemic...

    B-B-But the truth and facts are NOT the responses that the political Left is looking for! This is, after all, a clumsy attempt to pull off a political hit piece. Now please cooperate!

    There also wasn't a leftist-allied Mainstream Media working for the political interests of the DNC doing the propaganda equivalent of shrieking at the time for political reasons, "We are all going to die!"

    You are wrong. Go back and look at what the largest news organization in the country (Fox News) was saying
    about the H1N1 fu at the time. And all the talking heads of Talk Radio. They were hyper-critical of Obama's response, both
    during and after.
