    This is old news from Friday, but I just go to reading the transcript today. It is just jaw dropping.
    https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing...rs-coronavirus-task-force-press-conference-3/

    I am dying to see conservatives come to the defense of these remarks. I just can't imagine anyone reading this and not feeling embarrassed for having voted this retard into office. Holy ****. This man is so unbearably stupid.

    Ignore the fact that Trump is dodging the blame here, which is bad enough in of itself. But he's dodging it so ineptly. It's pathetic.

    For the Trumpsters, I don't know.

    But as far as Trump is concerned, he's never embarrassed, he's never wrong, the blame always falls on someone else and even if he's confronted with one of his lies or one of his nonsense, he never apologizes.

    When the voters expel him from the Presidency next November, he will claim that the elections are rigged, he will put the blame on the media and try to pass himself off as a victim.

    He will die convinced that he's perfect, that he's a genius and the greatest President this country has ever had.

    With Trump, there's nothing we can do but kick him out in height months.

    Kind of hard to blame Trump for a virus that has impacted the planet. But with liberal hopes resting on Joe Biden, I understand the need to keep trying.

    Former NSC official denies claims that Trump administration cut pandemic response office
    by Anthony Leonardi
    | March 16, 2020 09:48 PM

    A former National Security Council official shot down claims that the Trump administration cut the White House pandemic response office.

    In an op-ed published in the Washington Post on Monday, the former senior director for counterproliferation and biodefense at the NSC, Tim Morrison, objected to an argument made by another former NSC director, Beth Cameron. Cameron asserted that the president unnecessarily closed the office under her watch, but Morrison said the claim is merely a political narrative crafted by Democrats.

    "This is Washington. It’s an election year. Officials out of power want back into power after November. But the middle of a worldwide health emergency is not the time to be making tendentious accusations," Morrison wrote.

    "It is true that the Trump administration has seen fit to shrink the NSC staff. But the bloat that occurred under the previous administration clearly needed a correction," he continued.

    Morrison explained that "one such move at the NSC was to create the counterproliferation and biodefense directorate, which was the result of consolidating three directorates into one, given the obvious overlap between arms control and nonproliferation, weapons of mass destruction terrorism, and global health and biodefense."

    He added, "It is this reorganization that critics have misconstrued or intentionally misrepresented. If anything, the combined directorate was stronger because related expertise could be commingled."

    Morrison, who testified during the House's impeachment hearings last year, later argued that the United States should combat the political narrative promulgated by Democrats, saying he feels it stems from propaganda disseminated from China.

    "They are not only campaigning against the use of the term 'Wuhan virus' (a more geographically accurate description than 'Spanish flu' ever was about the 1918 pandemic) but now also promoting the false claim that COVID-19 was created by the U.S. Army. Public health officials have pinpointed a wild-animal market in Wuhan as the outbreak’s origin," he said.

    The former official's denial follows the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention objection to other claims made by congressional Democrats. Democratic Sens. Chuck Schumer and Chris Murphy have claimed that the Trump administration slashed funding for the CDC pandemic programs. However, the agency told an independent, nonprofit fact-checker that such claims were untrue because Congress later provided additional funding for global health programs.

    “CDC did not have to cut back its work from 49 to 10 countries,” said Maureen Bartee, CDC’s associate director for Global Health Security. "In the FY18-FY20 annual appropriations, CDC received base appropriations for global health security from Congress. This was used to continue the essential public health capacity development in the four core areas that was started in 2014 with the one-time supplemental funds."

    "With this regional approach, CDC intends to implement a sustainable, long-term overseas operational structure, expand the reach of its technical assistance and programs, and strengthen disease outbreak response," she said. "All told, CDC is currently working in more than 60 countries."

    No-one is blaming Trump for the virus.

    A drovers dog has always won a POTUS election against a sitting President when there is a recession, and that is where we are all headed.

    Most Americans will understand the impact of Covid-19 on the economy and also consider what Biden's plans to attack American Oil production in every way possible and also allow unrestricted immigration of unskilled and uneducated will do to the economy.

    Yup.

    That Position in the OP (that Trump deserves the Blame) is Universally Accepted.

    Imagine how COMICAL this is...

    The Idea that ANYONE would think that Trump would accept any Responsibility.

    Just more fake news. It's amazing to watch how much garbage the media arm of the DNC can produce from pure fiction. They seem to just manufacture it from pure air, kinda like a replicator from Star Trek. Like poof, here's some garbage to spew.

    And many on the left, accept every bit of it, with no rational skepticism! Confirmation bias, at it's finest!

    Hence the success of satire sites, like The Onion and Babylon Bee.
    Someone has to capitalize on the gullibility. (besides the MSM)

    It's insulting, and the only good bit of news from it is if there's enough idiots to elect Joe Biden, they won't be able to blame "orange man bad" for long.

    How could Trump or anyone for that matter disband the coronavirus task force before we ever knew about coronavirus? Folks could at least try to be honest...

    Lysol disinfectant spray has been killing Human Coronavirus for decades. This is just a new strain of Coronavirus. We should have already had the genetic makeup for it. It just had to be tweaked a little and that’s what they’re doing in Seattle right now on those test subjects.

    The genetic mapping also suggests the new coronavirus is closely related to a bat coronavirus found in China in 2013. But the two strains would have diverged between 20 and 70 years ago, he said. “We don’t really know where it’s been since then.”

    Thanks for the info. My point was the way this particular thread is implying that there was in fact a task force in place for this virus. There wasn't. This is what some people do, spread misinformation or outright lies, all the while claiming that's what the administration is doing...
