Interestingly, Trump’s own 2020 budget contains a chart comparing the nation’s public health emergency preparedness before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and where it stood in 2016 (why it stops with Obama’s final year is unclear). Before 9/11, the nation had a 20% ability to mobilize in response to a health emergency, a 5% ability to establish an incident-command system, and 0% storage and distribution capacity for critical medicines and supplies. By Obama’s final year, the nation’s preparedness on all measurements was 98% to 100%. That’s by the Trump administration’s own assessment.

Then Trump failed to use it.

Because it was Obama's?

The capacity is not enough for the biggest pandemic in our lives. It was a stockpile that would work until Trump grew it. he did not. He just bitched.

Hello jimmymccready,

He needed to 'drain the swamp' of anything government was doing that was not specifically for the super-rich.

Or so, he claimed.

But of course, he also claimed he would release his taxes.

And why are we not surprised at this?

Hello Nordberg,

The capacity is not enough for the biggest pandemic in our lives. It was a stockpile that would work until Trump grew it. he did not. He just bitched.

First he would rant and bitch.

Then cut taxes for the rich.
