Ouch!This is pure Bull Shit, and you know it Joe....But, because I have time today, let's take your list one at a time shall we?
1. "He disbanded the Pandemic Response Team"
"Tim Morrison, former senior director for counterproliferation and biodefense on the NSC, wrote in another Washington Post Op-Ed, “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. … 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. It is this reorganization that critics have misconstrued or intentionally misrepresented. If anything, the combined directorate was stronger because related expertise could be commingled”

Partly false claim: Trump fired entire pandemic response team in 2018
Correction: the headline of this fact-check earlier read "Trump fired pandemic response team in 2018", it has been amended to "Trump fired entire pandemic response team in 2018"www.reuters.com
So, at best your claim here is misrepresenting the facts....Trump made our team stronger....
2. "He scrapped the Pandemic Response Plan"
This claim, as referenced above is a misrepresentation of the facts...Trump did no such thing...What he did was to streamline the the people in the NSC tasked with handling these things making them stronger....
3. "He failed to replenish emergency supplies of PPE"
Not true...As of March 2020 Trump signed the NDA to enable private industry to manufacture PPE, and ventilators. The shortage also highlighted the sad state our stockpiles were in due to the previous administration doing nothing to address that issue...
4. "He closed down the CDC Field office in Beijing that could have coordinated during the early stages of the outbreak."
First off it was a drawdown, not a closing...AND, it was started under Obama two years prior....From March of 2020
"Most of the reductions were made at the Beijing office of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and occurred over the past two years, according to public CDC documents viewed by Reuters and interviews with four people familiar with the drawdown"

Exclusive: U.S. slashed CDC staff inside China prior to coronavirus outbreak
The Trump administration cut staff by more than two-thirds at a key U.S. public health agency operating inside China, as part of a larger rollback of U.S.-funded health and science experts on the ground there leading up to the coronavirus outbreak, Reuters has learned.www.reuters.com
5. "He called it a hoax."
What he called a "hoax' was the politics Democrats were playing with the pandemic...Not the pandemic itself...Most rational people understand this...
"What's True
During a Feb. 28, 2020, campaign rally in South Carolina, President Donald Trump likened the Democrats' criticism of his administration's response to the new coronavirus outbreak to their efforts to impeach him, saying "this is their new hoax." During the speech he also seemed to downplay the severity of the outbreak, comparing it to the common flu.
What's False
Despite creating some confusion with his remarks, Trump did not call the coronavirus itself a hoax."

Did President Trump Refer to the Coronavirus as a 'Hoax'?
Trump's commentary on the new coronavirus came before the virus began killing patients in the U.S.www.snopes.com
6. "He encouraged his followers to resist Blue State Governors attempts to contain it."
Bull shit....What Trump did was to call out fascist Governors like Michigan who were using the pandemic to crush, and control their residents needlessly...
7. "He lied to people and told them it would be over by Easter"
I realize that you libs wanted him to use 'fear tactics' toward the citizens in order to control them, which is what you fascists do, but the fact is he was trying to hold down panic...
8. "He said "It is what it is" when told 250K had died."
Jesus, what a liar....Why don't you include the rest of the sentence....
Trump said in response to a Jonathon Swain interview question when deaths were at 155K NOT your lie of 250K
"They are dying, that's true. And it is what it is," Trump said. "But that doesn't mean we aren't doing everything we can."

'It is what it is,' Trump says of rising coronavirus death toll as he insists outbreak is 'under control'
When asked if he was giving people a "false sense of security" with his positive spin on the outbreak, Trump said the virus is "under control."www.usatoday.com
9. "He hawked bullshit cures like Hydrochlorquinine and Ivmentin."
They were/are promising treatments for early stage diagnosis of the virus. They could have helped lessen the amount of deaths, and showed that Trump was more than willing to throw everything at this virus...These theraputics which were mocked and demonized by Democrats looking to pump the death rate to make Trump look bad are to blame...
10. "He held super spreader events because his ego couldn't live without them (Poor Herman Cain, he died as he lived, sucking up to white people)"
Hey, This is a free country...People can make the decision to go to a rally, or a football game themselves....If it's a risk they are willing to take, we don't need you nor the government to tell us we can't go....
11. "He encouraged open racism against Asian Americans related to this flu."
LOL...You snowflake....Look here, the virus came from China, not the US...Calling it the Chinese virus is factual....Too bad you don't want to offend your paymasters....
12. "He lied to the Debate Commission about testing positive and encountered dozens of people while personally infected."
Again Bull Shit....It was the leftist Debate Commission that were trying to rig the election by canceling debates rather than putting dementia Joe up there for the world to see...
All in all what you have posted in this post are if not misrepresentations, they are outright lies....
JoeB131 takes another major beatdown.
