You expect him to do what you didn't expect of Obama?You asked what the IMPOTUS should have done. He should have stockpiled PPE. Then you wouldn't be left having to defend incompetence.It was Obama's responsibility to replenish the stockpile after depleting it.
Who says it wasn't expected of Obama? They each had a responsibility. The fact that Obama didn't fulfill it doesn't excuse Trump's failing.
This excuse and blame on Obama is total garbage.
Obama did a lot to prepare our nation for a pandemic. trump dismantled most of it. What he didn't dismantle, he ignored.
Obama tried to increase our stockpile for pandemic but he doesn't hold the purse strings. The congress does. Republicans controlled congress and refused to cooperate with Obama in just about everything including pandemic preparedness.
Why did trump cut the funds for pandemic preparedness? Why did trump fire the whole pandemic team? Why did trump nearly destroy the American CDC in China? Why did trump let the contract to maintain our stockpile expire and not take steps to renew that contract?
The link below is a very good article about what Obama did and what trump did.

Here is Obama trying to warn the world about pandemics and calling for infrastructure on a world wide level. He set up a lot of it. Then trump tore it all apart. He called for more money for the nation's stockpile but the republican congress refused to appropriate the money.
