Again we had the Ebola outbreak, obama downplayed it, the Democrats impeached Trump asleep at the wheel and now you blaming Trump?

History is not your friend.

Ebola never caused problems in the US, we had what 4 cases, so Obama did a good job, so what's your point??? Now your excuse is impeachment??

So you agree that Trump failed in his response to this virus, and your excuse for his total failure is the impeachment??? WOW!!!!!! So according to you Trump is not responsible for his failure and it's all the democrats fault, talk about pathetic... here's Trumps own words:

On Feb. 25, Nancy Messonnier, a senior CDC official, sounded perhaps the most significant public alarm to that point, when she told reporters that the coronavirus was likely to spread within communities in the United States and that disruptions to daily life could be “severe.” Trump called Azar on his way back from a trip to India and complained that Messonnier was scaring the stock markets, according to two senior administration officials.

January 24: "It will all work out well."

January 30: “We think we have it very well under control. We have very little problem in this country at this moment — five. And those people are all recuperating successfully. But we’re working very closely with China and other countries, and we think it’s going to have a very good ending for it. So that I can assure you.”

February 14: “We have a very small number of people in the country, right now, with it. It’s like around 12. Many of them are getting better. Some are fully recovered already. So we’re in very good shape.”
February 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. … Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”

February 26: “Because of all we’ve done, the risk to the American people remains very low. … When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero. That’s a pretty good job we’ve done."

February 28: “It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear

Trump failed, this is proof.

This is proof we need to close our borders. The border wall should now be a top priority.

There is that, but he was not the first.

George W. Bush in 2005: 'If we wait for a pandemic to appear, it will be too late to prepare'

In the summer of 2005, President George W. Bush was on vacation when he began flipping through an advanced copy of a new book about the 1918 flu pandemic.

abcnews.go.com

That stupid mother fucker was. This is from the linked article.

Thus was born the nation's most comprehensive pandemic plan -- a playbook that included diagrams for a global early warning system, funding to develop new, rapid vaccine technology, and a robust national stockpile of critical supplies, such as face masks and ventilators, Townsend said.

Wow. So what happened to all that stockpile? Well, Barry O used it up on SARS and never replenished the stock pile. He also neglected it. That's why doctors and nurses got masks that would fall apart when they were used. Sorry, token negro was not a cllearvoiant super Jesus, just another personality cult like all the rest.

For the next 500 years people are going to be replaying all of Trump's stupid quotes about how "this is nothing" He looks real bad... George Bush bad.

When H1N1 hit we weren't perpared when Katrina hit we weren't prepared when super storm Sandy hit we weren't prepared the coronavirus hits we aren't prepared there is a patteren here for those who don't or choose not to see it I will point it out. As a nation we are never prepared for events like these before they hit we always react after they do and it's the same no matter if the sitting President is Democrat or Republican.

These lefties will never realize it but government is never prepared. If they take ten percent of your money they can’t help you. If they take eighty percent, they still can’t help you. Government is failing constantly.

When Trump banned travel from China Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer attacked him and the left leaning press claimed he was over reacting. When he banned travel from Europe same response. When he proposed a bill to help Americans hurt by the disease Nancy Pelosi held it up for 3 WEEKS demanding democratic pork be added. And Chuck Schumer went along with her after first agreeing to the BI PARTISAN BILL that the Senate sent to the House.

When President Trump announced several ways to combat the disease with specific medication proven to work the LEFT again and continues to attack it.

You want cooperation? Try telling your side to actually do that, All it has been is a delay and lies from the left since day one.

So why did he wait 4 years after H1N1 to make that speech and why did he reduce domestic stockpiles after making that speech? Oh and why didn't he streamline FDA and CDC approval procedures after making that speech? Or was it just so much hot air, which was typical of the mulatto messiah.

Said and do, is two different things..

Remember Obama said the ebola outbreak was nothing to worry about.

Ebola was nothing for the US to worry about, Obama was right. trump also said this virus was nothing to worry about... He was dead wrong. History will not be kind to trump as he ignored too many warning signs, this could've been prevented with the right president.

Hind site is the leftys friend, so now you think many years ago the Ebola outbreak was just nothing?

The left fought the right on putting people in isolation all the way to the court system.

So in just three months you think Trump had a magic ball , after dealing with Nancy impeaching him?

Give us a break.

All you have is excuses. Non stop excuses, excuses for Bush failing, excuses for Bush crashing the economy, and now excuses for Trump failing. It is non stop excuses from the GOP. The party of weakness, failure, and excuses:

The warnings from U.S. intelligence agencies increased in volume toward the end of January and into early February, said officials familiar with the reports. By then, a majority of the intelligence reporting included in daily briefing papers and digests from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the CIA was about covid-19, said officials who have read the reports.

On Feb. 25, Nancy Messonnier, a senior CDC official, sounded perhaps the most significant public alarm to that point, when she told reporters that the coronavirus was likely to spread within communities in the United States and that disruptions to daily life could be “severe.” Trump called Azar on his way back from a trip to India and complained that Messonnier was scaring the stock markets, according to two senior administration officials.

But we’re working very closely with China and other countries, and we think it’s going to have a very good ending for it. So that I can assure you.”

February 26: “Because of all we’ve done, the risk to the American people remains very low. … When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero. That’s a pretty good job we’ve done."

February 28: “It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear

Let me guess, banker in your case means door greeter right? Say banker's door greeter, did you know the Democrats controlled both houses when we crashed? Did you know they controlled both houses and O'bummer was POTUS when we hit rock bottom? They teach that in bank-greeter college? Still Bush's fault?

Yeah, after 2009 when the brown turd allowed 34,000 US citizens many of them children to die by the Swine Flu, even a moron like Obama realized that he fucked up, but still didnt do anything to make the country better by stockpiling PPE for later events. Oblummer talked the talk, but never walked the walk. Faggots always are that way...

You really are dumber than a sack of hammers. There was never a need to stockpile PPE's. There was a need to BUY PPE's before the disease arrived.

Trump had three months - from December 1st to February 29th to buy PPE's and prepare for the crisis. The Administration placed their first order for PPE's after March 15th - when doctors and nurses were already begging for them.

The PPE's in the national stockpile had rotted. The ones that were shipped were useless. The ventilators didn't work because Trump allowed the maintenance contracts to lapse. But Trump had 3 months to prepare and he did nothing.

Canada started ordering supplies in December. Trump should have too.

Did you know they controlled both houses and O'bummer was POTUS when we hit rock bottom? They teach that in bank-greeter college? Still Bush's fault?

What a wonderful rewriting of the crash. The crash happened in October of 2008, and it was caused by changes in banking and finance laws that were passed by Republicans in the House and Senate in the waning days of the Clinton Administration in 1999.

Bankers started selling Americans on the idea of sub-prime mortgages, which were highly profitable for the banking and real estate industry. After 9/11, W had the Fed reduce interest rates to nearly nothing to goose the economy after 9/11. Lower interest rates enabled millions more Americans to qualify for a mortgage, and they went on a buying spree which created a housing bubble.

With a red hot real estate market, bankers and Wall Street were raking in money hand over fist, selling the profitable sub-prime mortgages to investors around the world. But when the mortgages started maturing in 2007, the low interest rate mortgages were locked in at much higher interest rates and payments tripled and quadrupled. Since people were buying with no money down, they simply walked away from the loans they could no longer afford. Millions of them, bursting the bubble. Prices plummetted.

The Crash came in October 2008, but the seeds were sown by the Republican lawmakers who gutted the banking laws put in place to prevent another crash like 1929. Republicans controlled both the House and Senate from 1994 to 2006. Democrats took over in January of 2007, and by then it was took late to undo 12 years of fiscal mismanagement by the Republicans.

No amount of conservative attempts to blame this on Democrats or loans to low income borrowers, is bullshit. Wall Street greed did this. Subprime mortgages were so profitable that they became this giant ponzi scheme. And none of the crooks on Wall Street went to jail. When the crash came, they all got massive bailouts because they were "too big to fail".
