Yes, we are seeing what a presidency with the wrong priorities looks like.

Lies. It was not disbanded. You have been duped once again.

Sure, sure, it was just downsized out of existence. Who was in charge of the duties of that office that was not disbanded but no longer exists and how well have they done?

Dopey Donald Trump is looking very sick as he limps through the coronavirus as a victim
Adhoc inane measures and gestures and no real coordinated response.
Dopey Donald Trump is demonstrating his incompetence.

Coronavirus will be gone in a month when temps increase.

This is further proof that Trump is not a competent president. How can anyone defend that?

Another liberal who didn't get the memo that this claim has been debunked. Snopes is, once again, twisting the facts.

Every time you respond to an enemy anti Trump you put more money in their pockets. These are paid one topic posters.

Trump got rid of the Pandemic Response team....

He called this virus a "Hoax" for weeks.

We are all paying the price for it.

Did Trump Administration Fire the US Pandemic Response Team?

By refuting it, as we do all of the ignorant left-wing blog posts you treat like news.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...-didnt-dissolve-its-pandemic-response-office/

It has been alleged by multiple officials of the Obama administration, including in The Post, that the president and his then-national security adviser, John Bolton, “dissolved the office” at the White House in charge of pandemic preparedness. Because I led the very directorate assigned that mission, the counterproliferation and biodefense office, for a year and then handed it off to another official who still holds the post, I know the charge is specious.

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. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, congressional oversight committees and members of the Obama administration itself all agreed the NSC was too large and too operationally focused (a departure from its traditional role coordinating executive branch activity). As The Post reported in 2015, from the Clinton administration to the Obama administration’s second term, the NSC’s staff “had quadrupled in size, to nearly 400 people.” That is why Trump began streamlining the NSC staff in 2017.

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.

Except that the very nature of the threat was missed by this reorganization. This group had a focus on a biological attack, (A very unlikely scenario because there's no such thing as a patriotic germ) and not a naturally occurring virus.

Not really. There's a thread from the RWNJs denying it.

Not the same thing.
