Rachel Maddow: Trump Hasn't Filled The Part Of Government That Deals With Global Health Crises
“One of the national security jobs the president emptied and never bothered to refill is the position at the national security council that’s supposed to take point on all global health security matters,” Maddow said. “There used to be someone in that job.”
“The president emptied that job two years ago and never filled it,” she added.

"President Trump “fired the government’s entire pandemic response chain of command back in 2018 and never replaced them with anyone.” I think the reason this went largely unremarked upon at the time is because the president has fired and never rehired whole big swaths of the federal government." - PoliticusUSA
Who's Putin's favorite puppet. You are, you are, Mr. Impeached pResident, you POS!“The president emptied that job two years ago and never filled it,” she added.
