“It's a nasty question," Trump dismissed @Yamiche, when she asked if he takes responsibility for eliminating the Pandemic Office.
Trump lied... claiming no knowledge about its closure.

Watch Trump ADMITTING to cutting the Pandemic Response Team in 2018.

7:37 AM - Mar 14, 2020

This is akin to the first act of that "bad disaster movie" many liken this to.

Narrator: "Yes, they will be needed."

4. "I'm a business person, why have people sitting around when you don't need 'em?"

Bloomberg's next campaign ad just writes itself.

5. Biden and Sanders supporters, never-trumpers

Anyone who wants this demon removed need to repeat over and over:

"President Obama created a pandemic response team. For unknown reasons, Trump shut the team down in 2018. This along with trump refusing to use WHO test kits has left the country vulnerable and unprepared to tackle the coronavirus."

Biden and Sanders need to say this the during the debate.
I am not counting on the media anymore to call him out. We must do it. People are going to be losing loved ones. Make him and the gop accountable for these deaths.

It's amazing to see trump cause the worst possible outcome and blame the black man with no repercussions whatsoever. Every white male reporter in the rose garden failed us yesterday. Every CEO standing next to him failed us yesterday. He's going to get away with this like everything else.

6. Years ago

I was a machine repairman in a factory that made war materials. One of the head screws walked out to our area 2 or 3 of us were sitting in front of our toolboxes. He spoke to us then walked on by, but he went directly to our boss and started raising hell. My boss told him I would rather all my men were sitting at their tool boxes that means the machines are running and our maintainance has done its job. If you come out here and everyone is gone then you start worrying.
