Do you think Donald Trump is receiving more blame than he deserves or less in regards to the COVID Pandemic.
Less, at least in this conversation. There is a lot of talk about his failed leadership on the issue, but what isn't discussed is his trashing of the pandemic response plan left by the Obama administration and his ignoring expert advice on what was going on in China. We had our own medical experts saying that there was a high risk of something like this coming out of China and that we should provide help and resources to them to help ensure a global pandemic didn't occur. In response to this, he cut the staffing and resources by more than half and removed the US expert embedded in the Chinese infrastructure that would've acted as the liaison and provided us with an earlier warning about the outbreak.
