Dispatches from the liar-in-chief
Trump flailing and spitting poison:
…. Their response to H1N1 Swine Flu was a full scale disaster, with thousands dying, and nothing meaningful done to fix the testing problem, until now. The changes have been made and testing will soon happen on a very large scale basis. All Red Tape has been cut, ready to go!

No.
Trump is trying to blame the CDC and Obama for his own epic failure to adequately respond to the coronavirus pandemic. In fact, Trump has still not declared a national emergency that would allow FEMA to be activated to help with the response needed to fight the coronavirus.

Obama declared the H1N1 a public health emergency when there were fewer than two dozen confirmed cases in the USA.
You're waiting on Jared fucking Kushner to finish his review before you do the same.

Historians will look back at trump and his administration’s failure to use the World health Organization coronavirus testing kits and instead delay widespread testing in US for weeks as one of the worst health crisis mistakes ever made. This was Criminal! https://t.co/DcVVkmMlY5

Hey kids, let’s make our own pandemic testing kits, that will be a fun adventure.
Yabbut, accepting WHO’s tests would cut Big Pharma out of a prime gouging opportunity.
And…Trump joined in with Limbaugh and the right wing machine to minimize the Swine flu threat and advise people not to vaccinate.
Oh, christ. I didn’t know that, but of course he did.
