Second, anybody thinks US is willfully unprepared for pandemic can THANK Obamacare.
Looking at you gov. Cuomo, who complained “It is unbelievable to me that in New York State, in the United States of America, we cannot make these materials, and that we are all shopping China to try get these materials, and we are competing against each other ...”
To refresh your memory, Obamacare levied a huge taxes on medical equipment manufacturing here in the US. What do you think would happen? Why wouldn’t THEY foresee this kind of shortage on medical equipment and complete reliance on foreign entities? Yes, even after Trump took over for more than three years.
And about that ‘warning’ that Trump should have known. Cooper might be referring to the military war gaming on pandemic in 2019. Military war game all kinds of scenario for their preparedness. How can Cooper and Acosta now blame Trump for “knowing a pandemic would happen in advance yet not prepare for it”? Did they ever blame Obama on the swine flu in 2009?
If Obama couldn’t restock in the 6 years between 2010 and 2016, how could Trump do it in 3?
Acosta should be blaming Obama, and his Democrat colleagues for draining the stockpile of medical supplies and not restocking.
But instead, they criticize President Trump for not fixing a problem they were responsible for. In the last 3 years how many Democrats stood up and said "we need to restock the essential medical supplies we used up during the Obama years"?
I think we all know the answer - none.
I bet Acosta looks at himself in a the mirror a lot.
When he isn’t to busy watching video clips of himself.
President wrong because I said so.
Jim Acosta
The question for acosta. If covid had happened in 2016,, would he have blamed trump?
And followup. Why should trump have assumed that obama failed to restock after 2009? If obama didnt restock when he used it, and didnt restock for 6 more years, why would trump have been told it needed to be done?
