If, despite Trump's cuts to crucial bodies, the virus doesn't spread widely in the U.S. he will be VERY lucky.

"Trump spent the past 2 years slashing the government agencies responsible for handling the coronavirus outbreak"
[...]
In 2018, for instance, the CDC cut 80% of its efforts to prevent global disease outbreaks because it was running out of money.

Ultimately, the department went from working in 49 countries to just ten.
P - Here are some other actions the Trump administration undertook to dismantle government spending programs related to fighting the spread of global diseases, according to Foreign Policy:

* Shutting down the entire global health security unit of the National Security Council.
* Eliminating the US government's $30-million Complex Crises Fund.
* Reducing national health spending by $15 billion.
* Consistently attacking Mark Green, the director of the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
