BACK WHEN, 2008 - Trump prepared by dismantling U.S. protections against invasion by infectious deseases.

Zardiw, Much also IS actually what Trump did and didn't do.

"It's called the CoronaVirus. Not something that Trump did, or didn't do...."

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).

THEN - Then Trump was slower off the mark than many other countries.

Trade Adviser Warned White House in January of Risks of a Pandemic
[...]
So the CDC knew of the China cluster Dec. 31. Began compiling reports for HHS Jan. 1. Jan. 3 CDC director got a call from a China counterpart. Virtually a month later Trump was saying no big deal when Navarro wrote his Jan. 29 memo. On that day Trump named his Task Force and was thinking about barring flights from China. Jan. 30 Trump first limited flights from China. Many passengers from mainland continued to fly in. Navarro wrote a second memo dated Feb. 23, warning of PPE needs over four months and warning of possible deaths of over one million. Almost 2 months gone, Trump still minimizing the risk. He didn't want to worry Americans.

FROM YOURS - Trump Helps Big Business Profiteer Off Our Misery
The White House’s Darwinian federalism gives corporate greed a pass while scapegoating political opponents.
By Jeet HeerApril 3, 2020
.. drop Trump image ..
One of the most terrifying facts about the coronavirus pandemic is that Jared Kushner is still setting policy. The president’s son-in-law was one of the chief architects of Trump’s early dismissive response to the pandemic. If Trump spoke about the crisis as a hoax promoted by his political enemies and to Covid-19 as a problem comparable to the flu, it was because Kushner was whispering in Trump’s ear. Kushner, in line with many on the right, thought the coronavirus threat was grossly exaggerated by the media.

Speaking at the White House’s daily press briefing on the pandemic, Kushner no longer downplays it.

If U.S. voters don't serve the most important first serving of justice to Mr. Trump in
November none of them will see what should be on the plate for some of them.
