Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

also the hamberders. he scarffed those.
Trump ignored Obama's playbook AND he fired his own team leader; he fired the admiral in charge of pandemic response because that admiral was freinds with another staffer Trump didn't like.

WE (some of us) KNOW
Unfortunately, many people are left out of the "some of us" group and are trying their damnedest to get this dipshit elected again.
I don’t think those people come to Lemmy
Isn't this old news? I recall Trump not only throwing out the handbook, but disbanding the pandemic response team, too...
He actively tried to undo anything with Obama's name on it. The one thing he's good at is holding a grudge.
It is old news, and it's worth bringing up at this time because it shows how poorly qualified trump was then for holding the office of the presidency.
I remember this. They lost it.
Everyone knew for decades that a zoonotic corona virus was coming. We even knew it would likely come from China.
There was a whole plan for what to do. Treatment strategies, logistics, economic and national security issues, and Trump's people literally said they lost it.
The real question is: if Obama gave Trump an obviously terrible plan, with the goal to let as many people die as possible, would Trump have gone out of his way to save each and everyone - simply out of spite for Obama?
Of course he wouldn't have, but I like the idea.
No, he would have rejected it in favor of a plan he made himself that enriched his friends and family and blamed the ensuing chaos on Obama.
Knowing Trump, no shock.
I don't think he ignored it. He probably looked under the section of profiteering activities to watch out for and did any of those that he could understand.
