Thank God we have someone like President Trump who tells it like it is.

Its time to wake up, people!

How little do you think of your bases intelligence when you lie like this?

Posts flood Twitter blaming Obama for Katrina response
August 30, 2017

Defenders of President Donald Trump are inundating Twitter with caustic attacks on former President Barack Obama over the federal governments response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 three years and six months before Obama took office.

The posts appear to be responses to criticism of Trumps visit to Texas on Tuesday in the wake of devastating flooding in Houston following Tropical Storm Harvey. Many claim that Obama was golfing when Hurricane Katrina slammed into New Orleans in August 2005, killing 1,245 people across the Gulf Coast.

Let's compare the records of Obama and Trump when it comes to health crises.

In December 2013, an 18-month-old boy in Guinea was bitten by a bat and died a brutal death a day later. After that, there were five more fatal cases.

When Ebola spread out of the Guinea borders into neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone in July 2014, President Obama activated the Emergency Operations Center at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. The CDC immediately deployed CDC personnel to West Africa to coordinate a response that included vector tracing, testing, education, logistics, and communication.

Altogether, the CDC, under President Obama, trained 24,655 medical workers in West Africa, educating them on how to prevent and control the disease before a single case left Africa or reached the U.S.

Working with the U.N. and the World Health Organization President Obama ordered the re-routing of travelers heading to the U.S. through certain specific airports equipped to handle mass testing.

(((((((( Back home in America, more than 6,500 people were trained through mock outbreaks and practice scenarios. That was done before a single case hit America.)))))))))

Three months after President Obama activated this unprecedented response, on September 30, 2014, we detected our first case in the U.S.A. A man had traveled from West Africa to Dallas and somehow slipped through the testing protocol. He was immediately detected and isolated. He died a week later. Two nurses who tended to him contracted Ebola but later recovered. All the protocols had worked. It was contained.

The Ebola epidemic could have easily become a pandemic, but thanks to the actions of our government under President Obama, it never did. Those THREE EBOLA CONFIRMED CASES were the ONLY cases of Ebola in the U.S.A. because Obama did what needed to be done THREE MONTHS PRIOR TO THE FIRST CASE.

Ebola is even more contagious than COVID-19. Had Obama not acted swiftly, millions of Americans would have died horrible, painful, deaths like something out of a horror movie (if youve never seen how Ebola kills, its horrific).

It is ironic because since President Obama acted decisively we forget about his actions since, other than the one case, the disease essentially never reached our shores.

Now the story of COVID-19 and Trumps response that we know about thus far:

Before anyone even knew about the disease (even in China) Trump disbanded the pandemic response team that Obama had put in place. He cut funding to the CDC, and he cut our contribution to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Trump fired Rear Admiral Timothy Ziemer, the person on the National Security Council in charge of stopping the spread of infectious diseases before they reach our country - a position created by the Obama administration.

When the outbreak started in China, Trump assumed it was Chinas problem and sent no research, supplies or help of any kind. We were in a trade war, why should he help them?

In January he received a briefing from our intelligence organizations that the outbreak was much worse than China was admitting and that it would definitely hit our country if something wasnt done to prevent it. He ignored the report, not trusting our own intelligence.

When the disease spread to Europe, the World Health Organization offered a plethora of tests to the United States. Trump turned them down, saying private companies here would make the tests better if we needed them. However, he never ordered U.S. companies to make tests and they had no profit motive to do so on their own.

According to scientists at Yale and several public university medical schools, when they asked for permission to start working on our own testing protocol and potential treatments or vaccines, they were denied by Trumps FDA.

When Trump knew about the first case in the United States he did nothing. It was just one case and the patient was isolated. When doctors and scientists started screaming in the media that this was a mistake, Trump claimed it was a liberal hoax conjured up to try to make him look bad after impeachment failed.

The next time Trump spoke of COVID-19, we had SIXTY-FOUR CONFIRMED CASES but Trump went before microphones and told the American public that we only had FIFTEEN cases and pretty soon that number will be close to zero. All while the disease was spreading, he took no action to get more tests.

What Trump did was to stop flights from China from coming here. This was too late and accomplished nothing according to scientists and doctors. By then the disease was worldwide and was already spreading exponentially in the U.S. by Americans, not Chinese people as Trump would like you to believe.

So I call BS on Obama being the culprit. Corona is all on Trump's watch or lack thereof!

I think he may have been talking about H1N1 testing

It would be generous, to say the least, to interpret this as Trump referring to Ebola testing, not Covid testing. However, Trump didn't clarify within the statement made during its initial time. It was a conversation about Covid, which Trump still goes back and forth on in regards to whether or not it's happening, such as pushing a conspiracy theory about it being an elaborate scheme (that many people worldwide are in on rather than actually dead) to hurt Trump's re-election campaign, and I can see some of his defenders continue to say Trump was talking about something other than the main topic at hand (again, without adding any clarifying words).

This Fox news story ran a couple days before the news conference. Since he gets all his news from Fox and OANN, I think it's probable that this is what he was referring to.

The quote also mentions that they were dealing with a 'much lesser problem than the one that we have', so it seems like he's referring at least to something besides coronavirus

Obama didnt order a single coronavirus test, despite it being an extremely serious illness. He didnt even try.

Where was Mr. Trump? Might he also have been golfing?

How dare President Obama leave Mr. Trump with test kits that didn't work for covid 19. A virus that didn't exist before last December.

He was referring to the H1N1, which I am not sure why the media would be reporting on something that they reported on in 2009. Also, they had a vaccine for H1N1 at that time, which the fox article of course leaves out. Just deflect and blame others is his M.O.

@Zeus

Somebody quote me.
