Current Events > Trump wants to disband yet another pandemic response unit.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Remember when Trump disbanded the pandemic response team put in place by Obama two years before a global pandemic killed more than one million Americans? He's vowing to do the same to a pandemic response team put in place by Biden, because spite matters to him more than the health and safety of the people he's meant to govern.

President Bidens reelection campaign criticized former President Trump on Tuesday after Trump said he would get rid of the Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy (OPPR).

The OPPR was founded in 2022 to address failures in government response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump said in a Time magazine interview Monday that the office isnt necessary.

The office is a way of giving out pork, Trump said. I think it sounds good politically, but I think its a very expensive solution to something that wont work. You have to move quickly when you see it happening.

Bidens campaign blasted Trump for the idea, pointing to the former presidents response to the COVID pandemic outbreak in early 2020 as lackluster and without a clear plan.

Pandemic preparedness isnt abstract to the millions of Americans that lost a loved one because of Donald Trumps failed response to COVID-19, campaign spokesman Kevin Munoz said in a statement to The Hill.

We know the impact of Trumps inability to lead all too well: an economy in shambles, schools closed down, and far too many American lives needlessly lost, he continued. We cannot afford to go back.

What could go wrong he must really hate America being ready for a pandemic the mans a loon

Well let's hope another viral agent doesn't show up in the event Trumps wins.

Said the man who presided over a 9/11's worth of dead Americans every day for months because of his slow, disjointed, incompetent response.

Both sides tho?

there's still a pandemic?

He moved quickly...to assure the public that there was nothing to fear. Meanwhile, he was shitting his pants over Covid in a private interview with Bob Woodward.

He probably thinks his response was better than what any team would do.

Sounds about right lmao. He's so fucking stupid and petty.

It's an Endemic now as it's here to stay. The response team is for future potential pandemics.

I'm gonna buy a whiteboard and just keep a tally, holy shit.

Biden, for all the frustrating flaws, is surely doing something right if Trump is trying to reverse it out of spite.

Of course mister 'Biggest tax cuts for the rich' is suddenly concerned about price when poor people can benefit from something.

I don't see why anyone should care, tbh. It just seems really rude, imo, to shit up other peoples' topics just to bring this up, when it literally doesn't matter.

neat. what a great idea. i'm sure nothing in the past 5 years would give any reason to have a pandemic response unit. seems like wasteful spending, why would we EVER need anything like that?

A vote for Biden means we'll still have a pandemic response unit.

Seems like the easy fix is to stop acting like your intentional ignorance is worth anything.

Yet another thing that we literally have him on tape doing that repubs just conveniently ignore.
