This underscores his absolute and total incompetence and lack of fitness for anything.

most of oct 2014 screaming every day on world net daily to hype it and push it into rw media - talk radio - to stoke the fear and blame obama and get out the dittohead vote. it all disappeared right after the vote.

the recent ebola outbreak in the congo was exacerbated by a social media campaign (radio too?) in congo to get congolese to attack the clinics and help spread it. that was accompanied by accusations on talk radio that congolese were joining the immigrant 'caravans' 'assaulting' the southern border

they needed to break up the task force to make it work better and maybe trump didn't know shit about it - someone did, and mediaa needs to look at it like that.

they were getting ready to use ebola, a scary visual, to disrupt elections and corona caught them by surprise. an actual disaster they have no clue how to deal with and use because it's actually going to get their base too in large numbers

media needs to put 2 and 2 together

It's nice to have video evidence just handed to you!

Mayor Mike: here's s no brainer ad you can produce in no time.

"Russia, if you're listening, this is proof positive about what a dumba*s your tyrant-for-life picked as his puppet! Spasibo!"

WORTH REPEATING: In 2018, Trump fired the entire US pandemic response team.

These were the experts with decades of experience dealing with precisely the kind of situation we are in today.

Trump did not replace them.

He eliminated the positions.

All this to save a buck, so he can grift it later.

A woman, better yet a black woman and out comes the misogynist's lingo. I HATE HIM.

If there is Karma, he will have/get this virus and die in front of us, mid-sniff and during a presser when a woman is asking a question. I will have my party shoes on.

Cheeto is more of a Baron Harkonnen type.

Besides the corruption and general despotism, the Baron lusted after his nephew; Cheeto, after his daughter.

To paraphrase what he responded with:
"That was a nasty question" (Clearly doesn't like the question)
"I didn't disband the pandemic team, we have a group of people that take care of that." (I'm an Ignoramous)
"Let's ask Tony about that" (Passing the buck)
"Sure it was my administration, but people get let go all time" (We fire people all the time)
"You're not working for the same news agency as before" (See, you got fired in the past)

Unbelievable that this A$$ has a following.
