He disbanded the pandemic unit!!! It doesn't get any more incompetent than this

This one action is so incredibly stupid and reckless, lacking ANY kind of foresight and concern for the American people it's CRIMINAL!

I know this has been pointed out many times but I was just out on a walk thinking about this and the entire time I was walking I was thinking about how just bizarre this action was. Who does that? What President would EVER consider doing such a ridiculous thing? I just can't get over how DUMB and utterly strange this action was! Now we have chaos, not nearly enough testing, no good planning, had no one to really warn the Administration that this needed to be taken extremely seriously very early on. Total clusterfuck on an epidemic level! This alone should end his Presidency EASILY not counting the other million incompetent and corrupt things he has done.

It was not "incompetent"-- it was deliberate, and Bolton was in charge of the foul deed. nt Hekate Mar 2020 #12

We are about to witness the worst Senior/Elderly GENOCIDE ever in history...........

The Republicans, through their deliberate actions/inactions, will destroy the people needing Social Security and Medicare.

Then he turns around looking for "Tony".

Seriously, it can't get much weaker than that. She got him good on that question. I hope we make that "Ask Tony" clip into a general election ad.

Rather, you keep a pandemic response team because pandemics happen. Would you disband the army just because there hadn't been a war in a couple of years?

It seems like the entire Republican apparatus, from Trump on down, has only one goal: break America.

He said he was saving money by eliminating this agency, so did he try to divert their money to his goddamn vanity wall?
