You're quotes by Trump are selected out of broader contexts. And many were off the cuff remarks that reflected the general consensus being narrated by WHO, the Dems, the MSM, as well. Pasting them all together as a timeline without also inserting them within "the big picture" is obviously meant to slant against Trump.

And some points are misleading such as saying the travel ban was not a travel ban. It absolutely was a ban, as it stated, on foreign nationals, and the Americans that were still "traveling" were basically those who were returning from China.

Several bullet points were actually failures of the federal administrative agencies to be appropriately stocked before Trump was elected, as well and even more telling, failures of State and local agencies to have maintained supplies and readiness,exemplified by New York where a great percentage of the outbreak has occurred. And the testing delays were directly attributable the failure of the CDC to create test kits when it tried to invent a better test than was already being used by other countries and WHO, and the created kits were faulty so were returned after sparse use until the CDC finally, sort of, got it right. The delays in kits, and supplies was a failure of the whole entrenched bureaucracy at all levels of government. Trump had to lead the effort to correct that failure, which pretty much has happened.
