He did a good job of having our manufacturers produce supplies.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Thursday he was mistaken in claiming that the Obama administration had failed to leave a pandemic playbook for the Trump White House.

A playbook, but no supplies. Obama didn't even follow the guidelines of his own playbook that required keeping an adequate stock. There was no air of emergency until the Chit hit the fan. Then everything had to be geared up from scratch.

Too late to blame China and the WHO for Tweety's failures, you might be able to get a few weeks or at most a month out of that but we are the only developed nation that is still fighting a growing pandemic 4 months later. Probably Bidens fault

So now your narrative is changing from he didn't start soon enough to now its too late. He started when it became clear that China and the WHO had lied. What is it too late for? Fauci thinks that we can turn the corner.

And this virus, like the flu, is not going away. We can, like the flu, mitigate it and contain it to a degree with vaccines and a degree of herd immunity, and further research.

Everything is wonderful in Tweety's world until there is a problem,

It's wonderful for most folks until there is a problem.

then he finds someone to blame.

It's good to find out who did it.

"I take no responsibility at all"

It used to be annoying, but is now farcical how you keep repeating that quote as if Trump constantly says it. The only time I recall it being used by him was in regards to to the CDC's lag in providing test kits. And, as an Atlantic article pointed out " in full context, Trump was referring only to the test kits." And, as well, the Atlantic article further said "in full context, and most-sympathetically read—[it] had a meaning you could understand and perhaps defend. None of that context or meaning survived . . . [and] . . . went from being [a phrase] to [a]weaponized symbol . . . You, in effect, are lying and stripping it of it's original context and weaponizing it in order to constantly bash Trump.


"You'll have to ask my lawyer"

That's a perfectly good thing to say. There are times when a lawyer should do the answering.

“China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency.”

That was pitiful attempt at diplomacy. He still had hopes of securing a trade deal with China. I've said many times that China was in no position to make a fair deal, unless the CCP wanted to commit political suicide. I think, rightly so, that has all gone sour now. But, who knows, if Trump gets re-elected, much to China's chagrin, and the rest of the world wises up about China's intentions, the CCP may have to come to some agreement or face a revolt.
