				Why did you shut down the pandemic office in the White House
			 
 Trump first calls it a "nasty question." Then says someone else shut it down. "I don't know anything about it." 
Here’s what the Trump* administration did, it was the opposite of the National security plan.

				 | THIS IS JUST MORE FAKE NEWS.  Trump did not shut down the office.  He shrunk the staff (even the Obama Administration said it was bloated) and consolidated three directorates which actually made it "stronger because related expertise could be comingled."  Tim Morrison tells the truth of the matter in the Washington Post in a March 16, 2020 article titled "No, the White House didn't dissolve its pandemic response office, I was there.":https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...sponse-office/ 
The author says it was important to point out the truth because "when people play politics in the middle of a crisis, we are all less safe . . . because the American people have been recklessly scared into doubting the competence of their government to help keep them safe, secure and healthy."
 
This is all part of the long train of lies, fake news, phony investigations, and a phony impeachment.
 
No, Trump did not conspire with Russia.  No he did not obstruct justice or Congress, he did not call the Coronavirus a hoax, he is not a xenophobe, not a racist, not a Nazi supporter, not in Putin's pocket, not a misogynist, not an anti-Semite, not an illiterate idiot, not an unhinged dictator.
 
And he was not responsible for the delay in test kits.  The previous administration had created some regulations that needed to be revised before the kits could be distributed.
 
And he has done a good job, and, contrary to what others have said, he has taken a great deal of responsibility in responding to the Coronavirus pandemic, in spite of the divisive bickering to the contrary.
 
For political purposes, the American people have been "recklessly scared" into believing lies.

				 | Keep reciting the Trump* baloney He’s a con man always has been and always will
 The first crisis not of his own making has come and he is failing
 Monetary policy is being set by Pelosi and Mnuchin
 The ground fighting is being done by the governors
 Trump* is left to play reality TV with his cast of newfound *stars* matinees daily in the Rose Garden while the grownups deal with it.
 They can’t even model the social distancing recommended by the CDC
 We are not in the fools Reality TV show

course he’s changing the subject.  when the subject makes trump 
out to be competent or sympathetic, they change it.  their brains can’t process a thing that doesn’t make him look incompetent or sinister.  
 
It’s what the ‘D’ in TDS stands for.  The people at the CDC are saying he didn’t eliminate the group, that doesn’t stop the sheep from bleating it.

 Yet he did nothing.  How many American lives did that cost?

				 | Now we have dishonest people making up lies again. How is closing all incoming flights from the origin of the virus doing nothing? Quite the agenda for the local drama queens. Nobody is shocked to see this pattern continue.🤡

 |  he didn’t do nothing.  he restricted travel from china, and he did that very early on, which almost certainly helped.  and as we know, CNN, Biden, and Schumer 
attacked him for doing that.

 |  I said that he took the correct first step and then dropped the ball. The nearly two months of delay in test development and deployment is not excusable. When the leader of the government spends months claiming it is a hoax and fake news it trickles down thru the ranks. 
The world has video of him making light of it, over and over again.
 
As I have said time and time again, Trump* gives himself plenty of credit, he gave himself a 10 on the virus response. 
Why do you feel compelled to obediently bow and insist that all others praise him?
