September 2014 the EBOLA outbreak was rampaging threw West Africa. Dozens of people were infected daily. The Healthcare officials in Africa were losing the battle because they were not equipped.

But across the Atlantic Ocean the US had a President Barrack Obama who had what’s called a Pandemic team as part of the NSC in the White House that advised Obama on how to respond. As a matter of fact this pandemic team reported to Obama during at his daily national security briefings. Obama was briefed daily on potential viruses. And Trump does not even attends he sends Jared Kushner. Immediately after the first EBOLA case hit the US Obama was prepared so under the advice of his national pandemic team dispatched almost 3000 Army personnel who were highly qualified to address a pandemic and dispatched them to Africa to build treatment facilities necessary to stop the spread of EBOLA and fight this invisible enemy at its origin.

Due to the highly trained Obama pandemic team the world’s most powerful and trained military was the hope that was needed and was the turning point in in the fight against EBOLA. Soon within weeks the number of infected began to decline and within months the worst EBOLA outbreak in recorded history was under control. Thanks to Obama and his quick response in turning thousands of brave Liberians, Guineans, and Sierra Leoneans health care providers who were trained on how to treat the EBOLA virus, suppling testing facilities, supplying personal protection equipment everything needed to fight an enemy you cannot see. The world now looked at Obama’s plan that became a model for fighting epidemics. Just to mention that these military pandemic team that got dispatched not one was infected with EBOLA because Obama made damm sure they had the Personal Protective Equipment needed to protect these people.

Result: 11 cases of EBOLA in this country 2 deaths and 7 cured.

There are other outbreaks that are ongoing today around the world that could eventually hit the US. But Trumps State Department won’t allow Americans first responders from the CDC to respond. He actually disbanded the foreign response team.

This time the US army pandemic team is not coming because Trump disbanded the Obama team and if Trump is re-elected this country may not ride to the recuse to fight these outbreaks at there origin and just sit back and wait till it gets in the US. Then blame everybody else Hoax created by democrats Fake News by CNN and his old faithful blame Schiff and Pelosi for a national pandemic. So this country got invaded by an invisible enemy and Trump blames the states for there slow response.

Just quick note for the Trump supporters.

This country spends $795 billion to build a military to defend this country against foreign adversaries that would certainly want to invade this country. The US builds military base in countries all around the world with our allies for example because the US is part of NATO that Trump wants leave. And if he leaves we have to remove these bases.
But those bases are built to protect this country if another world war broke out we are prepared to fight that war on foreign soil. Not on US soil.

But Trump felt the need to disband a team that was in place to defend this country from an invisible enemy and had absolutely no response for 3months. Obama did understand because he had a team of people that understood what a virus like this could do to this country. He attacked that invisible EBOLA virus on foreign soil.

If this country continues with Trump can you imagine during WWII if Trump was president and the US just sat back and waited for the Germans to invade this country. No this country had the leaders that understood we either fight them over there or wait till the Germans come here. It’s the same with the invisible enemy and Obama understood that because he had a qualified pandemic team in place and military personal that were trained on how to fight the invisible enemy.

But what this nation has is an invisible enemy that attacked this country and the Trump response for 3 months was a hoax, Fake News, and blame the governors for there slow response.

Just imagine this country attacked by a foreign adversary and we had a president like Trump that did nothing for three months then blamed the states for not being prepared. Well this country got invaded by an invisible enemy and in no wave shape or form was this country prepared because Trump disbanded the National Pandemic team and had no advisors how to inform him on how to respond. So while he panicked he used the blame game while for three months trying to scramble and put a pandemic team in place as this virus spread throughout the US causing death and now economic ruins.

So Trump was asked the question how do you rate your response to the national pandemic: Trumps answer I rate it at a 10. ?????????

Is Trump with his $795 billion defense budget that he brags how he made this country safe and how Obama destroyed the defense of this country even though Obama Defense Budget was at $745 billion.

Just look at how Trump spent those tax dollars and the condition of this country today and his answer is the states were slow to response and blame WHO.

I would say: if we don't need reliable, decent, safe, affordable healthcare in this country-We won't need to worry about spending money on a military-since no one will be healthy enough to join it. And we'll be a push-over for an invasion. We'll save money on both. 2 Trillion dollars well spent.

President Trump DID NOT "disband" the White House pandemic team. National Security Advisor, John Bolton, re-organized it to make it more efficient.

I'm sure Preston's book is quite revealing, but I'll have to disagree with the two of you when it comes to the White House pandemic team. From everything I've read, Trump cut the team as a cost cutting measure in 2018.

Bolton reorganized the team to make it more efficient - streamlined it. Something more efficient is less costly.

Neat and tidy, wouldn't you say??!!?? I'm just thankful at this moment in time that I live in the woods.

What are you searching for out there in the woods? Place to hide? Bambi? A tree to hug?

OMG Did Bolton work for Trump are you saying Bolton disbanded the national Pandemic Team without consulting Trump and you find nothing wrong. Here comes the Trump supporters always justifying Trump stupidity.

Actually Trump knew because his National Intel Director over 3 years was asking Trump when he was going to put that pandemic team back together.

Airforceone

There some truth to that statement.

Airforceone

Where the hell did you come up with that comment Bolton and Trump disbanded it and the National intel direct since 2017 has written a number of memos to Trump to please put that team back together. I don’t know where you people come up with this garbage.

Airforceone

Yes he did
👍

Airforceone

That is a flat out lie

LOL...Nope....the woods are my sanctuary. Bambi, the trees, my llamas, the coyotes, and bears, and an occasional mountain lion....I am most content with, moved from D.C. to rural VA 19 years ago. When I joined OPP some years back, I was "searching" for answers, for an understanding of how and why others think the way they do who are "not like me". I didn't then, and I don't now like the division in this great country of ours. While my neighbors all live more than a mile away from me, they present an eclectic challenge, from the KKK to survivalists, and anything in between. I thought OPP would be a safe place (now, that's funny) for me to expand my horizons, while not risking physical violence. It's not a wise thing here to speak your truths. The things that I did not expect to find here are that some are not at all who they want to be seen as, hidden agendas are vast, and trolls just want to have fun....oh, and the anonymity a computer screen lends gives some the luxury of saying abusive and disrespectful things they would never dream of saying to another face to face. I ignore that last one, and as to the rest, I sort through the dregs and come up with kernels of truth. Aren't you glad you asked....
