It's very important that we all remember the unwarranted outrage and criticism Republicans leveled on President Obama and his response to the Ebola virus outbreak. And Trump of all people, even tweeted that Obama should apologize to the American people, and resign. And this was after only 11 reported Ebola cases and 2 deaths in America.
Republican Darrell Issa, said the response had been inept, characterized by over-confidence and ill-considered procedures to protect U.S. healthcare workers at home.
“Any further fumbles, bumbles or missteps ... can no longer be tolerated,” Issa told a hearing of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Then-Rep. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said Obama was “not protecting our country and our families from Ebola,” suggesting the administration was not doing enough to combat the disease.
Ted Cruz called Obama’s Ebola response “fundamentally unserious."
Ultimately, the ebola outbreak resulted in 11 confirmed cases and only two deaths in the U.S. Obama’s quick response to the virus included deploying nearly 3,000 service members to West Africa to help contain the outbreak there..
Because of Obama's leadership, the Ebola virus did not spread in the US. There were only two deaths from the disease in the country, and both of them were people who contracted it in Africa. History has proven that the Obama administration’s response to the Ebola virus was competent and effective.
Trump tweet, 10/23/14
"If this doctor, who is reckless flew into New York from West Africa has Ebola, then Obama should apologize to the American people & resign."
Today there have been more than 6.42 million confirmed coronavirus cases in the US, and 195K deaths.
So after 195k coronavirus deaths, what should Trump do?
Well lets see, not only should he resign, he should first drop to his knees and apologize to America for the needless loss of so many American lives. He should then get on his knees, and apologize to Obama, and beg him for forgiveness. He should then turn himself into authorities and admit to his criminal negligence, dereliction duty, and to violating his oath of office.
"What President Obama did leave Trump, was a global health infrastructure that we had set up, informed by the lessons of the Ebola outbreak,” Ben Rhodes, Former Deputy National Security Adviser under Obama said, referring to the NSC pandemic directorate that was dismantled by Trump in 2018.
Trump has defended his record, arguing, “I’m a "businessperson." I don’t like having thousands of people around when you don’t need them. When we need them, we can get them back very quickly.”
But experts argue that’s not how pandemic preparedness works, and that's definitely not how a virus works. “You build a fire department ahead of time,” Tom Inglesby, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security stated. “You don’t wait for a fire.”
