Early on, someone pointed out that if we over-react we will never know for sure. If we under-react, we will know immediately.

Yep, it's dawning on a lot of people that he is not only a psychopathic liar, not only a classic narcissist with delusions of grandeur, but also an extreme sadist. He enjoys hurting people. He enjoys destroying the environment. If you say one thing against him, he will do everything in his power to ruin your life. I can't imagine howmany law suits he is involved in right now. It was around 90 when his term started.

Editorial: If the pandemic-preparedness cupboard was bare, it was Trump's doing

“We inherited a broken, terrible system …,” Trump told reporters on April 18. “Our cupboards were bare. We had very little in our stockpile.” That was Trump’s attempt, frequently repeated by the president and recycled in White House presentations, to lay responsibility for the inept pandemic response at Obama’s feet, as if three years in office were insufficient for Trump to repair all the supposed damage his predecessor wrought.

Except it’s a lie of colossal Trumpian proportions.

We’ve taken the time to dissect Centers for Disease Control and Prevention budgets from the year before Obama left office all the way to the present. Trump can lie, by the numbers cannot. Obama left office with an unblemished record of building up the nation’s pandemic preparedness. Trump systematically sought to dismantle it.

A DemoRat thinks it’s all Trump’s fault. Shocking absolutely no one.

Our rating: True
We rate this claim TRUE because it is supported by our research. There is no indication that the Obama administration took significant steps to replenish the supply of N95 masks in the Strategic National Stockpile after it was depleted from repeated crises. Calls for action came from experts at the time concerned for the country’s ability to respond to future serious pandemics. Such recommendations were, for whatever reason, not heeded.
Fact check: Did Obama administration deplete N95 mask stockpile?
