Here is the timeline of what tRump followed from Jan. Trump was playing down the risks to the United States, and he would later go on to say that no one could have predicted such a devastating outcome. At his rallies he called the pandemic a DEMOCRATIC HOAX. Trump and the CONS have always been PARTY OVER COUNTRY, WEALTHY OVER POOR, SHAREHOLDERS OVER LABOR AND THE MIDDLE CLASS
If Trump had listened to the advice from "the Obama administration" he was given BACK IN 2017, he wouldn't have disbanded the CDC pandemic division and we most likely wouldn't be in this situation. That said, this goes WAAAAAY back before January 2020 and a futile attempt at stopping flights from China. I also find it interesting how history has repeated itself. Another RepubliCon president ignored the previous administrations warnings about the man Osama bin Laden and his al-qaeda terrorist organization. We know the result of that snub. Can we afford this mentality and incompetence in our highest levels of leadership?
