So Donald Trump today criticized the World Health Organization for the #COVID19 pandemic getting out of hand and said it didn't do enough in warning countries about it. And said it's "China-centric." But in reality, there's no one to blame but Trump himself. Here's a thread:
Let's go back to 2017. The Obama administration walked Trump officials about a hypothetical pandemic that would be worse than the 1918 Spanish flu. They KNEW there could be shortages of ventilators. 66% of the officials no longer serve in the White House #COVID19
In May 2018, Trump's biodefense preparedness team warned that a flu pandemic was the country's NUMBER ONE security threat. What did the administration do? Slowly dismantle the global health security office. Obama began it after the Ebola outbreak it and made it permanent #COVID19

February 28: Donald Trump calling the coronavirus the Democrats' new hoax in a political rally
In fact, Trump kept downplaying #COVID19 in tweets end of February and beginning of March. On March 24, when nations are locking down - Trump wanted to open up the country on April 12 for Easter which would be in 5 days.

The fact is Trump kept downplaying the coronavirus, called it a flu several times, said the number of cases will soon be 0, blamed it on everyone but himself, and took too long to take considerable action in combatting #COVID19.
