Trump’s latest eyebrow-raising remarks came a day after his former VP, Mike Pence, said that he could not “in good conscience” endorse the former president in his run this year.
The last two dem>gop Presidential transitions followed a similar template.
When Clinton handed off to Bush, he warned of Osama Bin Laden as priority #1–the Bush whitehouse welcomed the idea as a pretense to invade Iraq, so nothing was done and the attacks happened.
When Obama handed off to Trump, he warned of pandemic threat and the response team which was put together to mitigate a pandemic’s spread before reaching US shores—the Trump Whitehouse did less than nothing, they actually shut down the response team and welcomed the pandemic to come (likely at Putin’s direction, I can’t imagine Trump being so selectively focused on budgeting, unless directed by his boss).
Yeah, Obama got lucky and learned a big lesson from it, tried to pass on that lesson to his successor and it fell on deaf ears. I mean really, it’s not a surprise, the contempt shown was beyond political, it was pathological.
When Trump/pandemic is brought up I say, “It could have happened to any President, but it was definitely going to happen to Trump.”
