... In a dialogue with Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, live-streamed by the Trump campaign on Monday evening, McConnell said that Obama’s team, which exited office over three years ago,“did not leave to this administration, any kind of game plan for something like [the coronavirus pandemic].”
Politico reported in March that the Obama National Security Council left their successors a document titled “Playbook for Early Response to High-Consequence Emerging Infectious Disease Threats and Biological Incidents.” It warned of potential problems like shortages in personal protective equipment that have plagued the nation’s response. The Trump administration neglected to implement its recommendations.
“We literally left them a 69-page Pandemic Playbook.... that they ignored,” tweeted Ron Klain, who oversaw the Ebola response under Obama and now advises presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden. “And an office called the Pandemic Preparedness Office... that they abolished. And a global monitoring system called PREDICT .. that they cut by 75%”
“The maddening thing is Obama left them a WH office for pandemics, a literal playbook, a cabinet-level exercise, and a global infrastructure to deal with ‘something like this,’” tweeted former Obama adviser Ben Rhodes....

I'm sure genius Trump will leave full plans for all viruses that don't exist yet for the next administration.
Meh, it won't matter. Later today Mitch will effectively negate his apology by blaming something else trump is responsible for on Obama. Or he may just shout out "Obamagate" in an attempt to glom onto the latest trump dose of delusional nonsense.

I wish trump would just go back to his urging his cult members to somehow get powerful light inside their bodies and take advantage of injections of disinfectant. I feel this would be the best thing for them and for us, all things considered. I am rather intrigued with the notion of somehow being able to ingest a strobe light and then be able to have the cartoon effect of being lit up so brightly that your skeleton is visible from the outside when the light is on. I will decline the injections, though. OBAMAGATE! HOAX! WITCH HUNT! PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT! CLOROX!
