    Really, Obama and Biden had 7 years to replenish the stockpiles they used for H1N1, somehow that shortage is Trump's fault. 95 million N95 masks and 19.5 million pieces of PPE don't just appear overnight.

    Please show us where in the budget there is unlimited amounts of money to replenish 95 million masks and 19.5 million pieces of PPE? I never said Trump was blameless, however Obama and Biden are responsible for 60+% of it.

    That blame is NOT equal. It was Obama/Biden that used them in the first place, they share an unequal portion of the burden to replace. Please show me where in the budget there was unlimited amounts of money to get it done.

    If the blame is uneven it falls more on the man who allowed the shortfall to persist until the start of the emergency. Trump did nothing. Zero. Nada. Zilch. For three years. Accept that.

    He was briefed on exactly this scenario and did nothing

    So what's Obama's excuse? He had years and did nothing.

    Are The Bidens connected to any Chinese SOE's that sell masks, gloves or other medical products?

    The guy in the hoodie looks more 'presidential', but Obama was one of the better DP Presidents.

    Yes he should have, but he wouldn't have had to if Obama had done his job, but here we are.

    Who ever said unlimited funds was needed?
    You seem resorted to making stuff up lately.

    3 yrs tRUMP had to replenish. If he or anyone thought it was a concern.

    Obama and Biden let it persist for 7 years till it was somebody else's problem, that says a lot about Obama and Biden's character. They are the ones who used those stores.

    Now the Democrats want to put the second banana of that reckless administration in as President. Biden and Obama did nothing. Zero. Nada. Zilch. For seven years. Accept that.

    Obama went through 95 million masks and 19.5 million pieces of PPE and had 7 years to replace them......they just didn't, ignoring requests to do so.

    What a disingenuous load of crap. You'd have more of a point if the pandemic happened during year one and not 3. But to take this line of reasoning now? C'mon, it's just dishonest.

    The question has been answered several times! It's hypocritical to bash obama for not replenishing the supply and then giving trump a pass for the same lack of action. I'm ok with calling obama incompetent but trump is no better.

    No, it's no one's fault the supply was depleted (I know you aren't being honest with this argument. You aren't alone).
    It's obamas fault the N95 mask stock pile was not replenished when he was in office.
    It's trump fault the N95 mask stock pile was not replenished while he is in office.
    See?
