WASHINGTON — One of President Donald Trump’s top economic advisers is criticizing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s early response to the coronavirus outbreak, saying it “let the country down” after initial delays with testing.
TLDR: Navarro " I got this job because Jared googled my name!"
But ignore the tests already proven to work that the WH wouldn’t accept from WHO.
It was kinda nauseating watching Navarro giving Trump a virtual blowjob on the tv machine this morning…
Make that very nauseating…
The. buck stops, stops uh stops over there!
Way over there.
Different face, exact same activity.
Gee, if only there was some authority outside the CDC’s in-house leadership with the power to make them get their act together. OAN says there used to be, but Obama got rid of it.
Navarro is the ultimate tool…classless, limitless lapdog. He needs to donate his spine so he can slither better…he certainly won’t need it.
So just fire the CDC, then. Problem solved. Right? Right?
I think the plan is “blame someone else, and the problem is solved.”
Is that virtual marital infidelity? I guess it depends on what your definition of “is” is.
If only Obama had been this wise when he was President. {Sigh}
This is insane. They act as if the CDC is a part of another branch of government or an independent entity. It’s not. It’s Trump’s CDC. What Navarro is doing here is calling out Trump as an abject failure, though he’s too stupid to realize that.
WH Adviser Navarro Throws CDC Under The Bus
Comical.
The CDC … made some mistakes but has a good reputation earned over decades.
Whereas Navarro … made some mistakes.
Navarro is correct on this point: The CDC under the Trump appointed CDC director (Redfield) FAILED at testing. They had to make their NEW test and they had no back-up plan or plan to mass produce the test. The “rules” the CDC implemented for testing were so restrictive that almost no one could even get a test (you had to have severe symptoms AND have been in contact with someone from Wuhan, China). The CDC has been one of the preeminent public health agencies in the world, but they were directed from above and they screwed up. The agency needs to be re-organized from the top and they need a whole new pandemic response team to learn from the mistakes they made. South Korea used an American company to make tests, they had tests available to test ANYONE, they invented drive in testing, they halted the coronavirus and have had 5 deaths/million, while the US has 273 deaths/million (over 50X fewer deaths/million). So the US could have done what South Korea did, but we didn’t. It was either bad decision making at the top of the CDC or it was political influence from the Trump administration - in any case, it cost lives, it was pathetically ineffective and it was just plain stupid.
Shall we start a pool to guess the day Navarro is fired? We know it’s only a matter of time!
It’s like firing the pandemic response team. I believe Trump said he didn’t know anything about it. Funny how he has not gotten back to us with the results of his investigation.
Funny.
“Too late, Luthor”
Trump has made too many misteaks and Navarro can’t get Trump out of the FUBAR he’s in.
There will be no “come back to work” Hollywood ending.
All hail Jared Manos, and his hands of fate.
Trump’s too busy rage tweeting because Obama hurt his fee fees last night.
