Did Trump try to cut the CDC's budget as Democrats claim?: ANALYSIS.

said that, “during the president’s tenure, every part of our preparedness and infectious disease program activity has been enhanced and expanded.”

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar testifies before the Senate Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies Subcommittee on Capitol Hill, Feb. 25, 2020. But it’s not just the president’s budget proposals that are under the microscope as fears of a new coronavirus outbreak mount. Bloomberg also took aim at Trump for eliminating a position from the National Security Council responsible for coordinating administration efforts to combat infectious disease.“The president fired the pandemic specialist in this country two years ago,” Bloomberg said. “So, there's nobody here to figure out what the hell we should be doing.

“Families concerned about the novel coronavirus threat need to know the NSC has a dedicated, senior official with appropriate expertise and authority to address the domestic and global health threats from the virus,” they wrote. “It is of paramount importance that this person approaches this role though a public health lens.”The senators requested a response by Feb. 27, but the NSC did meet that deadline, nor did it respond to a request for comment from ABC News.

there is no emergency over the virus, The allegations that come from fake news and the democrats will back fire on them, Using analysis to lie the people can still sue the news for the lies they have been telling, Fake news is more dangerous then the virus right now

Thanks to the 'WOKE' Congress that stopped him everytime he tried to do it - otherwise America would have been forced to face Trump's truckloads of BS on a mega-fan.

The educated would know it didn’t but if u follow the fake news u would think he did!

Fake news here.

No

Do a story about how our incompetent Canadian government is using their government funded propaganda arm ‘CBC’ to publish stories calling Canadians ‘racist’ and ‘discriminatory’’ for wanting our gov to stop all travel to infected areas. Economy Canadian lives apparently

Good one

No

Yes. Yes he did. He also dismantled the Pandemic Response office in 2018.

Next analysis reads: 'Trump increases national debt by trillions! Jeopardizes the country!' Come on people! How are we going to get out of debt if we don't tighten the belt on EVERY govt program, committee, entity?

And funding for the team that handles possible pandemics?

Is this the same CDC that sang his praises? Are these the cuts to Ebola Researchers in Africa?

This sorta like the Trump Administration's claims that US carbon emissions have gone down on his watch. 'Yeah, because of actions by the cities and states -- while you try to undermine them.'

Maybe realDonaldTrump did want a budget increase and deliberately proposed cuts to CDC funding because he knew the DemocRATS would do the exact opposite of what he proposed and increase the funding.

technically he did, dems restored the money.

First the cuts and next year a new Trump development on the CDC site!

Except this Congress never passed a budget, just mostly CRs.

Like MOST of your one side democrat sponsored “analysis”, it is never anything but a trump blast.

Unfortunate truncation

Well he has the power and congress had agreed to a much higher number so if needed it could be utilized

It's already been analyzed and debunked. Not only been debunked but Trump added funding. It's too easy to debunk the liberal media. Their hate keeps them from anything related to truth.

Duhhhh

Yes

America stands in desperate need of a Surgeon General

Russia, Ukraine & Coronavirus

Are you just welcoming the bots like a bug zapper?

Democrats claimed he cut the budget, you are either lying or inept

SpeakerPelosi and chuckschumer have wasted three months of Congress and senate on hoax of impeachment during the coronavirus crisis starting and ramping

FAKE PRESIDENT ALL PHOTO OPS LIES AND BULLSHIT

Isn't it on record ? 😶

Who was in charge of pandemics a year ago? What plans had been put in place for controlling a pandemic? Were states aware and onboard with the plans? Was there coordination with global health organizations? All these questions should've been answered by Trump long ago...

Under 70 people ( 17 domestic) are confirmed, no deaths

The majority should determine our fate. Sorry Iowa and New Hampshire...time for California and New York to Steer the Ship back on course

It’s in the budget he just submitted to Congress. potus doesn’t believe in giving money to know nothing scientists

of course !!

Of lies!

No ...the only virus spreading at the moment are the Democrats !

It’s time Americans to unite together to combat the virus...don’t put political interests over public health....

🙋‍♀️FAKE NEWS

Did Trump deny coronvirus as a democratic tactic? Yes he did. Far out when will people realise he is mentally not well. I am serious. His lost his marbles. Also his mind. If you find his marbles contact Pence

Stop removing my tweet.

- 'Did Trump try to cut the CDC's budget as Democrats claim?' You are covering. They have claimed he DID (not tried to) cut the CDC budget.

If anyone is in control of the spread of virus or not, they take credit.

Hell no. More lies

Did Trump deny coronvirus as a democratic tactic? Yes he did. Far out when will people realise he is mentally not well. I am serious. His lost his marbles. Also his mind. If you find us marbles contact Pence

Yes. He didn't expand shit.

Democrats didn’t claim he tried. Democrats and liberal media said he slashed the budget. The AP reported all reporting was misleading and inaccurate.

He cut it two years ago. Not amid the Coronavirus.

He cut it 2018. Gutted it.

No, he didn't.

YES. Jesus .

Doubtful

Hell no

Trump also defended proposed budget cuts to the CDC by saying that he's a 'businessperson, I don't like having thousands of people around when you don't need them.' maddow Probably lies maddow Wahhhhh. I dont like Trump. Wahhhhh maddow Because MS. One Suit Conspiracy Theorists who can hype out someone paying 38 million in income taxes for two hours is my go to for factual information.
