President Donald Trump refused to accept any responsibility for the slow rate of coronavirus testing in the United States, saying on Friday that he was "given a set of circumstances" that wasn't meant for the high numbers of potential COVID-19 infections.
During the briefing, NBC's Kristen Welker asked Trump whether he took responsibility for the testing lag, which one member of his own task force called "a failing." During the earliest stages of the outbreak, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention distributed faulty tests to state and local health departments. Once the flawed tests were discovered and discarded, bureaucratic red tape held up the process of granting exemptions to private labs to make their own tests.
"If you go back to the swine flu, it was nothing like this, they didn't do testing like this, and they lost approximately 14,000 people. They started thinking about testing when it was far too late," Trump said. "The Obama administration made a decision on testing that turned out to be very detrimental to what we're doing, and we undid that decision a few days ago so that the testing can take place in a much more accurate and rapid fashion," Trump said at a White House meeting with airline executives in early March.
The buck does not stop here.
He should pack up now
It's Obamas' or may Bush's
Vow, is this moron the POTUS?
Where the f$k does the b$k stop. Leaders take responsibly. Oh, that's right. You're no leader. IMPOTUS
How can he if he needs to play another round of golf
Stupid tweet. Why does the news constantly project crap?
Come a loooong way from 'the buck stops here'.
The previous democrat administration designed the process... throw it out
It was Tiffany's fault!
CNBC can do better than this—Tiresome that leftist media focuses on the 1 negative in a brilliant, lengthy Presidential presentation re: our country’s health and welfare—-SHAME on CNBC etal, nothing but shameless media trolls-
What financial relief is the Government going to carry out for average American? I went to the hospital to get tested and now stuck with a $2000 bill which includes my deductible and co-payment. UHC won't cover. What do American has to do to get access to this financial relief?
Trump is right. Blame the CDC.
Never his problem I guess us little people are fault so shame on us we need to do a better job🤡🤡🤡
E chi se la prende? Mia nonna?
The job of the CDC. If you spread responsibility, you have no accountability.
He went from Democratic HOAX to National Emergency.
Leadership: Whatever happens, you’re responsible. If it doesn’t happen, you’re responsible. Donald Trump 11/8/13.
So now you attack him for not doing enough when a little over a month ago you said he overreacting. Quit politicalizing this CNBC. Why don't you find the origins of the Coronavirus and go from there. Here is a good start. Check out the date.
Keep in mind it was not only the White House that knew. It was congress too and the CDC. Many in congress, like their allies in the media, accused President's Trump was over reacting for stopping some flights out of China in late January. You said was xenophobic and racist
CNBC along with your cohorts in the media attacked President Trump when he began blocking flights out of China back in January. You accused him of being racist and a xenophob for it. Furthermore, President Trump was responding to what China was saying and CDC suggested.
He doesn't take responsibility for anything.
..... said the future former President
Leftists have discovered CNBC judging by the comments
