LETS get this straight. TRUMP is the entrenched establishment.

You dont have to go thru all them gymnastics. They are streamlining all that. Now they say, hey, you were going to lose two million. We are well ahead of the curve.
I use facts and that's not one.
 
The Federal response has been pretty good. The ban on flights from China was timely. The organization of the task force was a good move and putting the VP in charge gave it clout. Production of masks, respirators and other consumable medical supplies were assisted. Another example is the vaccine which is expected before year end, instead of two to five years from now.

Preparation: nonexistent.
Travel quarantines: botched.
Testing development: botched.
National testing strategy: nonexistent.
National coordination function: nonexistent/actively harmful.
National contact tracing strategy: nonexistent.
National data collection: botched.
PPE production: too little too late; shortages persist eight months in.
Public leadership: actively harmful.

One of the worst presidential performances we've ever seen. The "results" speak for themselves.

Wow. You got a handout. I am so impressed.

It would be helpful if it was even slightly accurate, but it isn't. In some cases, it's completely wrong. Testing development is an example. The federal government made major strides in getting broad scale testing to the public. CDC tests in the hundreds, with a multi day delay in most cases. We can now test in the hundreds of thousands with wait time in minutes.

‘We’re going to get it done’: Governors mobilize to fill Trump’s testing gap
Two weeks ago, while struggling to reopen schools and drive down infection rates without a national effort to improve and coordinate access to testing, Hogan pulled together six state leaders to take a drastic step: Try to build one on their own.

The coalition struck an immediate chord among governors, with so many states eager to join that Hogan paused enrollment at 10 out of fear that it would be unable to obtain enough tests. Now, the group is nearing an agreement to purchase 5 million rapid coronavirus tests, in a first-of-its-kind deal designed to slash testing turnaround times and fortify their states ahead of a potentially vicious Covid-19 resurgence in the fall.
On its own, the purchase won’t immediately fix a vast testing shortfall that has hindered the nation’s pandemic response for months. But its architects hope it will create a new, more reliable pipeline for crucial supplies wholly separate from the federal government yet large enough to grab the attention of private manufacturers.

The White House for months has resisted appeals from states and public health experts to organize a nationwide testing operation to ramp up manufacturing of test kits and supplies and coordinate their distribution, as outbreaks swept first across the Northeast and then into the South and West.

The federal non-response is one of the worst failures in living memory.

I'm glad you got out of your echo chamber long enough look around. Maybe next time you can find something that helps your case.

Your own article states that the President put this in the hands of state and local government. Trump did his part by making the tests available. Yet, you find fault with the cooperation. :doh

Still with the lie. I guess facts don't matter to you.

Results do speak, but you don't listen. Hint: they are not atrocious.
