So the whole "liberals criticizing Trump for acting too quickly" isn't a real thing.
Reading through the article it looks like the Dems have some valid criticisms. Trump did contradict scientists, the CDC is underfunded, parts of the country aren't getting enough testing kits, and now that Trump has referred to this as a hoax we can expect a lot more criticism to come his way.
First of all: Trump contradicts A LOT of so called "experts". And that's not a bad thing, because he's often more right than the so called experts. But for the sake of argument, exactly what has Trump done wrong? He acted quickly to stop air travel; acted quickly to start evaluating the contagion; already has testing kits in the field; and has bypassed some of the FDA testing to get new kits in the field as soon as possible.
Secondly:
FY 2018 Budget in Brief - CDC
CDC Budget Totals—Less Funds from Other Sources 2016 2017 2018
CDC Budget Totals—Less Funds from Other Sources 2016 2017 2018
Full-Time Equivalents 11,806 11,948 11,948
Thirdly: Testing kits are being developed, reviewed, approved, and distributed as we speak. Did you think they were already on the shelves BEFORE THE DISEASE APPEARED?!?
And Finally: The "HOAX" is that "the Trump Administration is negligent".
Personally, I think there are TWO diseases which have infected our nation, and YOU have one of them: TDS! :)
