And um, when does one have to stop blaming the previous administration for the current's failings? He did not inherit a "dysfunctional CDC" that is pure BS. He has called COVID-19 a hoax, that it would but just like the cold, that you could go to work with it, and that the number would "soon be zero" (number of cases).

He has no idea what he is doing and only cares about his own reelection regardless of the risk that puts Americans in.

Yes, the best way to fix something dysfunctional is to slash its budget, repeatedly make statements contrary to what they actually say, and downplay worldwide pandemics.

Without conceding the point of prior dysfunction, I have to say that trump has yet to find a bad situation that he can’t make worse.

Right, which is why he shut down the division created to plan and prepare for pandemics, and terminated the position created to organize the response for a pandemic.

The CDC was so dysfunctional that by the swift signing of a pen the CDC has been made great again.

Of course, it took him 2+ months to actually sign the document that waived restrictions (which were Bush era, anyways, and any decent government creates laws for the norms, but provides power to override them in case of an out of the norm situation, which Trump waited 2 months to do because he insisted it must be business as usual).
