Failures of the Administrative State in the Pandemic Crisis
This isn’t the time to change our leadership in the White House. It’s time to change the government the person in the White House oversees. The American people deserve better.

Within the next couple of weeks, the American people will have a clearer sense of how great a challenge our nation faces in the months and potentially years ahead. Despite Democrats’ insistent focus on making this pandemic crisis about President Trump and his Administration—and the media happily jumping on that bandwagon—there are facts that cannot be ignored, and many of them are things the Democrat members of Congress (or former members of the Obama Administration) don’t want the American people to know.
Recall that Democrats like David Axelrod and members of the Obama national security team attempted to claim that the Trump Administration had “gutted†or “eliminated†the National Security Council’s “pandemic†desk. That turned out to be a lie. In fact, the Trump White House had reorganized that team to better coordinate with other parts of the federal government.
Then there were Democrat efforts to claim that the Obama Administration’s efforts to address the “swine flu†epidemic in 2009 were peerless. This despite the fact that Obama didn’t move forcefully on the issue until millions of Americans were infected and a thousand dead.
The fact is that the same challenges the Trump Administration has faced over the past month—lack of testing, lack of coordination at the federal level—were endemic a decade ago.
