Trump: "Sir, we have no ammunition"

At his 'virus news conference' today Trump said that the first week of his presidency,
a general came to him and said "Sir, we have no ammunition",
implying that was the condition Obama left the country in,
and implying that's why he got off to a bad start with the virus.

some time as a government employee, I know that when one person leaves everything that goes wrong is because some failure of the previous employee. After about two weeks that defense no longer flies. Trump has been in total control for over three years, it is time to sit down and shut up about Obama.

Oh, and that has something to do with the coronavirus. And you've been in office for over three years- of hell on earth, by the way.

about making the country stronger than it ever was before. So what is it after 3-1/2 years? As weak as he claims it was because of Obama or stronger like no one has ever seen before?

He can't have it both ways.
