CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/JOE BIDEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “It was clear to me that when the Trump administration transitioned from [the Barack Obama administration], they had no interest in talking about pandemics. We warned them about them. We had been concerned there would be future pandemics. We had set up an office within the White House to have a pandemic office. They just disregarded all of it and it was clear to me at that time the president had no sense: no sense of science, no sense of responsibility. It just really worried me that he was both qualified and competent to deal with something like this. It’s not anything he’s ever dealt with or had any inclination to deal with.”
