        1. He didn't release emergency funds, though he'd pledged to. Current public health emergency fund has only $57000.http://bit.ly/2ljzqG6

        Ok, compare him to Obama all you like - it doesn’t make what he (didn’t) do any less important. He is not committing any $ to the issue.

        Thanks for the condescension considering you are incorrect. Nat’l emergency comes with rapid $ allocation. PHE does not, he requested no $
