No, Trump wanted to close the borders. You called him a racist.

You saw this, right? from 2009, when Obama ran things his way....Schumer called pandemic money "pork." Seems that in her effort to pare down President Obama's stimulus plan, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) specifically called out pandemic flu preparedness as unnecessary. "I think everybody in the room is concerned about a pandemic flu," Collins said on MSNBC. "But does it belong in this bill? Should we have $870 million in this bill? No. We should not." Collins wasn't the only one. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) also bragged of removing the funding: "All those little porky things that the House put in, the money for the [National] Mall or the sexually transmitted diseases or the flu pandemic, they're all out," Schumer said, according to the NY Post.
