Trump again blames Obama for leaving behind 'empty shelf' of medical supplies
President Trump has once again blamed former President Barack Obama for a problem he had a few years to sort out.
In a Monday morning interview with Fox & Friends, Trump praised the "great relationship" he's built with governors across the country throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. That's because Trump has apparently restocked the "empty shelf" of medical supplies he claimed he inherited from the previous administration. "Just like we had no ammunition ... well we didn't have very much in terms of medical product either."

It's not the first time Trump has complained about the "empty shelf" Obama left behind. He used that same "empty shelf" phrasing in a recent press conference, despite the fact that Trump has been in office for more than three years.
