we don't need running this disaster! Republicans in D.C. need to do something to stop him from killing more people. They had a chance to remove him, and now the country is suffering. THEY ALL NEED TO BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE!

Politics: Is a quality that elected officials use, making decisions with subjective factors that would be demeaned inappropriate at any other time or place.

says that on Monday they will make masks.

I am shocked that any US company would step forward to help Trump. He is so insulting and degrading to people, it is embarrassing. He accuses them of what he would be doing if put into the same situation. For instance, jacking up prices...masks going out the back door...

It appears these people had everything lined up and the govt. was the one dragging their feet.

I think we can add VP Pence to the incompetents in this virus project. Items not being shipped, broken equipment being shipped, test kits supposedly being performed, but no test kits available, on and on and on.

I hope the facts get spread far and wide. Let people know just how idiotically venal the idiot in chief can be.

All the rest is a cover story.

With Trump and the grifter crowd, it is always the "where is my cut".

If you don't believe that, where is the evidence that he has suddenly become a leader, a humanitarian, a man of compassion, or simply put a man who now gives a s**t about anyone but himself? None! No evidence of a change!

Missing from the timeline is Trump’s Thursday night comment to Sean Hannity that he didn’t “believe” that NY needed the number of ventilators that they were requesting. I figured Trump’s Friday AM blow-up was just to divert coverage from that display of enormous ignorance.

I think it likely blew up because tRump let his alligators mouth overload his canary ass. Said
they were going to build in Ohio. So he didn’t give a crap that they had sold the plant. He didn’t give a crap that it was an automotive plant that would require major modifications. Didn’t give a crap that even if GM could buy the plant back it would mean MONTHS of delays to bring the plant up thus ventilators would start rolling off in 2021. He ONLY cared that he could say he created jobs in Ohio.
