President Trump suggests that the states get themselves in gear and do everything they can to reply.
Some states make guns. Other states make bullets that don't fit those guns.
Some states build bombers. Other states search around for people that know how to fly planes.
Some states make submarine parts. Other states try to figure out how to assemble those parts.
You get the idea. That's exactly what's going on today. All because of one ignorant, orange monster who doesn't have a clue about reality. That blood won't just be on his hands. He'll be up to his neck in it.
This horrible beast needs to go if tens of thousands are to survive. Then again, it may be too late.

(52,415 posts)imagine him calling the bombing of pearl harbor a hoax and doing nothing about it for a month or two.
imagine him outbidding states for military equipment and weapons
imagine him accusing governors failing and whining and playing politics with the situation
imagine him holding daily campaign ads and having ceos praise him
imagine him blaming everything on being distracted by an investigation that wound down well before pearl harbor.
