Trump Attacks Hospitals As Insatiable 'Complainers' Amid Crisis

President Donald Trump on Thursday criticized states and hospitals for requesting medical supplies to cope with the coronavirus pandemic, calling them “complainers” that should have stocked up on supplies “long before this crisis hit.”

“Some have insatiable appetites & are never satisfied,” Trump wrote in one of two tweets scolding states and health facilities that he claimed have already received “massive amounts of medical supplies” from the federal government.

The insults from Trump, who downplayed the pandemic for weeks before acknowledging the scope of the crisis in recent days, came after the nation’s top infectious disease expert said as many as 200,000 people in the U.S. may die from the virus. As of Thursday, there were more than 216,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases in the U.S. and 5,100 deaths.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has asked the Pentagon for 100,000 body bags in anticipation that funeral homes will be overwhelmed in the coming weeks.

The irony of Trump criticizing anyone for failing to take the threat of a pandemic seriously and prepare ahead of time is mindblowing.

7. Hopefully all medical people will remember this come November.

The dumbass just keeps pissing more and more groups off. Plenty of doctors voted for trump (just anecdotal), soon he’ll only have the gun toting, feeble minded, religious wignuts on his side. And while that is a substantial bloc, they are also the most likely to get the virus because they believe donnys fantasies. More likely to get sick and die. It’s like he is trying his best to ruin America and his re-election chances.

8. Trump is playing the blame game.

COVID-19 sufferers: how dare you get sick? The economy NEEDS you! Stop slacking off!

Front line health workers: Greedy people! Stop asking, just take your masks home and wash them! Jeez! The whinging never stops!

To FEMA: Body bags? But they have orders to get back to work! This is not going to look good for me!

To the cameras: I take no responsibility at all!

(Pausing for a Wizard of Oz moment: Trump says . . . my beautiful, precious economy! It's melting, melting!)

Remember in November, the dead. Say a prayer for them.
And who caused many of them. Vote like your life depends on it - because it does.
(As it did in 2016. But some are slow learners.)
