Trump out bidding States for medical supplies

[Norman]

A other TDS rage bait, just what we needed.

 

[Ricky LIbtardo]

Your non stop feigned outrage just drives Trump's polling UP.

You should go help Bidum with some elementary flash cards to help keep him sharp. You could start with the cards of the states.

Wouldn't it be nice for a change to hear what poster's like Berg, and Tommy offer what they would have done differently, instead of the daily bilge of carping what the President is doing wrong in their eyes to attack, attack, attack?

This seems fairly implicit.

exercise his powers under the Defense Production Act

 

[berg80]

bullshit; and this coming from Little Mike's "news" organization?

the same guy that promised year long jobs to campaign workers and then fired them during a pandemic??

Bloomberg aides cut loose despite yearlong employment promise

They do get to keep their campaign-issued iPhones and MacBooks.

I'm sorry that reality is conflicting with your false beliefs. Feel free to Google the subject. You'll find widespread reporting on the issue other than Bloomberg.

I have repeatedly posted on that topic. If Trump had not treated the threat from the virus so cavalierly he could have initiated plans to address the inevitable shortage of supplies back in Jan.

Scramble for medical equipment descends into chaos as U.S. states and hospitals compete for rare supplies

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/03/24/scramble-medical-equipment-descends-into-chaos-us-states-hospitals-compete-rare-supplies/

With prices rising and supplies uncertain, governors and health-care officials are urging the Trump administration to use the Defense Production Act to bring order.

 

[rightwinger]

Trumps solution to fighting the TRUMPvirus is to make states compete for critical resources.

Instead of showing leadership and allocating vital supplies, Trump makes states outbid each other and then taunts those who fall short.

"President Donald Trump’s directive for governors to buy their own medical supplies to fight the coronavirus has run into a big problem -- the federal government.

Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker told Trump during a video conference on Thursday that his state three times lost out to the federal government on purchases of critical supplies, creating an awkward moment during the made-for-TV event at Federal Emergency Management Agency headquarters in Washington."

Lawmakers in New Jersey, Washington state and Maryland say they have only received a fraction of the protective equipment they requested from a national stockpile of medical supplies managed by the federal government.

Meanwhile, nurses, doctors and other health care workers all around the country are being told to ration the gear that protects them from the virus, raising questions about the risk posed to those on the front lines of the pandemic."

Total lie. Trump said the states should try to get it themselves but that the fed was there to help them. Sorry dishonest vermin.

Notice how Trump chuckles when Baker tells him the federal government is out bidding MA for supplies. Like it's a competition that Trump revels in winning. Can you imagine the POTUS being so small a man as to think that way?

Libs cant have it both ways

either you expect trump to provide for you or you dont

 

[wamose]

It's funny how Governors, who are supposed to be leaders, are so dependent on our President. Let's see if they're attentive when Trump asks them to start opening up our economy again. You know how they hate to work. If we stay with the liberal MO, that could easily be the next reason for Trump bashing.

 

[berg80]

Libs cant have it both ways

This isn't about liberals and conservatives. This is about simple facts. Those being that the states are being forced to compete with each other for scarce resources. There are two reasons for this circumstance. 1. The lack of planning by the federal government for the inevitable, massive increase in the need for supplies. 2. The lack of coordination by the federal government in making sure the dispersal of supplies is prioritized according to need, and the refusal by Trump to actually use his authority to increase production of needed supplies.

 

[berg80]

That is a mischaracterization of the problem. They want Trump to establish a national plan for dealing with the supply shortage because the country needs centralized control to stop the current chaotic situation. A situation caused by Trump's abdication of his duty to coordinate the country's response to the outbreak.

 

[JLW]

The Trump Administration is one big dumpster fire. As deaths mount, Trump will continue to blame everyone but himself. But if course, Trumpers voted for a chaos candidate. Now we are reaping what they have sowed. Chaos candidates bring only chaos. Everything Trump touches dies.

 

[berg80]

This thread is yet another attempt to drag, kicking and screaming, Trumpleton's in to the real, factual world. Not the one the Liar-in-Chief wants them to believe in.

I call it a lack of planning by the state and local health departments

everyone, but in this case liberals, have become lazy and expect the federal government to do everything for them

New york was aware that another virus was coming but chose to do nothing

now governor cuomo is pissing in his pants and blaming trump for his state’s lack of preparedness

which is particularly galling since its the deep blue cities and states that refuse to cooperate with the federal government on illegal alien control

It's too late, lefties and the MSM have already squeezed all the political juice out of the pandemic hoax. It's not worth your time to try squeezing more out.
