Our house is on fire.
First, the President eliminated the fire department.
Then he refused to test if the fire was spreading.
Then he called the fire a hoax.
Then he said it would magically disappear.
Now he's saying if 100,000 people die in the fire, he did a great job.
***
We had a huge supply of medical supplies and protective equipment. Where did they go? (see below).
We also had a Pandemic Response Team via Obama. Trump fired all of them.
He knew in January that testing was critical to saving American lives, and chose his re-election (you know, the motivation that also drove him to bribe a foreign leader and get impeached) and PROFIT BEFORE USA. Election vs infection.
There is a paper trail for this. Find it via @npr
It was a perfect hoax, a beautiful hoax
NPR: “Trump did not push to do aggressive testing because more testing might have led to more cases being discovered of the Coronavirus outbreak, and Trump made it clear the lower the numbers on Coronavirus, the better for the president and his re-election this fall.”
Trump delayed WHO tests while Thermo Fisher Scientific and Qiagen merged (his stock investments) and Kushner's company Oscar could launch their testing sites so that he could profit putting lives at risk.
Associated Press:”Donald Trump who is supposed to be managing Coronavirus &how testing is conducted, has listed investments in V.F. Corp &Thermo Fisher Scientific Corporation.There is reason to believe that Trump stands to profit from medical testing of coronavirus by them.”
Reminder: Trump only won the Electoral College by less than 80,000 votes.
Who'd think an impeached malignant narcissist with 3,500 lawsuits, 7 bankruptcies, campaign donation fraud, charity fraud, insurance fraud, tax evasion, sexual assaults, extortion, tax fraud, money laundering, who has lied to us 18 K+ times would grift, profit, and con his way thru a pandemic?
CLASSIC SIGNS OF MALIGNANT NARCISSISM
• persistent paranoia
• grandiosity & aggression
• absence of conscience
• inability to express empathy
• dishonesty
• need for control
• intolerance of opinions of others
• lack of awareness of their behavior
• urge for vengeance
Everyone thinks Trump has bungled this crisis because he’s inept.
I beg to differ.
This is the perfect situation for a wannabe dictator to take full control.
Distract & dwindle the population, all the while pilfering the nation’a wealth.
He’s helping to cripple us.
More Americans have died under Trump's failed leadership from the coronavirus than on 9/11 via @DeanObeidallah
In Comparison:
S. Korea, tested with extensive efforts to trace contacts so those carrying the virus or who had been exposed were quarantined to isolate the virus. by march 17, S. Korea tested 270,000+ people 5,200+ tests per million. US carried out 74 tests per 1 million inhabitants.
South Korea took rapid action & the number who have died are 1.16% as of March 22. Science Magazine reports, this has been accomplished without massive citywide lockdowns. the country instituted necessary testing with extensive efforts to trace contacts to isolate the virus.
Where did all the PPE go to QUID PRO QUOCOVID19?
AFTER Trump was impeached in Feb, Pompey sent 1.7 tons of US medical supplies to CHINA and did a quid pro quo, as he is now with our governors in blue states #QuidProCOVID19 #QuidProQuoronavirus (the reason he was impeached was this abuse of power, quid pro quo, He told the president of Ukraine, if you do me a favor, I will send you (already approved by Congress) military aid.
Politics and Profit Trump Saving Lives
Trump gave Kentucky all the PPE it needed and maybe Oklahoma. Trump gave Illinois, Mass, and Maine a fraction. Red states get more. Florida got all it wanted but not NY. Michigan? Trump gave CALIFORNIA broken PPE, has sent PPE to China & is BUYING PPE from Russia, Politics & profit #QuidProCOVID19
Add Vietnam (along with Thailand to the list of countries that Pompeo's State Dept is attempting to swap #COVID19 medical equipment and #PPEs.
#DidWeJustBuyBackOurOwnSupply?
The project is called Project Airbridge. It’s a public-private-partnership where the public pays for the airlift and then gets shafted by the private distributors who are in it just for the profit. Jared Kushner came up with this.
Withholding ventilators, masks, testing is just the start. Food security in USA is becoming an issue very quickly. And how trump will bring us to our knees for complete control. Denying that Trump is no different than the most evil dictators in history is stupid @CheriJacobus
Trump is weaponizing "our" stockpile like a dictator, making it clear HE and only HE will decide who gets what & when... if you're NICE to him - or LOYAL - you're on the top of his list for a ventilator; if you disagree with him or point out his mistakes, YOU WILL BE LEFT TO DIE! via @MorganJFreeman not the actor.
