Report Claims Trump Owns Stock In Company That May Play A Major Role In Providing COVID-19 Kits, Helping POTUS To Profit From Testing
I'd say this surprised me, but it doesn't.


In the least shocking news I’ve heard this week, it turns out that there may have been a slow rollout of testing for the deadly coronavirus strain that’s been gathering steam around the world — so that President Donald Trump could source the tests from companies that he may have a financial stake in.

1. Actual numbers of infected persons will make MF45 & the Maladministeation look even worse.

2. MF45 hasn’t yet figured out how to profit from a global health emergency.

Meanwhile, Korea has a massive drive through testing operation underway and the Vietnamese government has released a hand washing song/video that has “gone viral” (in a good way.)

This is just capitalism in action....at the White House....for the profit of one person....in a paid leadership position.....that's suppose to prevent the need for pandemic testing..

If you hold up testing for awhile when you finally start selling them you could make a killing....literally and financially.

I knew damn well there was a reason the CDC didn't use existing technology, drumpf didn't have a way to profit from it. So the whole thing had to be scrapped and a new process (defective at first) put in so drumpf and his fave oligarchs profited - otherwise there would be zero kits. The firms he's using are predictably unable to provide the huge # of kits, so he continues to lie saying they are available when they absolutely are not easily available to hide his personal incompetence and grifting.
