"Trump on Thursday put the onus on governors to obtain the critical equipment their states need to fight the coronavirus pandemic, telling reporters that the federal government is “not a shipping clerk”."

"In an afternoon conference call with President Donald Trump, Gov. Charlie Baker followed up on states individually buying supplies.
Baker said Massachusetts lost three orders to the federal government.
"Well, we do like you going out and seeing what you can get if you can get it faster," Trump said. "Price is always a component of that, also. Maybe that's why you lost to the feds.""

"President Trump said his administration had ordered 500 million of these [N95] masks after receiving complaints about widespread shortages. To cope with the burgeoning coronavirus crisis, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told nurses to use bandanas and scarves as last-resort masks. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, meanwhile, have access to N95 masks as they apprehend immigrants during a national pandemic."

I'm out of words for how much I detest this vile creature.
= new reply since forum marked as read
suction pumps, endotracheal tubes, cardiac monitors and ventilators for his beloved ICE and BP agents while he was at it? Because those fuckers are gonna get real sick real soon, N95s or not.
count on it 
They can't get proper masks so they're begging people to sew masks out of scrap fabric.
This is fucking medieval.
Who is going to take care of Trump's precious ICE agents when the nurses and doctors are sick?
And I am thinking the exact same thing.
God, I hate that motherfucker with a passion.
