We cant breathe: A cruel president dismisses a coronavirus-afflicted New Yorks desperate need for ventilators
Thursday night, a cluelessly cruel President Trump scoffed at Gov. Cuomos urgent, evidence-based pleas for thousands more ventilators to manage a coming surge of coronavirus cases. Hours later, after wasting precious days dragging his feet, Trump seemed to tweet that he might invoke the Defense Production Act to order manufacturers to start making more ventilators, but one never knows with him.
Crisis management in the age of Donald Trump is more about managing Trump than it is about managing the crisis itself.
The president had used Sean Hannitys Fox News evening show to deliver a cold-blooded message: Despite horrifying growth curves, despite clear scientific projections, hes got a hunch his home city and state of New York just dont need the life-saving equipment weve been begging and begging and begging for.
I dont believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators, said the Expert in All Things. You know, you go into major hospitals sometimes and theyll have two ventilators. Now all of a sudden theyre saying, Can we order 30,000 ventilators?
