That’s all he had to do. Just go ahead and jump right on it when the coronavirus hit and tell everybody to wear a mask and social distance and sound the alarm this is serious and he would’ve made out like a bandit and likely probably got reelected. But not this know it all. And now look what a total mess he’s made of everything just like his whole life up until now. Unfortunately we’ve all been along for the ride.

and Fauci didn't want people to grab what was available and leave first responders more vulnerable.

Of course, had the orange octopus made it a priority early on--in December and January when he was already being warned--to produce more masks and PPE--this wouldn't have been such an issue.

They had plans in the works to mail every US citizen 5 free masks back in Feb./March.
But Chump and Jared cancelled the program! No masks for anyone.

Then he got on TV and told us we didn't need them.

What masks there were The Family probably confiscated for 'our use' whatever.

Taiwan has been quite safe covid-wise. They immediately mandated masks for all, did strict contact tracing, and any exposed individuals or families had to hole up, quarantine in a bedroom for days, weeks until safe. Thom Hartmann often uses them as an example.

You know, the CDC Office that prevented the Ebola Outbreak, the H1N1 Outbreak, etc.

But NO -- because Obama had appointed these skilled professional experts, Fuckstick von Clowncart had to wreck and smash it all like the demented man-toddler he is.

I am livid, because my career might be permanently ruined as a result of this pandemic, if things don't get back to normal. I wanna see tRump fucking destroyed in November. DESTROYED.

shouldn't have been drastically slashed in the 2000s.
