Trump blames the Democrats , the evil media and of course the Chinese, the later do of course have responsibilities for transparency when something like this breaks out, but this administration has been lame. The downplay from the get go was wrong, the messaging since has been too little to late and now that he has the power to force manufacturers to crank out what is needed for our health care providers he isn’t going to take that step.

Rep Omar and Governor Cuomo have been gushing with praise for Trump. True. You say the chinese are to blame, but that’s it’s lame that Trump says so.

What that habitual lier says at this point in this crisis means zip unless it’s tied to results, which this administration has been far to slow to present. But that’s Trump being Trump, find someone, anyone to blame, I need my image to hold up. Lied about testing, lied about how serious this is, now he has the ability to use his power to finally step up production of the masks and respirators so desperately needed and he won’t. Hey governors you want them you better be prepared to out bid me, his messaging is shameful.

Your apathy will be comforting to the first responders (my son being one), ER nurses and doctors or other health care workers who don’t have the supplies and are warning they will run out as this continues.

Your apathy and defense of this sad sack administration is expected, does it comfort you that Trump won’t take the hard steps needed, especially when their actions are weeks or more behind where they should be. Be a leader enact the war powers act, mobilize the military to move supplies, stop lying to the American public, Pence and Trump are pathetic.

I feel like they would all be embarrassed by your decision to take your stand on a fishing website. Grow a pair for goodness sakes. This whining accomplishes absolutely nothing. Does your first responder son realize this is how you are helping him! Shame on you.
