Trump Refuses To Declare Coronavirus Emergency Until Jared Kushner Is Done Researching
Trump is refusing to declare a national emergency on the coronavirus until after his son in law Jared Kushner, has finished researching the subject.
Politico reported:
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar is pushing for the designation. But Vice President Mike Pence, who Trump tapped to lead the administrations coronavirus response, is wary it could trigger an economic tailspin, they added.
Theres no deadline for a decision, but one of the people familiar with the talks said the task force will not give Trump its final verdict until Jared Kushner, the presidents senior adviser, and son-in-law, finishes his research and comes to a conclusion himself.
There should be zero debate. A national emergency should have already been declared. States need the funds to combat the spread of the virus in local communities, but Trump is more worried about political optics and his reelection campaign than taking steps that could save American lives.
Donald Trump is revealing his weak-minded feebleness by waiting for his son-in-law to finish Googling so that he can be told what to do.
A declaration of emergency is not a political stunt. It is an administrative tool that, if declared, has real power to help provide states and communities with the immediate resources that they need.
The health of potentially millions of Americans is in the hands of Jared Kushner and his research. Trumps mishandling of the coronavirus is getting to the point of being nearly criminal. A pandemic is raging across the country, and Trump is sitting on his hands while waiting for his son-in-law.

(25,241 posts)The Repug Senators had a chance to remove him from office and they didn't. I hold them and the whole Repug Party responsible for what is happening and what is about to happen to this country.
Outside of those Repugs that are self-quarantining - I haven't heard any comments from Repugs about this crisis. They are missing in action.
Aren't there Public Health Police that can make a citizens arrest on Trump? It's time for him to go. I don't know how many of us will make it by November. Even if he is defeated in November - we still have to put up with him till the middle of January.
