Pissing off Europe by not giving them prior notice of the travel ban was totally UNNECESSARY

There was an article I read that said Trump did the travel ban without consulting or informing the
countries in Europe. damn. he is an embarrassment

@ChrisMurphyCT
1. There is a shortage of the Coronavirus testing reagent.

2. Much of the reagent supply comes from Europe.

3. Pissing off Europe by not giving them prior notice of the travel ban was totally unnecessary.

Cornavirus response is chess. Trump is playing checkers.

Denying testing puts everyone at risk. Trump is that stupid. He's all about revenge. I hope most other leaders are sane.
