WARREN: President Trump, are your eyes stitched shut?

Elizabeth Warren

@SenWarren
President Trump, are your eyes stitched shut? Hospitals need test kits, ventilators, & other medical supplies. That's why the DPA exists. Stop dragging your feet & burying your head & start helping hospitals that are about to be slammed by this pandemic.


Donald J. Trump

I only signed the Defense Production Act to combat the Chinese Virus should we need to invoke it in a worst case scenario in the future. Hopefully there will be no need, but we are all in this TOGETHER!

"in worst case scenario"? "Hopefully there will be no need"?

We should have been on this weeks ago.

Things like leadership, and accountability are foreign to him.
But he is good at time travel.
He says he signed the Defense Production Act.
Well, that was signed into law in 1950, so he must have gone back in time to sign it.
Or, he could be totally deluded.
It's one or the other.

Don't you know what's really important here? It's certainly not our health or well being.

He's being really highly offensive. It is repugnant to attempt to relabel a horrible virus to denigrate an entire country, just to avoid responsibility for dropping the ball on this. He's a rat weasel just like all the rest of his party.

and much of the world, to be honest. How much longer do we tolerate this situation? I suppose we just go on our merry way and accept that thousands, perhaps millions, will die due to his utter incompetence. Bide our time until January next year?
