To the thing in the Oval Office: it is NOT your damn money!

In the face of a cascading US health disaster, you hold back the PPE's and ventilators which are in federal warehouses and which We the People paid for!

In the face of the doctors and nurses who are being told to "wear bandanas" instead of masks begging you to help, you tell us you're "not a shipping clerk"!

Now is not the time to "nickel and dime" the American people who are struggling to survive this pandemic. Now is the time to give everything available and then search for more.

Several billionaires are donating millions to help state and local governments deal with this crisis. Did we miss the announcement about YOUR contrbution?

If you will not step down, step aside and let someone who gives a shit do what is necessary to combat this plague!

Delay the distribution so that big business can cash out on making new ones and new money. If there has ever been, or will ever be a need to draw on a strategic reserve it is now, otherwise why have one?

At least Trump is consistent, every move he makes is either two weeks to late, or just plain wrong. I wonder if he doesn't have a Munchhausen issue in that he wants the problem to be as big as possible, so he can come flying in at the end, like a military hero, with the fix that only he can provide. The bigger the problem, the bigger the hero.
