It is becoming obvious what trumps plan is.

It is becoming obvious what trumps plan is.

Trump repeatedly says it’s up to the governors, and that he is there to help them.

There is no coordinated national effort from the White House. From the press conference today it’s obvious they don’t know the numbers. They don’t know how many masks there are or what they’re sending. They could not answer those questions.

He knows this is going to be bad. And he setting up the governors as the ones to blame when all hell breaks loose.

-KARMA this high is asking for it?

Kind of expected him to get it and be in that 14.68% club?

Two months when US companies could have been manufacturing ventilators and PPE.

His response to virus seems deliberately malevolent.

It will be interesting to see how that plays in November. At some point people are bound to ask - What is this guy good for anyway?

get it and die so Pelosi can become POTUS. This is a clusterfuck of epic proportions with the most serious consequences for Americans imaginable. His narcissistic personality disorder and inability to do the job are getting us killed.

And anyone with half a brain will understand that it is his lack of leadership that has made this crisis ten times worse than it had to be.
