Because of his utter incompetence the equipment that healthcare workers need is a scarce resource and so he suggests to his base that those same health workers are STEALING the kit rather than using it protect themselves while they save lives. At this point it is obvious that there are no depths to which he will not sink to try and mitigate the fact that he is completely and utterly shit at his job. And of course because he is a crook and a grifter who has milked the US taxpayers for millions, he would naturally think that is how others would behave - because you can be very sure indeed, if he was in a healthcare environment - he would have every bit of protective equipment out of the backdoor in a minute and fuck everyone else. It is who he is.

He is killing blue state people to save red state people to benefit HIS OWN re-election.

(9,426 posts)"from a practical standpoint, I don't see how the National Debt went from one point, to another so very much higher. Is the cash going out the back door, into tRump accounts?" Son of a bitch should have golfed less, and worked more.

(21,321 posts)Trump sent 17.8 tons of medical supplies to China, including ventilators and masks and he pledged to spend 100 million dollars fighting the virus in China and other countries.
Seems like another quid pro quo. I wonder what Trump got from China?

(8,817 posts)very important for the Chinese to negotiate a QuidProQuo for himself and the other Republicans and his entire administration.
There is a real shortage of rubbers in America right now.....China manufacturers most of the condoms used worldwide, and they haven't been able to manufacture many because of the Virus....... Trump and his cabal know they are going to be screwing the taxpayers a lot in the upcoming months and he wanted to make sure they all had protection........
That, and the fact that there is no street slut meth whore within a hundred miles of D.C. who would let any Republican Politician near them without "doubling up"........
And, you know how they make X-large for well hung guys? Well Donnie had China make him a special order batch of X-small because even the normal size kept falling off.......The ones the Chinese made for him are rumored to be super tight on a pencil.......

(740 posts)glass of water from a person dying of thirst. I'm sure that you and your gifter family have been stealing medical supplies and stockpiling them for your own use even when you don't need to. Hell you have ben robbing the American people since day one and having been nothing more than a cheap 2 bit thief and conman all of your life.

(62,411 posts)The story begins after the death of Trumps father, Fred Sr., in 1999. As David Cay Johnston explains in his book The Making of Donald Trump, Fred Sr. had written a will after the death of his oldest son, Fred Jr., known as Freddy, in 1981. The will left the majority of Fred Sr.s wealth to Donald and his surviving siblings. Freddys family was largely cut out.
When Fred Sr. died, Freddys children sued, claiming that the will had been procured by fraud and undue influence by Donald and the other surviving siblings, according to Johnston.
Johnston writes that medical insurance had consistently been provided to the family through Fred Sr.s company. This coverage was crucial for Freddys grandson (Donalds grandnephew), who suffered from seizures and later developed cerebral palsy. So crucial, in fact, that a letter sent from a Trump lawyer to the insurer after the patriarchs death in 1999 said that all costs for the sick childs care should be covered, regardless of caps on the plan or medical necessity, according to Johnston. That didnt last long.
A week after the lawsuit was filed in court, Freddys son (Donalds nephew) received a letter informing him that the health insurance would be discontinued, meaning his ill son would be left without coverage. Donald openly admitted to the New York Daily News that he and his siblings took this action out of revenge.
Why should we give him medical coverage? Trump said, adding, They sued my father, essentially. Im not thrilled when someone sues my father.
what a human scum

(13,569 posts)I believe he thinks there's some kind of large-scale theft going on because the warehouse is in NJ for hospitals in NY. He keeps talking about that aspect. Nothing could be more mobbed up than NJ in his mind, likely.

(5,383 posts)the masks are disposable, and one person would go through quite a few in a day, if they were available.
Not a 'use it today, take it home, wash it, use it tomorrow' deal.
Trump is a deadbeat fossil with one foot in his mouth and the other in the grave.
