During Pritzker’s Sunday COVID-19 news conference, the governor said he was “finding it hard” to contain his anger with Trump’s response to this crisis.

“Donald Trump promised to deliver for all the states weeks ago and so far has done very little,” Pritzker said. “Apparently the only way to get the president of the United States to pay attention is to go on national television and make noise about it.”

On March 6, Trump said anyone “wants a test can get a test,” which was not true anywhere in the country at that point or now.

Test kit availability has increased, but supplies are still extremely limited so people with mild symptoms are urged to stay home and not get tested.

1. When we get what we need it'll have a lot more to with our governors than our Covfefe in Chief.

2. Don't expect to get an answer, an honest answer, an answer that addresses the question

from this loser and his administration.

Expect to get bluster and accusations and blame and lies. (babble)

3. You've got to be one incompetent hack to get governors angry at you

even if they do hang their hat with the other party.

Anger is the lifeblood of watershed elections. Keep it going, Democrats!

4. A compusive liar cannot be argued with. He needs to be condemned and shunned.

5. Anyone have a source on the tests from the WHO we...

...supposedly rejected?

6. While Trump bullshits about this amazing, groundbreaking test...

...that gives results in 45 minutes, Spain just started using a test at their mobile testing sites that gives a result in 15 minutes.

7. A real billionaire puts the pretender in his place!

We got to know JB quite well in the two years before he was elected. The man has a short fuse, especially when he is tired. But even when he is tired, he gets things done. Also, I appreciate the way he acknowledges the people who helped him get his office.

We need about fifty more just like him, all around the country.
