Trump could have used the Defense Production Act at the very beginning to procure PPE, masks, ventilators etc but he didn’t want to override the free market even in an emergency. Governors and doctors and hospitals were begging. First responders and others died because of it.

Which companies could President Trump have ordered to make which products who would have produced any more any faster than they did?

Trump’s failure to act swiftly and competently was an injustice to the American people and cost countless lives.

So if I wait for you to do the right thing and you don't. Then I have to force you to do the right thing. Who is at fault? You for not doing the right thing or me for waiting for you to do the right thing? That's what your saying right now.

You liberal idiots setting around accusing Trump of things IN HINDSIGHT... are dishonest and despicable. It was a highly KINETIC SITUATION and by all reports Trump was working 18 hour days trying to follow the science AND procure PPE, etc., when CHINA was the only source.
Replying to @marwilliamson
U FLAKE. He kicked the DPA into effect as soon as they figured out CHINA WAS SCREWING US ON MASKS, ETC., & some US companies were hesitant to start producing what we were ALL told was most needed. If YOU had been in charge YOU would STILL be trying 2 stop Covid w/ HUGS & LOVE.

Fuck Covid. How about peace and an end to the endless wars? How about UHC? How about jobs? How about free education?

People died because of the LIES from China & the WHO. I am sick of misleading “facts”. THIS from the WHO on 1/14/2020. IN SPITE OF THIS @realDonaldTrump STILL SHUT DOWN TRAVEL on 1/31/2020. You should be grateful Trump didn’t fall for the BS & you shouldn’t either. #VPDebates2020
