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.

Ms. Williamson, the initial shortages were primarily because the Chinese government was buying up PPE equipment around the world. They were stripping the shelves because they knew what was coming.

Yep, it was insanity, and massive wastes of money ... like shopping for ventilators on ebay per @NYGovCuomo.

Uh. What land are you living in? He did exactly this. I’m sorry but you have lost all credibility, all honorability, all patriotism. You are obviously bought and paid for by the CCP here to sway the “New Age” group. Shame on you.

And he sent millions of PPE (masks) to China
