Trump has politicized federal aid to sick and dying Americans.
It's that simple.
And it's impeachable conduct. It's a violation of his Oath of Office and the closest you can get to bribery without putting it down on paper.
Decisions in a national emergency must be data-driven.

PS/ If you were in charge of federal response to a national crisis killing hundreds of Americans daily and you found that Massachusetts—third hardest-hit—was getting 1/6th of its needs and Florida (tenth hardest-hit) was getting 300% of an initial request, you'd be firing people.
PS2/ But Trump lives in Florida, runs businesses in Florida, receives lots of campaign money with the aid of Florida's Republican governor, is connected to Florida's Republican governor in the case that got him impeached—through Parnas and Fruman—and needs Florida for reelection.
PS3/ Meanwhile, what the hell does he need Massachusetts for? Nor is Maine much more likely to ever offer him even one electoral vote. And the way Colorado has been going, Trump doesn't hold out much hope of carrying it in 2020. But *Florida*? Absolutely mission-critical for him.
PS4/ And don't forget, Trump just declared that New York *doesn't need* the 30,000+ ventilators its governor said it desperately requires.
New York: the state *hardest hit* by coronavirus.
New York: a blue state Trump just moved out of; one that he'd never carry in an election.
