I hope Rachel @maddow @MaddowBlog can do a show weaving together these facts to get it through to people just how dangerous Trumps mishandling is
FACT 1: They knew from at least Jan 3rd to prepare yet Feb 7th they shipped 17.8 tons of critical medical supplies OUT OF THE COUNTRY
After depleting the stockpile Feb 7th why didn't they immediately start manufacturing masks & respirators to replenish the supply?
FACT 2: States are begging the Federal Govt to help source supplies. Of items NY requested they got 2%. Florida received 200% of what they requested.
FACT 3: Feb 7th the US donated vital supplies to China & other countries. On March 25th China sold $467 million in medical supplies to Spain🤯We have healthcare workers w/ garbage bag gowns & don't have enough ventilators but we donated to China who had enough to sell to Spain😡
FACT 4:Feb 7th we took vital supplies out of the National stockpile. Yesterday Gov Newsom spoke of the 170 ventilators they got directly from the National stockpile that were BROKEN😡We give other countries vital equipment & deliver key States BROKEN stock
FACT 5: Trumps China trade war may have added to the vital shortage of #PPE

The last 2 yrs Trump’s policy forced China to divert sales of critical PPE from the US to other markets. Now the US tries to buy overseas but struggle as other countries hoard for their own COVID crisis
These facts are on top of
-the testing debacle
-his aggressive partisan treatment of States
-his #DPA screw up & the Federal Govt's inability to act as a One-Stop-Shop & Supply Chain partner for States etc
Trumps incompetency's killing us & seems specifically aimed at Blue States
