Please I'm asking for the sake of Governors

That you pass this on to as many people (republicans included), that you can. Trumps treatment of our Governors has been horrific. My husband worked a 12 hour shift yesterday and the amount of patients that came in was staggering. His hospital is really low on gloves, gowns, masks, and ventilators. Trumps attitude has been one of neglect, and sheer arrogance. Unless Governors bow down to him, and "be nice to him" he won't send what they need, even though it means people will die. I have been so worried these past few days. Tonight I sat down, put on CNN and Chris Cuomo described exactly how I felt. And I wish this could go viral, because it says everything that has to be said about Trump. So please share. I'm hoping it will go viral. Thank you!

Democratic presidents have always been presidents for ALL Americans.

What Trump is doing is unconscionable. He is pure evil.

He is a childish bully, nothing more. Not an intelligent bone in his body, he is a FOOL. Worst president this country ever had, and we have to rid the country of the gop or they will promote another like him. We will not know the extent of all the damage being done by him, his family and others for many years. They all need to be replaced by people who are intelligent, experienced and caring.

it’s his treatment of the Americans in the states where those governors hold office. It’s his treatment of us. That self-centered whiner mentioned that if governors failed to appreciate him, they also failed to appreciate the Army Corps of Engineers and others in government working on this pandemic. Pound sand, Trump, you ass! It’s his job to help those governors and the people of the states they govern. They owe him NO appreciation. He owes them competence. What an epic screw-up he is!

We understand your concern but just passing links to articles around between citizens just gets emotions up but won't get results. The only thing blasting Trump does is feed the hunger for enraging us by the MAGAts.

With concrete facts in hand, I believe we need to:

* write letters to local paper editors with facts and ideas,
* pass editorial ideas on to TV station investigative journalists,
* call, email or fax our Congresscritters and raise hell in a message with facts and ideas, and
* write letters to Congresscritters where expressions of detailed problems and solutions are needed.

Putting pressure on local politicians in a logical, non-confrontational way helps as well because they will pass our rumblings upward in the chain.

Just saying - when passing your observations along, include some ideas on how to follow up and get the needed changes.

and he want his pound of flesh. Even if Governors give him the praise he demands, it won't be enough. He'll see us die first. He's petty and vindictive.
