I AM PO'ed beyond words at that ignorant ass that calls himself a President.

He had the nerve to give medical supplies to China in Feb. when he knew cases were starting in the US. Now medical staff doesn’t have enough equipment. He did nothing to prepare for the inevitable. He probably thought that a virus would never mess up the plans of someone as special as he is. Well guess what, you jerk, it did.

And then, the people who put their lives and their family’s lives on the line every day with that shitty equipment get accused of stealing supplies. He needs to get his fat ass over to a hospital that is being overwhelmed with sick people and see what these brave people are doing. And apologize. Over and over again. Why isn’t he visiting hospitals to show medical staff he cares? Because he doesn’t.

I am beside myself with anger toward that man. The fact that Im a nurse makes it even worse.
I know what HARD WORK and DEDICATION is going on. My heart is breaking and Im mad as hell. Every day. All day.

7. They're for emergencies that HE determines are ventilator-worthy. Like emergencies in red

4. Worked both ways. China has sent us needed supplies as well.

I don’t have a problem helping other countries in a pandemic, especially when they reciprocated a month later when we need them.

6. I have a big problem with it. He did it without any concern for our potential needs.

If he had determined that we had protective equipment and ventilators coming out of our ears and could spare some, that would have been different. That he didn’t assess the potential is obvious now.

8. First, they were private donations. Second, the America First stuff is junk.

Finally, China has sent donations and supplies to us.

My opinion includes no approval of anything trump has done.

9. Canada sent supplies to China as well at the start of the outbreak there.

Now China is sending supplies back.. BUT.. they all have to be tested for efficacy because apparently when China sent supplies (ventilators etc.) to Italy and France, it was discovered that many ventilators were defective.

It doesn't get any easier, folks, just harder and harder.

10. I hope you can get beyond your anger

Anger won't change him for the better. I am so beyond anger with him. I have just come to accept that he is beyond redemption of any kind. I minimize seeing him on TV or reading about his latest stupid outrage and insult. I take heart in the fact that nothing lasts forever, and the Nov general election is a mere 8 months away.

I'm also pretty convinced that there's a big metal pot of molten metal with his name on it that awaits him in Hell.
