Trump is afraid to use federal powers

[cyclonefence]

to get manufacture of masks, gowns, ventilators because if people still die he feels he will be blamed. Now, by shifting *his* responsibilities to the states, it's "not his fault". His biggest fear imo is being shown to be in the wrong, and he figures, I think, that if he doesn't *try* he can't be responsible for what happens.

Where is the 25th amendment? Pence, of all people, can see that Trump's irresponsible behavior is costing American lives. Pence is, I think, the person who can put this all in motion. When will he do it?

Alternatively, how can Trump be made to understand that his failure to act puts him squarely to blame for the greater part of these deaths?

And why is My Pillow devoting only 75% of its manufacture to masks? Why not 100%? And who knew you could make masks from scraps of foam swept up from legitimate mattress manufacturers' floors?

1. He's worthless on every possible level.

2. Trump can't use federal powers for two very good reasons

His efforts might not work, and he'll be blamed for his failure.

His efforts might work, and his fanboiz will hate him for showing that government can work and has a role to play in our society.

5. Third reason, ceo's wanted free market prices for their products

3. No he is not afraid to use Federal Orders

first it needs to be something Obama did.
second it needs to be something Democrats want or did.
Then he is ready and willing to use Federal Powers to hurt.

4. He calls himself a "wartime President"

States don't fight wars.

6. He's not afraid to use (and abuse) any other kind of federal power

Of course, this one doesn't do anything for *HIM*

7. his mother must have beat him

mentally when he was a kid. Even though his father is credited with being the head slime I don't think he could ever please his mother. That just made him meaner than hell

Disclaimer: this is my opinion as a gardener, I know nothing about psychosis.

8. Huh? He's used any federal powers to undermine democracy, institutions, & people's belief in gov't
