Trump has NOT directed ANY lifesaving equipment be produced under the Defense Production Act



Valuable information from a true public servant regarding what she learned in a phone call w/VP Pence. The low point? Trump has actually NOT directed ANY lifesaving equipment be produced under the Defense Production Act. Zero PPE. Zero ventilators. #CriminalNegligence




I just finished a telephone briefing with White House officials on the #covid_19 response. I’m bringing out #KatiePortersWhiteboard to share with everyone what I learned. Watch me LIVE

Which is impossible to disprove.

He has never, AFAIK, stated that he signed an order or officially implemented the act.

If he had, we would never have heard the end of it.

He did not, never did.

Love that Katie Porter!

Shes pulling out the whiteboard.

I hope Joe is considering her for VP. Her clear, factual presentations would be a balm to our nations soul after the pustule.

Or maybe they'll ask him again how fucking Baron is doing. As if anyone, including Trump, gives a shit.

I would like to see her as President one day. Until then, she is making Trump look like the completely useless POS that he is.

How is it, in a country with so many dedicated, competent, intelligent individuals that we end up with a total fucktard like Trump? What the hell is wrong with this country? I feel like I am going mad.
