Governors, get your states testing programs & apparatus perfected. Be ready, big things are happening. No excuses! The Federal Government is there to help. We are testing more than any country in the World. Also, gear up with Face Masks!

1. Failed leadership at the highest level.

The buck stops with anyone but Trump. He’s laying the groundwork for blaming states.

Did anyone expect anything else from a failed frozen steak salesman?

America’s reputation is in tatters.

Thanks, GOP.

[SheltieLover]

2. He says this

while thwarting every effort by the governors to protect their citizens!

Dump needs to stop PIRATING medical equipment from states! 🤬

3. Is that real . . .

4. When a president is stupid ignorant lazy self-entitled trash

[Chainfire]

5. He is probably getting bored

with the virus. Who knows what new disaster he will make to occupy his time.

[gratuitous]

12. That's it exactly

All the sacrifice, all the progress, all the stuff that people have done in the last six weeks can be undone if Needy Amin decides that he's done getting bumped out of the headlines by Covid-19.

14. Choose any or all:

1) Iran
2) Venezuela
3) Nancy Pelosi

17. Oh,

rest assured, there is plenty going on, and plenty of resources and manpower for, other activities at home and abroad that are making the distraction of our virus crisis useful to him and the GOP.

Do some searching on the power grabs and foreign operations, meddling, sanctions, etc.

[Chainfire]

19. Health wrecked, economy wrecked

We may as will get into a shooting war with Iran.

6. How are Governors supposed to do that when Trump admin

is pirating PPE and ventilators?

How Trump turned ventilators into a form of patronage

Trump is playing a disgusting political game with our lives

Lots of reports beyond the above

Florida got more than they needed for example.

7. He wants to get the golf courses open and do his Klan rallies. He sees his

polls going down the more we see him. So he needs his fix talking to his cult.

[Initech]

8. He only cares if you kiss his ass enough.

[Chainfire]

20. All gods

demand worship, praise and adulation.

10. Figuring out how to line one's pockets can be time consuming. One has to plan how to repurpose post

offices into hotels, book government meetings at one's own resorts, negotiate percentages from vital medical equipment sales, negotiate a cut from refrigerator truck sales, implement various forms of revenge on critics, etc. No time for leadership during a pandemic!

[doc03]

11. He is rapidly closing in on the total deaths in the Korean War. nt

[Baclava]

13. He can squawk and blubber all he wants, the Governors will decide for their states

[Baked Potato]

15. Translation: I'm going golfing soon.

16. No way in hell tRump wrote that Tweet.

Not enough lies, deception, shade-throwing, bragging or calls for adoration to be from him........

[MFGsunny]

18. What a cheeky charlatan this MF45 is, and he gets more and more snaky-oily with every utterance.

[Marie Marie]

21. WE are NOT testing more than any country in the World.

If it were up to Trump, we would stop testing immediately. Can't have accurate numbers - might show his incompetence.

[demtenjeep]

22. what a bunch of shit

what the fuck does all this mean

[smirkymonkey]

23. You lying sack of shit!

You are doing NOTHING!
