tRump outbid states for PPEs and increased virus deaths. Will he do the same with food supplies?

Is there any reason to believe he can be trusted with the nation's food supply?

4. Why? What's he going to do with all that stuff,

Does he dole them out like prizes to red states with loyal governors?

By taking supplies out of the market he'll drive up the costs for everyone, and those he hurts the most are the patients and the first responders who care for them. Does Trump think this tactic will win him any votes, or is it just petty revenge has after?

5. I ordered a side of beef over the weekend

Unfortunately, I won't get it until December. I live near a lot of farmers, so I decided to put an order in. The cows are still growing. Wanted to buy local. Have you seen how expensive meat is at the stores these days?
