1. Color me ignorant...

how does he have so much control over our purse strings that he can spend OUR money on this shit?

[Texaswitchy]

2. Yeah

Me to.

What happened to the House.

Where is the money coming from.

3. I'm also wondering how he can possibly be doing this.

More to the point, what is your source for your claim.

[Ferrets are Cool]

5. This. We need a source.

6. It's not trump himself buying it obviously, he directs some agency to do it

I’m sure there are funds in their budgets, especially now, to simplify purchases related to the virus. I’ll try to find a link, but it’s all over the news. I’ll come back and post a link when I get it.

7. Here's one link from HHS who did the purchases. Other sites deal with the political fall out

4. We should send hydroxychloroquine to the countries that can actually use it to treat malaria.
