The Federal PPE Stockpile That Trump Bragged About Is Almost Gone

The Federal PPE Stockpile That Trump Bragged About Is Almost Gonehttps://www.politicususa.com/2020/07/14/the-federal-ppe-stockpile-that-trump-bragged-about-is-almost-gone.html

The federal PPE stockpile was never as great as Trump claimed, but also, Trump gave away part of the federal stockpile to foreign countries as he claimed that the US didn’t and wouldn’t need it.

The President was very wrong.

The administration is claiming that there is plenty of PPE, but doctors and hospitals are telling a much different story about a shortage that is getting worse by the day.

The fall second wave of the virus isn’t even here yet, but Donald Trump has the country in such sorry shape that those treating coronavirus patients don’t have the PPE that they need, even as the president pushes to reopen the country.

Still Obama's fault??

3. He's been so busy trying to stop investigations,

Corrupting more government departments,intimidating others , threatening pretty much most of the country , dismissing the virus while attacking the experts he's refused to take advise from . Undermining judge and jury decisions for his pals in crimes he's connected with. He has been busy. He also could care less about anyone but himself, and getting re-elected, which he has little chance doing the stupid things he's now trying to do.

7. Everyone on DU, watch your PPE...trump will walk into our homes and steal our PPE ...

I know a few of us will donate what we can to our medical folks on the front lines, but rump has no excuse to running low on this equipment being that he's had plenty of time to get his crap together and get things done (more PPE) and he didn't.

A gross failure on his part, but who's counting?

8. He sent FEMA to confiscate supplies..
