He would be sending baby formula to states that voted for him and saying the governors of blue states would need to fight over formula on the world market.
And then his son in law would be buying up world supplies and selling them on eBay at jacked up prices.

DENVERPOPS
(8,862 posts)had the owner of the Boston Patriots fly his planes to China, they picked up the PPE and flew it directly to Boston? airport. Then surrounded the plane with State Police, had it unloaded and escorted to the hospitals. Jared was commandeering incoming flights of PPE at airports by customs, then taking the supplies and distributing them to Red States.....(I am sure with a substantial commission)
At least that is how I remember it...........

(50,567 posts)He said that there would be no shortage of formula, but if there was one Trump would (I'm working from memory here) issue an immediate executive order, call the manufacturers of formula to the White House for meetings, fire the Commissioner of the FDA and force all his workers to toil around the clock until the crisis was averted.
On the other hand, Biden sent a crew from the FDA to the plant that actually caused the crisis to solve the problems they had, invoked the Defense Production Act to get everyone else making more formula, and started importing FDA-approved formula from overseas.
