GAO report slams Trump administration response to the coronavirus pandemic
By Joe Davidson

A government watchdog study from a generally staid audit agency amounts to a wide-reaching condemnation of President Donald Trumps botched response to the covid-19 pandemic.
The 346-page Government Accountability Office document, much longer than most, outlines broad Trump administration failures so alarming that the normally circumspect auditors pronounced themselves deeply troubled. That constitutes an anguished cry from an office that prides itself on just-the-facts, albeit dull, reports.
Almost 90 percent 27 of 31 of the GAOs recommendations from June, September and November remained unimplemented as of Jan. 15, less than a week before Trump left office. The document was released last week.
GAO remains deeply troubled that agencies have not acted on recommendations to more fully address critical gaps in the medical supply chain, it said.

(23,191 posts)1. drumpfs plan was to kill the working class, steal our SS money and give it to the rich.
at first it was just profiteering, but then they figured out what they thought was a winning plan to keep themselves in office forever. Only it didn't work, they are too stupid to do reality and because their murderous lack of caring, even though the actual intent was hidden, was obvious for all to see.

Trump really showing his affinity for Andrew Jackson and Hitler here. Kill off the old, the sick, and minorities who were forced to get more exposure to the virus, and have less healthcare access than whites.

Sadly, this is just a common occurrence in Trump's world... He fucked us all up... everything he touched...
AND everything he just ignored and never touched.
