27. It's not by accident.
Mon Aug 3, 2020, 07:35 PM
Aug 2020

The news for the past week has been talking about trump and Kush thought that the virus would only hit blue states, so they decided not to do anything helpful.
Seriously.
Kush was put in charge...of course...of the virus management, he actually got a bunch of his friends together and they all sat around and made plans on paper, and Kush ordered about 30-50 million in supplies from...get this...UAE
which were shipped to Saudi Arabia and then to WH...I dunno why.. or even what was actually shipped,
and UAE wanted its money for them but WH accounting said no because the paperwork wasn't correct

ANNNND
then that was the end of it. End of plan, end of doing anything.
I think Kush/trump were doing something sketchy about that shipment.

I have not heard anything yet about where the stealing all the PPE supplies from the states, and Canada came in.

But the thinking is that since a few brand new medical supply companies were opened, with a lot of inventory, for sale to the states.....
