'Try getting it yourselves': Trump told governors they're responsible for getting their own medical equipment to treat coronavirus patients
  • President Donald Trump told a group of governors on Monday that they're responsible for getting the vital medical equipment needed to treat coronavirus patients in their states.
  • "Respirators, ventilators, all of the equipment — try getting it yourselves," Trump told the governors during a phone call, The New York Times reported. "We will be backing you, but try getting it yourselves. Points of sales, much better, much more direct if you can get it yourself."
  • The Times reported that Trump's directive took some of the governors by surprise given that states are already working overtime to contain the spread of the virus and are hoping for more federal aid.
  • The Trump administration has been widely criticized for its lukewarm response to the pandemic, and states and cities are increasingly taking things into their own hands in the absence of strong federal guidance.

The leader of the Federal govt told state leaders they cannot rely on the Federal govt to provide needed medical supplies.

That's how it works in Canada last I checked. Fed gives the money, provinces decide what to do with it.

He said that it's quicker if you use existing point of sale instead of trying to use federal supply chains

  • Donald Trump wants $850 billion more in phase three of an economic stimulus package to combat uncertainty in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak
  • Much of this could be Trump's desired payroll tax cut, which is controversial among lawmakers on both sides of the aisle
  • Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is heading back to Capitol Hill Tuesday to request Congress consider the next steps for the economic stimulus package
  • But phase two of the package hasn't even made it through the Senate yet
  • Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell isn't rushing phase two and has not asked unanimous consent to bring the bill to the floor earlier this week
  • Phase one included more than $8 billion and the paid leave provision in phase two will cost $100 billion

And this is what the Democrats will get for their centrism - the Republicans have flanked them and will now run the election as the left-wing economic party.

Donny is an idiot, but he has a rudimentary understanding of economics, which makes him smarter on that issue than 99% of people running for congress and the entire Democratic establishment.
