Trump just accused hospitals/med centers of maybe stealing and selling masks

[underpants]

After one of the CEO's spoke on masks demand going from 10-20k per week to 200-300k at individual locations.

Trump steps up and says to th reporters "Someone should look into that. How do you go from using 10,000 in a week to 300,000? Are some of these going out the backfdoor? (Talking down to the press) Someone should look into that. To me that doesn't make sense to me".

Paraphrased.

1. He lies when he gets in trouble

Then his supporters and Russian trolls helped spread his lies on Twitter and make hashtags about its trend.

[coti]

2. Because that is what HE would do. nt

[ecstatic]

4. bingo! He's a criminal minded POS. nt

[Newest Reality]

3. Meanwhile...

He is stealing my country in public, broad daylight even.

Projection. I bet he has access to many spoils of his tyranny already. More to come.

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. More than stealing your country, he is KILLING you and your family, right now

[cwydro]

5. I can't watch these things.

He really said that?

35. This asshole would sell a steak twice at his restaurant

It was returned
Just wait for the next medium rare order
It's been cut
Turn it around and move it into the ashes potatoes

[Initech]

7. What a fucking asshole.

It's the opposite - my brother just texted me a picture of a pile of masks baking in an oven because they do not have enough masks to meet the demand, and it's only going to get worse. Fuck off, Donny Dipshit. These lives are on you.

9. Kelley O'Donnell following up on the masks

He hears stories like that all the time. He wants Cuomo and DeBlasio to check on that.

[malaise]

12. Evil - he hasn't delivered so blame the hospital staff and call them thieves

Lock up this fucking monster

[underpants]

19. OAN blonde softball question. He announced OAN's name. Said it was a nice question.

He's called the virus "curse" "scourge" and "plague" today

[Initech]

25. The next president needs to ban the bullshit from the White House.

OAN, TruNews and Infowars all need to be banned and lose their credentials.

Biden won't fix things overnight but he can at least get the smell of stupid out of the room.

[malaise]

8. Kelly O'Donnell just called him on it

This is madness

[underpants]

10. "Could be hoarding. Could be worse than hoarding. I don't know"

[malaise]

15. See when you fail to deliver say you delivered

and call the hospital staff thieves.

This is absolutely unacceptable and the media should cut this fuckery off

[underpants]

21. "What if we did nothing?" He asked

You DIDN'T do anything for two months!

[2naSalit]

40. Because HE is hoarding and

has also probably SOLD a lot of the national stockpile when he terminated it... probably for money for his wall.

Speaking of walls, we need to put a wall round him, actually four of them.

[bullwinkle428]

11. Now he said "MAYBE WORSE"!!

[zackymilly]

13. People who make these accusations are people who who would do it if they had the chance. n/t

[Walleye]

26. Exactly

[crickets]

29. ding!ding!ding! Yep. nt

[bdamomma]

14. why don't they

ask him about sending our supplies to China?? He is despicable, placing blame on our Drs and nurses, that POS.

[malaise]

16. He's actually worse than that

Med ia should have cut him off

[Boomerproud]

17. When this nightmare is over I can't imagine what

we"re going to learn. It will be mindblowing.

[Takket]

22. i know, right???

we just see the shit that is out in the public, can you imagine the stories that will come from behind closed doors?????????

[Initech]

28. It's funny, I've always used the Yoda metaphor to describe this administration.

"Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering."

We've gone through all four - fear, anger, hate, suffering - in the span of four years under this POS.

[liberalmuse]

18. Which means Trump himself is stealing and selling masks.

He's always doing what he accuses others of doing. ALWAYS.

[2naSalit]

41. ALWAYS. ...nt

[bdamomma]

20. He should be arrested

of placing blame on our Drs and nurses. He needs his ass to be handed to him, Cut him Off.

[elias7]

23. Because, D-bag, that's how many we need when we use them correctly

I no longer have words for him

[rufus dog]

24. I have a friend in procurement for a major CA corp.

They use the masks for clean room workers.

Due to the cluster of hospitals running out of masks, they were ordering N95s from their suppliers to donate to hospitals.

Now, do you think hospitals are still placing orders? Do you think hospitals are over ordering? Are other companies placing orders in higher quantities.

Classic whipsaw effect. Run our or run short and then over respond to the shortage.

Lack of leadership, lack of overall planning creates the problem.

So shut the FUCK UP Orange Shitstain, you are ignorant and creating issues.

[underpants]

31. Excellent points

[rufus dog]

33. to add, in addition of his horrible oversight he TOLD States they are on their own..

Go take care of themselves!!!

So if you are in a State procurement group and need to order some masks, what is the common response?

TO ORDER A SHIT TON!

Think about it, no reliable forecast based upon previous months or years, so you are taking a guess at demand. Thus you over order.

One of the problems for supply chain workers. If you over order you might hear about it once a year. You under order and run out and you are answering questions every day.

[underpants]

38. Yep

I work in procurement. Also you don't go through the quoting, ordering, approval, receiving, and payment process 4 times instead of one or two. Everything cost money including the process.

[rufus dog]

39. Exactly

Don't use my supply chain degree much anymore, but remember the basics.

[mikalcharles]

30. Geez I wonder why hospitals need more masks

[underpants]

32. Because....

Numbers.

[bronxiteforever]

34. +1

[npk]

36. Of course he did

It's always somebody else's fault. Remember what tRump said, he takes no responsibility for any of this.

[MadLinguist]

37. Doesn't understand compound interest rate

So how can he be expected to understand infection rate?

[CanonRay]

42. The ignorance is astonishing
