On Thursday, The Denver Post editorial board raked President Donald Trump over the coals for politicizing the allocation of critical medical supplies in the coronavirus pandemic, calling it a disgusting political game.
In just the latest example of his gross display, the president tweeted on Wednesday: Will be immediately sending 100 Ventilators to Colorado at the request of Senator Gardner!' wrote the board. Trump had only days before prevented Colorado Gov. Jared Polis from securing 500 ventilators from a private company, instead, taking the ventilators for the federal government. Polis sent a formal letter pleading for medical equipment, but the president took the time to make clear he was responding to a request from Gardner.

We (okay, maybe just I) have been pissed at the kid-glove treatment Trump has gotten from the media for the last four years. It's good to see him called out for his impotent response to the pandemic and his self-aggrandizing ways.
