(13,403 posts)"Trumps use of crucial medical supplies in a pandemic to cajole and punish governors who arent adequately nice to him is only the latest, most jawdropping example. Trump has been taking advantage of the power of federal procurement to try to enforce the silence of governors critical of his incompetent response to coronavirus: He has threatened to withhold essential equipment that will mean life or death for thousands of people in those states."

Trump is a vicious, vindictive thug.

They barely cover these symptoms...but certainly not the disease. We have elected (?) a dysfunctional madman to the most powerful position in the world. It's a different world now and many will not make it through
Time for acknowledgement by TPTB that a huge mistake has been made and we are in serious trouble. Clock is running. Maybe April 5 can help them see it if they haven't already?

(511 posts)and he says that they will eventually adapt to selling their goods only in America instead, doesn't it make more sense to buy their food for food banks instead of just cutting them $20 billion in relief checks like he did last time he levied tariffs?

USDA halts $615,000 worth of food meant for Milwaukee's Hunger Task Force
The Hunger Task Force says the U.S. Department of Agriculture has halted $500 million in deliveries to food banks nationwide.
Milwaukee's Hunger Task Force says $615,000 worth of food it was expecting this summer has been canceled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The Hunger Task Force, a nonprofit food pantry in West Milwaukee, tells WISN 12 News the USDA has halted $500 million in deliveries to food banks nationwide.
According to the Hunger Task Force, that $500 million in funding came from the USDA's Commodity Credit Corporation, which provides additional resources to purchase food from American farmers and ranchers and send it to emergency food providers.
Two orders from the Commodity Credit Corporation were set to be received between June and September, totaling $2.2 million worth of food for the entire state of Wisconsin.
