Trump Blames Hospitals For Shortages Of Supplies

The Washington Post reports:

President Trump has been focused on shifting blame for whatever becomes of the coronavirus outbreak. And on Sunday, he set about blaming hospitals and states for the well-established shortages of equipment to deal with the situation.

During the daily White House coronavirus briefing in the Rose Garden, Trump suggested that hospitals had squandered or done worse with masks and were “hoarding” ventilators, and that states were requesting equipment despite not needing it.

Trump’s boldest claim was about masks. He noted that current demand wasn’t commensurate with what hospitals typically use and suggested that masks were “going out the back door.”

Rather than deal with facts and take responsibility, the current occupant of the White House is blaming the first responders that this country needs. He is intentionally evil.https://t.co/ry7IgO0z9b
