This is how badly Donald Trump is blowing it

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Donald Trump keeps calling himself the “king of ventilators.” Mike Pence promised that anyone who wants a coronavirus test can get a coronavirus test. But back in the real world, the Trump regime has done the bare minimum to supply medical equipment to the states – and in numerous instances the Trump regime has stolen equipment from the states so it could sell it back to the states.

Just how badly is the Trump regime blowing it? Check this out from New York Governor Andrew Cuomo:

Thank you to the government and people of Qatar from the people of New York. We are grateful for your assistance in helping send critical supplies and for the donation of aid.

That’s right. A nation on the other side of the world, with a total population that’s just a fraction of New York City, is doing more to help New Yorkers through this crisis than the Trump regime is doing. That’s just pathetic. Thank you to Qatar, but if the Trump regime were doing its job, the overseas help wouldn’t be necessary.
