I suppose that El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago's latest tantrum on the electric Twitter machine is excusable if he was “grim-faced” when he dispatched it, or appropriately sober when he hit “send.”

Massive amounts of medical supplies, even hospitals and medical centers, are being delivered directly to states and hospitals by the Federal Government. Some have insatiable appetites & are never satisfied (politics?). Remember, we are a backup for them. The complainers should have been stocked up and ready long before this crisis hit. Other states are thrilled with the job we have done. Sending many Ventilators today, with thousands being built. 51 large cargo planes coming in with medical supplies. Prefer sending directly to hospitals.



Yes, damn those junkie governors with their insatiable jonesing for masks and gowns and PPE, which they’re probably peddling on every street corner for cash to feed their ventilator habits. It keeps them from becoming productive members of society doing productive work like cutting hostag...er...testimonial videos praising the president*’s masterful handling of the crisis. How many dead or dying people constitute an “insatiable”? Now that we have this valuable new metric, undoubtedly devised in grim-faced sobriety as per the president*’s new tone, we should define it with grim-faced precision.
