Trump Admin Still Stealing PPE Supplies Puts States On Guard | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
We are witnessing in the US one of the greatest failures of basic governance and basic leadership in modern times.
I agree, history in the making. What happens when a dictator tries to rule without knowledge of how.
Trump cultists: but.. but.. but.. omaba screwed up with the response to ebola! and the h1n1 flu epidemic! And hillary’s emails! Benghazi! This is all pelosi’s fault, for distracting the president with the impeachment scam! Soros created this virus in a chinese lab to damage the president!
You only have to go back a short while, Kushner saying “our supplies”.
Dave Ponsford exactly
“We’re not a shipping clerk. We’re a thief.” There is no limit on the number of times you can bring articles of impeachment against a president. Pelosi, how are mass endangerment and grand larceny not high crimes?
@james delb Yes, I’m a truth bot, and I exist even if I never did.
@TheSynthZone You know what? God is watching you, right now. Just thought you wanted to be reminded.
@Evangelia Hernandez Maybe this will make no sense to you, but… Al Final: https://youtu.be/Mm9pRo43fc0
@sarcasmostheGreat slayeroffools i do go to non bias news sources. ABC, CBS, and NBC. If they don’t have their facts correct then they get their license pulled. That’s what the F.C.C.is for. Its like a real oversight commission, not a fake one. As in any of the drumph family enterprises, during the white house years. Fr, just look at what they did to the economic stimulus package, and the “1” man overseeing the whole project. This is after drumph fired the real oversight commission.
What a piece of work. Smh.
@dino macioci ” do go to non bias news sources. ABC, CBS, and NBC.” Okay, well you lost all credibility when you said that. Both sides and the majority of America know that isn’t true.
As for the FCC pulling licenses…are you kidding? It’s never happened for doing fake news. Has it?
I know that you do not like President Trump always being right and working with doctors and scientists and listening to them, but it is the right and responsible thing to do. While you are busy metaphorically spitting on and throwing rocks at our first responders, they are busy saving lives, and they are going to go back into the burning building and try to save more.
So mock away, be unAmerican, but American citizens who love people and this country WILL NOT make up excuses to not help this President save lives. And they certainly will not be as the enemy of the people by mocking those working hard, day and night, to save everyone’s life, even yours and the lives of your loved ones.
This is what my grandparents called stealing the penny off the dead’s eye.
what a horrible way to get money.
@TheSynthZone
Exactly.
Carlotta Walker yes
Also known as stealing flies from a blind spider…
@Nicholas Abate
Never heard that one before. But so appropriate.
Is this what little boy jared Kushner meant when he said, “the federal stockpile is ours”.
@Matt how do you know that, Jeffrey epstien isnt real? Let me guess you beleive he killed himself lol
@Matt epstien is part of the pizzagate conspiracy, guess you havent done your homework.
hes crazy him and his dead eyes
@Matt that is exactly what is to be expected of him, although some might be going as “donations” to states whose governers have always kowtowed to him. After all that way people can point and claim he’s distributing them and he can claim the glory of it.
@Cold Beer Owes a lot to Deutche Bank and the Russians. He would be a billionaire if he had just invested Daddys’ money. Six bankruptcies! He is a Conman who didn’t pay his contractors,defrauded people with Trump University and hired illegals.
How can this be happening in the United States today? It’s like the wild west or prohibition. Corrupt government officials stealing from the states that ordered, paid for, and need them the most. It’s just despicable.
Leif Torgersen didn’t notice with”Odumass” ehhh just now ???
Shouldn’t its time to excercise 2nd amendments that the US proud of?
USA is death trap now…
Be creative
representitive democracy……think about it
They’re crooks.
Looks to me like, Donnie is trying to “promote” the spreading of this deadly disease.
He’s doing it systematically
@Joy Phillips So how’s that new job with the Trump spin team working out for you…????
Read his name. Mr. Don’t know trDumbp.
@TheSynthZone Russia’s….????
There is no question for me what you say is true.
When is someone with some actual power & will to act going to arrest this corruption? It’s exhausting hearing this & then having no one do anything about it!!!!
So why don’t YOU start organising something? That’s the trouble with all you guys you are all so terrified of trump you don’t do a thing.
I totally agree and I have been saying this for a long time, even before this covid-19.
As soon as Comrade Trumpet, & Comrade McConnell lose In November, and The New Real POTUS is Sworn in They’ll both be Indicted along with the rest 😎💪🇺🇸
Stop watching in disbelief remove your traitor inthief !
The WH is run by a group of the third-grade mafia.
They have also been stealing orders from other countries
NO…They are selling them to other countries FFS …If they were stealing them from other countries as well don’t you “think’ the U s would have plenty? Kushner is stealing them and selling them overseas for christ sake.
They taking it for the 1% who have probably paid to ‘survive’… this is the viral “Purge”… and we are being led by the most corrupt since Nixon.
@charles allan especially if we want it.
@charles allan we went into Vietnam years before Nixon became president.
If you think Trump is corrupt, then I tell you this.
Trump is not corrupt, BUT some liberals wanna destroy him/get him out of office. You see, from Russia investigation, to the impeachment trial… And now he’s STILL NOT IN JAIL. Why? Because they make hoaxes and lies JUST TO get him out.
Also, when the pandemic hit the US in January, he made actions to stop the virus. Imagine what will happen if he didn’t impose travel ban to China? The US would have much more deaths right now. Also, he said “It looks like by April, you know in theory, when it gets a little warmer, miraculously goes away.” That’s on February 12, when the number of cases in every country (except China) are LESS THAN 1000. Even Japan, the second highest at that time, had just about 200 people infected. As I said, China lied and the WHO helped them on the cover-up of the virus. So that’s why no one (except those who were in China, or maybe Japan at that time) knew that it wasn’t the flu.
Now, you still might ask “So why the cases in the US have skyrocketed, particularly in NY?” So when Trump imposed travel ban, why did Joe Biden call this “xenophobia”? Why did Nancy Pelosi visit San Francisco’s Chinatown and encourage people to go out? Why did Bill de Blasio encourage his NYC people to go out and watch latest movies DESPITE the pandemic? If all those messes didn’t happen, the number of cases in the US could not be skyrocketed days later.
In conclusion: Trump is not corrupt, but the liberals wanna get him out of office because they hate him.
At least Nixon was intelligent.
@Lotta Sunshine source? lolz
I still remember when the President accused the frontline caretakers of stealing ppe’s.
@Spok They could Remember he was IMPEACHED!!!… Just had Barr & Comrade McConnell Enabling and conducted Illegal Witnesses Tampering & Obstructing Justice! They’ll be taken to Task next yr buy this Time! How come Millionaires get $1.87 million before the rest get their $1200. Hotels & Restaurants got most if the Stimulus Money! That’s Crooked! 😎💪🇺🇸
@Spok He was Impeached that’ll be with his Legacy forever. He should leave like Nixon Did. Save some Face,and maybe he won’t go to Jail right away. The NYC Authority may get him First. Tax Evasion if nothing else! 😎💪🇺🇸
@Grand Dude He was acquitted of all charges. You know that you are not concerned with anything “crooked” or you would never, ever vote Democrat again!
@Grand Dude Remember, President Trump has helped out minorities more than any other US President, so the Democrats say he MUST GO ASAP! So they falsely impeached him for which he was acquitted.
Again, you are not concerned with corruption, or you would never vote Democrat.
@Spok Hey what has he done for Minorities? Giving $1200 that wasn’t his to give?😎💪🇺🇸
Impeached lying Donnie draft dodger. Treasonous criminal needs to be eliminated.
Welcome to the United Cesspool of America, ruled by the King of Fecal Waste!!
The Land of The Sleaze and The Home of The Slaves
Even the mob helped out during WWII as they had control of the shipping ports. It’s crazy that they were waaay more patriotic than the administration now.
Lucky luciano went against Mussolini in Italy in WW@ …AFTER merica had deported him. He still risked death to fight for the country.
It’s scary. That’s what it is. This is the business plan 2.0
They are STEALING from Grocery retailers as well. They seized a shipment of sanitizer and gloves that my company ordered
I’d love to see that hit the news. You should send proof to Rachel, and your local paper.
WOULD THEY REIMBURSE YOUR COMPANY FOR THE ITEMS SEIZED??????
WOW
The presidency has been reduced to a side hustle for millionaires and want to be billionaires for personal gains!!!!
And more riches for himself, family, friends etc. Total corruption, shortly said.
Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu what they did and what the Drumph family are doing are the same. The fix should be the same. Then we (Americans) divvy up all their assets. Sounds like a fair end to a horrid 3.5 years. Fr, if they’re as rich as they say they are, we will all be out of poverty.
Almost always was?
@dino macioci and many more!
@TheSynthZone i agree. The wealth inequality, or inequality in general is what has driven this car off the cliff.
He’s a criminal.
Of course he’s stealing.
Why in the world would anyone be surprised?
Why is everyone surprised? The motto of this administration has been “The end justifies the means” from DAY 1.
