Four years ago, Trump continued his dereliction of duty in the face of national crisis, telling governors they were on their own in the fight against Covid. “Respirators, ventilators, all of the equipment – try getting it yourselves,” he told them.

@rbreich@masto.ai People died because of trump’s approach to the distribution of masks and other personal protective equipment.
States were forced to compete against each other and with the federal government for supplies.
Feds were even confiscating shipments from the states. Governor of MD hid his state’s PPE from feds and called up National Guard to protect the stockpile.
This is how bad it was during the trump admin. People wanting a 2nd term have somehow forgotten this or don’t care.
