So we’re agreed Trump is stealing medical supplies right?

But what the Trump administration refuses to talk about is how it’s sending tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies to the nation’s largest medical-supply companies, with little public accounting.

Over the last three weeks, taxpayers have paid to fly the companies’ supplies to the U.S. from Asia on government-chartered cargo flights, while the firms have been free to sell the material to hospitals, clinics and others at prices they choose. That has saved the companies more than $25 million in shipping costs, savings they are not required to pass on to the medical systems, state governments and others who buy their products. The supply companies’ profits topped $2 billion last year, financial statements show.”

This is crazy

They’re probably big Trump donors. He told you who he was, this is no surprise.

Three years in and the corruption is still eye-poppingly surprising to me.

And no I didn’t vote for the tool, I have self respect. I never have voted for a Repo and I never will.

So taxpayers are paying to ship these in and companies can charge what they want? No price gouging laws?

Laws? Who cares about laws anymore? Certainly not Trump. He’s not just doing these things, he’s throwing it in our faces. And you just know that Trump and Jared are making money off of this.

+1
I really hope the next president goes ape on all this flagrant crime. It’s despicable and puts us firmly in tin pot dictator territory.

“Hours before our planned departure, we were told to expect only a quarter of our original order. We went anyway, since we desperately needed any supplies we could get. Upon arrival, we were jubilant to see pallets of KN95 respirators and face masks being unloaded. We opened several boxes, examined their contents, and hoped that this random sample would be representative of the entire shipment. Before we could send the funds by wire transfer, two Federal Bureau of Investigation agents arrived, showed their badges, and started questioning me. No, this shipment was not headed for resale or the black market. The agents checked my credentials, and I tried to convince them that the shipment of PPE was bound for hospitals. After receiving my assurances and hearing about our health system’s urgent needs, the agents let the boxes of equipment be released and loaded into the trucks. But I was soon shocked to learn that the Department of Homeland Security was still considering redirecting our PPE. Only some quick calls leading to intervention by our congressional representative prevented its seizure. I remained nervous and worried on the long drive back, feelings that did not abate until midnight, when I received the call that the PPE shipment was secured at our warehouse.”

So much disinformation here.

This is worth a watch.

What a load of lies that is.

Your man is thieving from hospitals so he and his cronies can profit, PP. All the video propaganda made by those cronies doesn't change that.

This plus that WaPo article on $55 million going to a non-existent company for PPE just makes you wonder what on earth is going on. Like this doctor says, we’re the richest country in the world. A total scandal that our doctors have inadequate equipment to fight COVID-19.

The Republican party is literally stealing from hospitals and sick patients. I would say it is unbelievable, except of course it isn't.

The question is why. What is this? Redistribution? Reselling? How does this benefit them?

Shell corporations owned by Trump supporters get to resell these at high markups to red states, thus lining their pockets and harming blue states..
