In a recent interview on CNN, fake Vice President Mike Pence said that he didn’t think “president” Donald tRump “has ever belittled the threat of the coronavirus.”

Oh, really? Funny thing, that. Here a just a few choice examples:

On February 27, 2020, “president” tRump told the nation that the coronavirus would simply go away, and he brilliantly noted the spread of the virus might worsen before improving. “It’s going to disappear. One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear,” Trump ranted like a lunatic at reporters during a reception in the White House Cabinet Room. “From our shores, you know, it could get worse before it gets better. Could maybe go away. We’ll see what happens. Nobody really knows…”

Except for all the experts, of course. But what do they know? Fucking experts!

At a meeting with US governors on February 10^th, tRump said there was no need to worry about the coronavirus because it would go away when “the heat comes in.”

“A lot of people think that it goes away in April, with the heat, as the heat comes in. Typically that will go away in April. We’re in great shape, though. We have 12 cases, 11 cases. And many of them are in good shape now.” (Over 100K a/o 4.9.20…)

This public health fiasco is the story of complete and utter failure from the top down. tRump has no ability to manage a paper route, let alone a global pandemic. He hates experts…and basically anyone who’s smarter than him. That is problematic, to say the least, because that includes just about everyone.

But his rotating staff of drooling cretins is a loyalty-based tribal structure, so he makes it work.

“So, the Coronavirus, which started in China and spread to various countries throughout the world, but very slowly in the U.S. because President (t)rump closed our border, and ended flights, VERY EARLY, is now being blamed, by the Do Nothing Democrats, to be the fault of ‘(t)rump,’” tRump bizarrely tweeted in the third-person on February 27th.

Oh, my! What to do? We have a “president” who refuses to take any responsibility for a crisis he makes worse by the hour. Never in our history have we had such a weak, spineless, utterly craven leader. Given a golden opportunity to take the reins and really make a name for himself as a hero to his people and the world during this tragic moment in history…we get stuck with this moron.

In other developments, the US angered former allies Germany and France by seizing millions of medical face masks which were set to be shipped to the European nations amid the coronavirus crisis. German officials hit out at Umerka for ‘intercepting’ 200,000 masks they had ordered from a 3M factory in China. Berlin’s Interior Minister said they considered it an “…act of modern piracy.”

USA! USA! USA!

Shadowy US “buyers” paid three times the going rate to secure a shipment of masks from China that were supposed to be sent to France, officials claim. Kushner’s Secret Team paid a million dollars cash to divert the cargo to the USA. The mysterious buyers commandeered the shipment as the plane was sitting on tarmac, ready for takeoff at Shanghai airport.

The order of several million masks was due to arrive in north-west France, an area where intensive care facilities are already struggling to cope with the volume of coronavirus patients. US officials flatly denied allegations of diverting much needed medical supplies from Germany and France…which means it is 100% certain the allegations are true, based on past history and common fucking sense. The only thing these scum are capable of doing is lying. And yet they are even incompetent at that.

Jared Kushner most certainly ordered the illegal seizures, and the raids were carried out by CIA? DIA? NSA? Mossad? US special forces? Kushner’s secret private army? Who the fuck knows anymore. This nation is run by thugs and gangsters now, and gangsters do whatever the fuck they want. Laws no longer apply. Why would they NOT do shit like this?

This week, tRump also removed the acting inspector general for the Defense Department, Glenn Fine, from his post…which means Fine will no longer chair the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee tasked with overseeing $2 trillion in emergency coronavirus funding. Now Team tRump will exclusively handle disbursement of the funds.

Like, what could possibly go wrong?

Fine had been tasked with preventing “waste, fraud, and abuse” in the use of coronavirus relief money. A Defense Department spokeswoman could not explain why Fine was removed from his post, because there was no valid reason. The real reason, as any critically thinking human knows, is so that the tRump crime family can siphon off most of the money on behalf of the evil empire.

“President” tRump also tried to force Umerkin companies into prioritizing U.S. orders by invoking the Defense Production Act. On April 4 The Despot used the DPA to order 3M to stop sending any N95 masks to Canada and Latin America.

3M warned of “significant humanitarian implications” of ending shipments to those countries, saying the company is “a critical supplier of respirators” there. 3M also said other countries would likely retaliate, reducing the overall number of respirators in the U.S.

So yeah, we can destroy longstanding alliances and kill people at the same time. The ole ‘two birds with one stone’ trick!

Meanwhile, multinational corporations are making a windfall off the coronavirus…just as I predicted. About a third of all emergency rooms are staffed by doctors from just two physician staffing companies: TeamHealth and Envision Health. Both are owned by Mega Wall Street investment firms. Private equity firm Blackstone Group owns TeamHealth. Kravis Kohlberg Roberts (KKR) owns Envision. Surprise, surprise!

Some hospitals are now telling doctors treating coronavirus patients they will be fired if they speak to the press about the lack of adequate supplies or the complete lack of coordination. Dire shortages of vital medical equipment in the Strategic National Stockpile are clearly hampering the coronavirus response, but if they talk about it, they’re out of a job.

This sad situation can be traced back to the bitter budget wars of the Obama years and beyond, when Republicans who were elected on the Tea Party platform forced the White House to accept all sorts of sweeping cuts to federal spending. Because, you know…“that big ole evil guvmint is too big an’ ornery for its own good. We need to cut all them liberal programs down to size…”

Among the victims of those highly partisan battles was – you guessed it – the federal stockpile of masks, ventilators, pharmaceuticals and other medical equipment. All the stuff needed to respond to a future public health crisis just like the one we face today. But back then, legislators were on a mission to shrink government to the point of irrelevance, and well, they succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

At the time, legislators from both parties raised the specter of shortchanging any potential future disaster response – even as they voted to approve the massive budget cuts. This crisis is the result of their ignorance and shortsightedness.

And yet, despite the myriad, ongoing failures, tRump continues to tighten his firm grip on the levers of what’s left of our government. He is running the nation like he owns it, and maybe he does. The man is a parasite eating the country from within. The entire tRump crime family are parasites sucking the soul out of the nation, and like the novel virus it weakens us and will eventually kill us.

And this ‘taking the system down from the inside’ appears to be totally deliberate. Like, when there are so many qualified experts fully capable of coordinating the effort to fight the spread of COVID-19 in the US, our fearless leader puts Jared fucking Kushner in charge? WTF?

We’re doomed.

But hey, there are no more rules in this Darwinist era. That’s gone right out the window. It’s every man for himself, bro. And I do mean MAN. In tRump’s Umerka, it’s white guys uber alles. Fuck the women. Fuck the children. Fuck the elders. Fuck everybody, including your own goddam family, apparently.

The ends – profit and power – justify whatever means are necessary to hoard more and more fucking resources for what purpose, godonlyknows.

Of course The Despot appointed his idiot son-in-law to front the coronavirus response committee in a lame attempt to hide the profound ineptitude that is going on behind the scenes.

NY Governor Cuomo pleads publicly for ventilators, and he’s dismissed by Kushner as if he’s screaming like the sky is falling…when the sky is falling! People are dying, and Jared is dismissive.

But that’s the thing: these people really don’t give a shit. All they want is their goddam money. Demons like tRump and Kush and Stephen Miller have no soul. It’s pretty fucking obvious, isn’t it? Zero empathy; zero human emotion. These creatures are like robots…poorly programmed robots. Maybe they actually are replicants. That would certainly explain their lack of any sort of human emotion.

Nothing is off the table at this point…maybe we’ll have aliens landing on the White House lawn next. Who the fuck knows?

Kush has failed yet again if his mission was to try to deflect criticism in the media from his father-in-law’s grotesque incompetence.

Governor Cuomo is scared for New Yorkers.

tRrump is scared for tRump.

Now he’s pulled US funding from the World Health Organization because…well, because of his objection to the words ‘world’ and ‘health.’ I guess.

The tRump-Kushner-Miller mindset is like the Coronavirus – there is no vaccine for it, and there is no cure.  It just has to run its course…or not…
