Ugh! Donnie, just shut up.

So now, May 7, 2020, you're blaming/shaming meat plant workers for getting sick?  Seriously?
Is it because, well, they're not as tough, fierce, stupid as you, Donnie?  Is it?  These people that work to put food on YOUR table, who actually work for a living?
The bullsh*t  coming from that mouth is astonishing.  Oh, and do you EVER take responsibility for anything?  Or is your entire life, your enter being, just a fluke of nature?

For most of us... YES.  A loud, resounding Yes.

On May 6, 2020, in "celebration", or Trump's version of a celebration, he invited a group of nurses, nurse practitioners and other healthcare workers into the Oval Office for a meet-and-greet.  You know where this is heading.

Trump contradicted a nurse he was honoring in the Oval Office, insisting there are no personal protective equipment, PPE, shortages in the U.S. despite her account that availability could be "sporadic" at best.
An on-the-ball reporter asked the nurses attending the National Nurse Day event if their PPE supplies are where they need to be right now, during the pandemic, and many nodded in agreement.
Sophia Thomas, president of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners said this, "I mean, I talk to my colleagues around the country.  Certainly there are pockets around the country where PPE is not ideal, but this is an unprecedented time."  She went on the say that she's been reusing a single N95 mask for "a few weeks now."
"We are nurses and we learn to adapt and do whatever we can do for our patients to get the job done and the care provided, and that's what we will continue to do as Covid-19 continues."  

And what does Supreme Leader/Overload Donnie Trump say:
"Sporadic for you but not sporadic for a lot of other people."  Unbelievable.

Pictures, as evidence, don't lie:  
When Nurse Sophia Thomas first speaks about PPE availability

Trump turns his head, as though he hears a noise. No eye contact.

Hmm. Interesting. More noise. Note the arms crossed. He's closing up.


And we have splashdown!  He's heard enough.  Isn't having it. NOT. MY. FAULT.  Completely shut down Nurse Thomas' comments.  Note the folded arms.

This is his typical stance, sitting, when he's heard enough. Conversation over. We're done here.
Pouty, whiny, sad, pathetic little man, Donnie J. Drumpf
 
 I wish, I really do, that Trump, Pence and that whole gang of his enablers in and out of the White House, would get this virus, fast and hard, so that just maybe, they'll change their tune and thinking.  

*Note:
Laurie Garrett, "The Coming Plague".  This book lays out in stunning detail what life will look like after a pandemic, such as Covid-19.  Ms. Garrett has studied this particular issue, viruses, for decades.  Seems like someone our leaders in D.C. (YES, Trump) should be paying attention to right now.
