Trump Stops Federaly Funding Virus Testing - WTF
Apr 11th, 2020 at 7:35pm
 
I could hardly believe it when I heard this ...

Quote:
As the virus is escalating, Donald Trump is ending federal funding for coronavirus testing in some of the nation’s worst hot spots.

Without federal funding, testing centers will lose resources and some with have to close. The decision appears to be another step in the Trump plan to blame the states for the coronavirus. By limiting testing in some of the hardest-hit places, Trump will also limit the number of reported cases of the virus. Such a move could allow him to point to a false decline in cases that he could use in his argument to reopen the economy.

Perhaps he wanted to reopen the economy for something other than a selfish reason, then again perhaps not!

Quote:
President Trump, whose businesses have been hit by coronavirus-related shutdowns, has lost an estimated $1 billion in recent weeks, according to Forbes magazine, which released its annual ranking of the richest people in the world on Tuesday.

As the coronavirus spreads across the US, many of Trump’s resort properties have either closed or are operating with a skeleton staff as bookings plummet, according to the New York Times. The paper reported this week that the Trump Organization is in discussions with its creditors about delaying some loan payments.

As a result, Trump’s net worth is estimated to have fallen to $2.1 billion, down from $3.1 billion in early March, according to Forbes.

*
Less than a day later he was forced to reverse his decision on the funding of testing centers.

Quote:
The White House on Thursday reversed its decision to cut federal resources for testing sites, according to NPR. A bipartisan group of lawmakers wrote a letter opposing the federal pullback to Alex Azar, secretary of Health and Human Services, apparently prompting the change in plans.

Why couldn't you believe it?

If people aren't tested, the number of cases can't go up.

He doesn't care how many people die, as long as the numbers go down and he gets re-elected.

He's a sociopath - you need to remember that when analysing his actions.

Now now, Greggery, Mr Trump relies on gut instinct. He has to - the US has lower testing rates than all the other developed countries.

Besides, he wants to let people go back to work by March. Why on earth would you want the expense of testing them?

No, that's the states and the hospitals' job. Mr Trump is not responsible for testing, just letting people out.

The buck stops with them, no?

But not to be stopped, Trump is wanting to block increased funding to hospitals so it can go to economic stimulus payments.

Has anyone not yet worked out that trump cares literally NOT AT ALL about human lives and only about money? If you doubted before that he was a genuine conscience-free sociopath, then doubt no longer. The proof is abundant and he is killing people.

Sociopaths often become serial killers. Trump is now a serial killer in plain sight. Remember his boast about shooting someone on fifth avenue? He was underplaying it. And morons like rich dud and mechanic the ex-con still support him.

He is a Business Man and he represents all Business People of America as their worthy Representative.
Something different than another Media lackey Celebrity offer.

He obviously doesn't have an inkling about Medicine and Procedures and needs. Hillary ripped off the Medical industry to fund Obama. She would have been far worse - trust me.
Medicine is not his strong point, that much is obvious.

But he's the only one capable of resurrecting the USA Economy and that's what the people want of him.

Not his fault the American System lacks a Doctor or Professor that will stand up and take charge. Instead - it's a Health 'minister'. Roll Eyes

Obviously.

Especially when he keeps doing bizarre things like this:

https://www.weeklytimesnow.com.au/donald-trump-calls-the-coronavirus-a-brilliant...

This guy sums Trump up very well:

Donald Trump has tested positive — for the bulls**t virus

https://www.salon.com/2020/04/11/donald-trump-has-tested-positive--for-the-bulls...

Quote:
Trump bluffed his way through everything else in his entire life, but he has finally tested positive. He's on life support. He didn't catch the virus. The virus caught him.


Indeed.
