For some mysterious (probably criminally corrupt) reason, Trump does not want to 1) let Americans know what is in our Stockpile and 2) does not want to let Americans use our Stockpile.
Trump’s excuses for not letting states have access to supplies in our Stockpile range from: ‘They’re our stockpiles’ to ‘for us to use ourselves!’‘We’re not ordering clerks!’ to ‘We’re not shipping clerks!’
The hell he’s not! When it comes to giving states access to our supplies in our Stockpile; Donald Trump sure as hell is our “ordering clerk” and our “shipping clerk.”
Ordering Clerk: Receive and process incoming orders for materials, supplies and merchandise. Duties include informing customers of receipt, shipping dates, and delays; preparing contracts; and handling complaints.
Shipping Clerk: Oversees and keeps records of all receiving and shipping orders. Duties: Monitor packages from the start to finish, ensuring proper packing techniques and shipping practices. Shipping clerks also update inventory records and compile weekly or monthly reports.
I don’t know what the hell he thought his job as President was, but part of his job description during a national emergency is to be both our “ordering clerk” and our “shipping clerk.”
& why won’t Trump give us an inventory of our Stockpile? Is it because on February 7, 2020 Trump sent 18 Tons of our Stockpile: masks, ventilators, and other vital equipment to China to keep China from delaying out of their Trade Deal so now we don’t have enough?
China Phase One Trade Deal
- January 29: Media begin reporting that coronavirus could disrupt the U.S. Phase One Trade Deal with China — which was suppose to start Feb 14.
- February 4: Larry Kudlow admits the coronavirus will delayPhase One Trade Deal with China. Kudlow says “It is true the trade deal, the phase one trade deal, will take longer because of the [corona]virus. That is true.”
- February 7: Trump sends 18 Tons of our Stockpile to China with promise to send $1 Million.
The Phase One Trade Deal is very important to Trump because, no matter how weak the Phase One Trade Deal is, (and it is weak) Trump thinks having it will help him in his reelection.
Yes, Trump wants the Phase One Trade Deal to help his reelection, so again, did the 18 Tons of our Stockpile Trump gave to China deplete our Stockpile and Trump’s too scared to tell us?
March 15: Trump’s Secretary Azar refused to tell us our Stockpile inventory.
Be sure to look at his words (below) closely. It’s almost as if he’s saying we no longer have an inventory (sent to China?) so we have to rebuild it.
AZAR: [W]e will work to increase the supplies of personal protective equipment, of ventilators, of field medical unit hospitals that we can deploy. We have tremendous supplies, but we want to acquire more. And that’s thanks to the bipartisan work of Congress funding the emergency supplemental that gives us the money to scale up production here and abroad. And we’re doing that.
We don’t disclose concrete numbers on particular items for national security purposes, but we have many ventilators — thousands and thousands of ventilators in our system. We have received, so far, only, I think, one request for just several ventilators.
~Sec Azar March 15, 2010
On March 15, 2020 NY Gov. Cuomo responded to Azar’s statement and said Azar won’t give us an inventory because we probably do not have enough.
CUOMO: National security imperative is people would get very nervous if they knew how fewthey had… We’re looking at an overrun in New York in the tens of thousands. We’ve been behind this all along. The federal government has to step up.”
~March 15, 2020 in response to Azar
States have been begging & pleading for supplies from our Stockpile but Trump won’t send them and instead tells states to get their own supplies; even though the Stockpile is “their own supplies”
March 19: Trump refused to let governors have our supplies from our Stockpile and said,
TRUMP: “The Federal government is not supposed to be out there buying vast amounts of items and then shipping. You know, we’re not a shipping clerk.”
March 23: NY Gov. Cuomo again called on federal government to make use of our Stockpile of ventilators, saying to HHS Sec. Azar:
CUOMO "Look at the first word in the title of the agency you run: it is health. Your first priority is health...Release the ventilators to New York!"
March 27: Trump told Fox News that he “does not think New York needs 30,000 ventilators”
TRUMP: "I have a feeling that a lot of the numbers that are being said in some areas are just bigger than they're going to need. I don't believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators. You know, you go to major hospitals, sometimes they have two ventilators.
It was later revealed that Trump got that view from is ignorant son-in-law Jared Kushner.
KUSHNER: “I know how to make this government run now. I have all this data about ICU capacity. I’m doing my own projections, and I’ve gotten a lot smarter about this. New York doesn’t need all the ventilators.
No matter what Kushner or Trump thinks states need; their job, his job, is get states our supplies from our Stockpile that they ask for.
So why does Trump keep refusing? Is Gov. Cuomo right? Did the 18 Tons of our Stockpile that Trump gave to China deplete our supplies so badly that we can’t even ship enough to our states?
Is that why Trump & Kushner are now Iying to us and claiming that our Stockpile is not meant for our states to use.
”Our Stockpile”
KUSHNER"The notion of the federal Stockpile was it is to be our Stockpile. It's not supposed to be states Stockpiles that they use"
~Jared Kushner April 2, 2020
April 3: The day after Kushner told us our Stockpile is not meant to be for us to use; Trump again ranted that it’s not his job to be an “order clerk”
TRUMP: We have a federal Stockpile and they have state Stockpiles. And, frankly, they were — many of the states were totally unprepared for this. So we had to go into the federal Stockpile. But we’re not an ordering clerk. They have to have for themselves. But we have a Stockpile. It’s a federal Stockpile. We can use that for states, or we can use it for ourselves.
“Ourselves”
Who the hell is “ourselves?” Use “ourselves” to help China? Use “ourselves” to help Trump’s reelection?
Let those two quotes sink in:
KUSHNER: it is to be our Stockpile. It's not supposed to be states Stockpiles that they use"
TRUMP: “We can use that for states, or we can use it for ourselves.”
Trump’s comment “or we can use it for ourselves” in explaining Kushner’s “our stockpile” pretty much confirms that both Trump & Kushner mean the Trump Klan will use our Stockpile to personally profit in some way.
“Our Stockpile” helps Trump’s Reelection:
Is Trump’s “or use it for ourselves” Trump’s way of saying he [ourselves] gave 18 tons of our supplies from our Stockpile to China so China would not have to delay the Phase One Trade Deal in hopes that the Trade Deal will help his [ourselves] reelection?
So now we don’t have enough for the states?
Trump is hiding something big, but what? Theft of our Stockpile?
Trump has said crap from: “I ain’t your shipping clerk”— “It’s not your biz what’s in Stockpile”— “It’s OUR Stockpile & you can’t use it”— “We’ll use it for ourselves, not for you” and back to “I ain’t your ordering clerk!”
Trump Hijacking/Pirating/Stealing
But now, Trump has resorted to hijacking/pirating/stealing coronavirus supplies meant for from other countries rather than use our Stockpile. Why? Is there nothing in our Stockpile? Who is “ourselves?”
Headlines between April 2 — April 4
Trudeau: Supplies for Canada diverted to U.S. — Canada is investigating reports a shipment of medical supplies the country had ordered was diverted to the US. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he is "very concerned", adding that "we need to make sure that coronavirus equipment that is destined for Canada gets to and stays in Canada.
Americans Divert Supplies Meant for France—Dr Jean Rottner, an emergency room doctor in Mulhouse, told RTL radio that American officials swooped in at Chinese airport to take away a planeload of masks that France had ordered. Rottner said, "On the tarmac, the Americans arrive, take out cash and pay three or four times more for our orders, so we really have to fight."
Berlin Accuses U.S. Of “Piracy” Over Face Masks — The United States was accused of "modern piracy" after around 200,000 face masks bound for Germany were diverted to the U.S., according to German media reports. The Interior Minister of Berlin's regional government, Andreas Geisel, said the masks were “confiscated” at Bangkok airport. “We consider this an act of modern piracy,” he said.Berlin's mayor Michael Müller also weighed in on Friday, taking aim at U.S. President Donald Trump. "The action of the U.S. president is anything but one of solidarity or responsibility. It is inhuman and unacceptable. The federal government must insist to the U.S. that international rules are respected, including in times of the corona pandemic,"
Did Trump deplete our supplies in our Stockpile when he sent them to China on Feb 7? Is Cuomo right?
If Trump stripped us of our supplies in our Stockpile by giving them to China in exchange for China not delaying Phase One Trade Deal; then Trump needs to fess-up (fat chance).
If we do have supplies in our Stockpile; then Trump needs to open our Stockpile for our states & do his “ordering clerk” job & “shipping clerk” job and get our supplies to our states! And screw whoever the hell “ourselves” are.
