There certainly is a liar in the administration
Back on February 7, the World Health Organization sounded alarm bells about "the limited stock of PPE," noting demand was 100 times higher than normal for this equipment.
Yet the same day as the WHO warning, the Trump administration announced that it was transporting to China nearly 17.8 tons (more than 35,000 pounds) of "masks, gowns, gauze, respirators, and other vital materials." As Secretary of State Mike Pompeo noted in the press release announcing this shipment, "These donations are a testament to the generosity of the American people."
Americans indeed are a generous people. We want to help those in need. And at the time these medical supplies were shipped, more than 28,000 people in China were infected with nearly 600 deaths attributed to the virus. But how could Trump allow tons of vital medical equipment Americans to be transported to another country in February if, as he has claimed that since January, he fully understood the risk the United States was facing from the virus. Other nations were building up their stockpiles while Trump did rallies, golfed and called it a hoax.
Now do a but............

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!
Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

I wonder how much $$$$$$ Trump got for the generous donations.
Oh nothing.. I forgot how much he loves China.
Then again the sooner China recovers the sooner workers can get back to there 60 hour a week $1.00 an hour job to make more of the Ivanka clothing line.
