President Donald Trump kicked off Monday’s press briefing on the coronavirus much like every other, by running through daily updates about the deadly virus and the White House efforts to eradicate it.
But unlike in typical briefings throughout the pandemic, in which various members of the administration discuss what their agencies are doing to combat the virus or help blunt its economic toll, Trump yielded the stage first to a handful of business leaders — one of them a staunch supporter who went off script in a moment of effusive praise for the president.
When the president beckoned the executives to the lectern to say a few words about their efforts, up first was Lindell — a major Republican donor, the Trump campaign’s chairman for Minnesota and someone who has called Trump the “greatest president” in American history and someone who was “chosen by God.” But his remarks went beyond the polite accolades and brief summary of steps his company is taking to assist other corporations in preparing to weather future pandemics.
Folks, it’s about money. Trump is not using the act because he’s helping his friends in manufacturing and pharmaceutical make money on us in this time of crisis. Prime example is Trump allowing FEMA to bid against states for equipment. Outrageous. GOPDeathCult
You’re lucky we have incompetent president!
That’s certainly generous and needed, but this had to be done weeks ago
🤦😥🤦😥🤦😥we're fucked😥😥😥😥😥
What are they doing, he's standing by, next to the person that should be saying 'Go'?
If he didn't need the act then why is he offering now and not already in production.
You know, this is BS for UTC CEO, “standing ready” isn’t helping; try stepping up more proactive and stop placating a President doing a very poor job, and make a difference now. Coronavirustruth TrumpLiesAboutCoronavirus BailOutPeopleNotCorporations
All well and good but here in the real world 'Alice' they are having bidding wars over these vital items and did he borrow Trump's suit it's three sizes too big.
