Turns out, fairly early in this mess, Trump, Jared, and a couple of lackeys were having a tickle-and-slap party in the Oval Office. The subject of test kits was brought up. Jared suggested that increased testing would make Trump look bad, as that would increase the reported number of cases. Trump agreed. They resolved to do nothing to ramp up production.
Then Jared mentioned the federal stockpile of ventilators. Trump said that releasing the stockpile to hard-hit states would also make him look bad.
So the decision was made that day to DELIBERATELY WITHHOLD test kit production, ventilators, and PPE. Tens of thousands died because Trump didn't want to endanger his reelection chances.
The joke on him is that his failure to act may cost him the election, whereas acting quickly and decisively would probably have ensured a win come November.
And then they went back to sucking each other's dicks. Our heroes in the White House.
