Feckless Trump Blames Cuomo For Shortage of Ventilators
by Michael John Scott
An out of control Trump went off the rails during a Fox News “town hall” which included the White House coronavirus task force. The feckless American president read a headline from the right-wing website, and notorious conspiracy source, Gateway Pundit, that accused New York Governor Andrew Cuomo of establishing “death panels” in his response to the coronavirus outbreak. Remember “death panels?”
Trump, citing the article, said that Cuomo “had a choice” to order thousands of ventilators back in 2015 but refused to do so.
“This says, ‘New York Governor Cuomo rejected buying recommended 16,000 ventilators in 2015 … for a pandemic,’” Trump said, reading from a printout of the article. “‘…established death panels and lotteries instead.’ So, he had a chance to buy in 2015, 16,000 ventilators at a very low price and he turned it down. I’m not blaming him or anything else, but he shouldn’t be talking about us.”
It should be noted that the Gateway Pundit has an incredibly low credibility rating from fact-checkers. According to the media watchdog group NewsGuard, the Gateway Pundit “regularly publishes hoaxes and widely shared conspiracy theories.”

He is fighting to find everyone and anyone to blame for his screw ups. There may be no history of how bad he has ruined this country. At least no written history because he, quite naturally, keeps fighting for the money. This is truly Nero playing the violin as Rome burns.
He has to blame someone because his narcissism will not allow him to blame himself.
What a country we are. Yes, I remember making a substantial bet with someone who was pushing the Death Panel theory about Obamacare. Did you read it? I asked him – some mumbling about Fox News was what he replied, and somehow he couldn’t quite remember the bet afterward. What a country. The guys who don’t actually work want me to go bag groceries over at Publix. It’s sad enough that people my age have to do that while turds like Glenn Beck and Limpdick Limbaugh and Donald Trump who do nothing at all want me go and die for the economy so their grandkids can play on the beach.
Fox News? No Town, no hall – just companionship for the deranged, incompetent, unintelligent and malicious. Tet these people go out and push shopping carts and stock the shelves at Walmart. Hell, let these pompous liars get real jobs and die for the economy the’re ruining Surplus population and all that. Let them justify their lives by dying for something, and if they can’t think of anything, I have some ideas.
