President Trump

[TYLERTECHSAS]

Where were the governors?

Even the governors can’t really solve the problem because people are free to cross state lines and if your neighboring state isn’t taking the same action it’s spread comes over and frustrates your effort. You make the sacrifice but don’t get the benefit.

So you think Trump should have stopped all of America's interstate crossings? But Trump shouldn't stop the illegals and human trafficking by so many rogue nations at our southern border? Seriously?

Can’t expect cities or even businesses to make the right calls for the overall public good, even though many have. The decisions they make impact other communities and vice versa. That is why we need a total federal response. Otherwise any state or city is really powerless to protect its citizens.

Governors and mayors are suppose to in a states right government like we have here in America. Governors and mayors have become to complacent as they always begging for federal help, money, assistance vs handling their own issues; which they have every right to do. Did you know that Trump and his ADM have been having to teach and relearn the governors on their rights to actually act? Many governors and mayors have been acting totally helpless and of course political.

Of course I don’t think governors should be able to close their state borders. That is why I think we need a federal response.

Exactly. Federal government had to rely on state and local governments to be the "front lines" in disasters like this so that those at the federal level can direct federal aid to where it is needed most. Federal response has historically been slow in several cases. Many slammed Trump for saying that Governors were "own their own", which of course was false. All he was saying is that Governors and mayors have the right to get critical supplies "own their own" if they can get them quicker than the fed can respond. Governors all the time take "business trips" to foreign countries to try to get foreign business money, manufacturing etc. in their state. Why would reaching out directly to manufactures of masks, ventilators, etc. be any different?

Speaking of... Florida’s governor is targetting restrictions against people from Louisiana.

Because governors are competing with each other for the same limited medical supplies. If Louisiana is competing against New York for limited ventilators and masks, Louisiana will most likely not get their share.

Stupid thing to say...but you're good at stupid things to say.

Why is it a stupid thing to say? What state is going to give another state some of its excess capacity if they think they are about to need it?

So the Fed should mandate who gets what? How would you determine that NY is more "worthy" than Louisiana?

How are they going to distribute the ventilators they just ordered GM to make?

There is a federal system to distribute organs, which there aren’t enough of to meet demand, so I am sure the feds could use a similar system for other critical supplies.

That's not what you said. You said NY is more likely to get their share at the expense of Louisiana. That stupid-ass comment was just meant as a dig toward those of us in Louisiana. That's fine...you can issue all the digs you wish, but they are still stupid.

Very targeted is good! Make it for NYer's and those from the leftist coast (Washington and it's nut case Governor) as well.

Thats what Americans with our Judeo-Christian backgrounds should do.

Trump told GM(Obama's Government Motors) to take a hike after they, bailed out Government Motors, tried to price gouge the American people. What a shame and scam! Trump was PISSED and rightly so!! Now if it changed late last night then we will see what GM can do.

But you obviously didn't watch yesterday's update from the WH due to your TDS.

Ford needs some major props for getting after it!! Not worthless Government Motors. I will still never by a GM product again, which I haven't in 20+ years.
