President Donald Trump said Friday his administration will try to stop “profiteers” from exporting medical protective gear.

Hey Trump? Go look in the mirror.

but he can't process not ripping people off.

So the supplies 'have to' go to the private sector for a state bidding war, and the profit gouge is built in. It's built in, baked in, as unchangeable, like laws of thermodynamics or gravity.

“OMG, where is Mother?!”

Only thinking of themselves and grandstanding

Canada sends medical products to the US in an abundance. Including MDs and RNs and ARNPs and technicians, who come across the Border every day to jobs in American medical facilities.

If trumpie wants to stop profiteering, then he needs to start with himself.

And get that rat-faced ferret SIL out of our faces.

the pulp that comes from only one source -- Nanaimo, British Columbia.

Canada doesn't have all the manufacturing capability we need, but the US doesn't have all the raw materials it needs. We have a symbiotic relationship which the orangeanus doesn't understand.

I understand and agree with limiting exports right now, but there's no reason why we shouldn't be sending at least SOME to our neighbors in the Americas.

and putting it up for auction, he wants the criminal proceeds going only into his pockets.

NOT fuck up. The same administration who shipped tons of supplies to China. Seriously, I can discern no logical thought process or strategy in anything he does. Hell, it's not even tactically sound. He simply reacts like a 5 year old, with no thought of the past or any future ramifications.

No wonder his supporters love him so. He's just as immature, stupid and petty as they are. As apt to damage himself with his pettiness as anyone else. But his supporters don't mind. They routinely do the same shit to themselves.
