The gang that can't shoot, strategize, or even shit straight

The Associated Press:

"The billions of tax dollars headed for hospitals and states as part of the $2.2 trillion coronavirus response bill won’t fix the problem facing doctors and nurses: a critical shortage of protective gowns, gloves and masks.

"The problem isn’t a lack of money, experts say. It’s that there’s not enough of those supplies available to buy."

Perhaps one, underlying reason why is this tweet from February. For once the Trump administration tried like the gloating little engine it is to think just a trifle ahead — although the U.S. intelligence community had already warned that the virus would eventually hit at home — but in doing so, it characteristically and really fucked things up:

We have coordinated with U.S. organizations to transport more humanitarian relief to people in Wuhan. Personal protective equipment and other medical supplies donated by these organizations can help save lives in #China and help protect people from the #coronavirus. pic.twitter.com/57SN2TXfLP
