4, April 2020 Trump-Pompeo’s ‘generosity’ killing Americans
As the COVID-19
pandemic sweeps America, the Trump administration continued to export critical
medical equipment to China. Ignoring desperate pleas from State governors, the
administration allowed a steady flow of ventilators and personal protective
equipment (PPE) s to be sent abroad, with a shipment as recently as March 17.
Secretary of State Pompeo boasted that the shipments were a testament of
America’s “generosity”. Back on February 7, the World
Health Organization (WHO) sounded alarm bells that demand for PPE’s far exceeded
supply.
On the
same day as the WHO warning, the Trump administration announced it was
transporting nearly 17.8 tons of masks, gowns, gauze, respirators, and other
vital materials to China.
Growing
numbers of Americans are expressing outrage towards President Trump who seems
to thrive on basking in his own appalling ignorance and a callous unconcern for
the welfare of ordinary Americans. Most of the American media has repeated
Trump’s inconstant statements, initially claiming there should be no concern
and later insisting he was fully aware of the pandemic “before any other
American”. Recently he boasted of his vast knowledge of S. Korea claiming the
population of Seoul is 38 million!
Throwing
fuel on a raging fire, Trump and Pompeo identified the COVID-19
as a Chinese and WU-Han pandemic intensifying hate crimes against Chinese
Americans. Even Dr. Fachi, who continues to correct Trump’s misstatements,
received death threats.
