Can you think of something that better exemplifies the hypocrisy of so much of the rhetoric in the Trump era? The same President who stops just short of calling Obama a traitor for sending pallets of cash to Iran sends 18 tons of medical supplies to China, the oppressive regime that started this whole mess and has been dishonest about it from the start?
I can’t help but think as this story gets more broadly known that nurses, doctors, aids, and techs (and their families) are going to remember who didn’t put America First every time they have to re-use a facemask.
