Idea was to catch Trump unprepared and have the media run with it.
Respirators/ventilators are a prime example. Really didn't help but there weren't any, so make it an issue. Trump mobilizes private sector and fucks them up.
Same with hospital beds and PPE. Trump steps up again and fucks them up.
Go back to Fauci saying in a 2017 Georgetown (I think) speech that Trump would face a pandemic before his term is up. Trump has said country was woefully unprepared, and it becomes known that NY sold their respirators some years ago.
You have to ask the question, if Fauci knew there would be a pandemic why was he taking steps to make sure the country was prepared for it?
It was/is a setup to make Trump look unprepared. My opinion is that with human trafficking, oil, weapons and drug running revenue drying up, DS may really need that pharmaceutical cash cow, and that is a big part of the problem now; the reason DS Governor pawns are screaming no lockdown end util there's a vaccine.
Trump fucked them up again, big time, by bringing up HCQ/ZPACK.
