Ah yes, the "dangling of ppe to state governors". Another interesting look into the progressive mindset. The virus had just officially made it into the U.S. and the first thing the liberal state governors do is run to Trump and demand he give them ppe. This is after they had been attacking him as a xenophobe for restricting travel, of course.
Trump responds by asking them "Did you guys even try to secure a supply of your own before barging in here to make demands?" Naturally they hadn't because "it's the federal government's job to take care of us". After some back and forth, Trump finally said he'll go ahead and dip into the national stockpile. Ah, but low and behold, the national stockpile had not been resupplied after Obama had drained it for N1H1. Turns out there just weren't enough ppe to go around. The liberal governors blamed Trump for this as well.
Meanwhile, other state governors were busy saying thank you to the My Pillow guy, among others, who had retooled their factories to produce ppe all on their own and without some royal edict from the president ordering them to do so.
