As health care workers around the country grapple with shortages in personal protective equipment during the COVID pandemic, the Federal Emergency Management Agency moved Friday to curtail the export of PPE abroad.
The new rule also provides that FEMA has the authority to redistribute scarce supplies of PPE.
The rule does appear to address a scandal that has developed from the Trump administrationâs initial response to the COVID pandemic. Trade data compiled by House Democrats and released on Thursday show that the export of medical supplies from the U.S. to China surged in February, with mask exports in particular more than 1,000 percent higher than the monthly average.
And it also seems like the Greedy Covidiot Kushner who is now in charge of the Trump regime Covid Response is cleaning up his mess as the House probes his role in seizing order of Covid medical supplies!

As of this morning, I am not discounting the likelihood that itâs actually private, organized crime. Joe Pesci will eventually play the out-of-retirement mobster who recognizes and seizes the opportunity. Christian Bale will play Jared.

Organized crime would make sense. This is the Trump regime, after all.
You have to hire someone whoâs already familiar with hijacking and how to distribute contraband to authorized dealerships, of course.
âOnly the best people!â
âInvested?â As in put up money?
No, I think you ask too much.
They just have to remember to get their patronâs beak wet when the payments come in.
The stupid never ends. I canât imagine how long it will take for the USA to recovery a semblance of respect in the world community after this pandemic is over. America First has never been good policy and never will be.
We may never know, but this sounds so plausible. Mob types are geniuses at exploiting any situation that can be transformed into money in their pockets. OTOH, Iâm certain the drump crime family are exploiting it also.
The more the actions of Trump and his minions become known, the more it sounds like the kinds of graft and corruption that used to happen in the days of Tammany Hall, what Al Smith once called âGood clean graft.â Trump is doing this right in our face as if it is just his usual business model (which, unfortunately, it is).
Ah, trouble is, the House can investigate now, and put people like Kushner under oath to testify. Sooner or later, the truth will out. These clowns are too foolish to understand that, largely because they are too foolish to have mature, knowledgeable people around them to explain to them the facts of life.
