BACKGROUND:

Crime syndicates demand loyalty and take care of their own.  But only their own.
Trump has denied vital equipment to the governors of states hardest hit by COVID-19.  Shipments to some have been intercepted. Others have had orders cancelled and redirected to the federal government.
He has, however, equipped his political allies.  Florida received 100% of supplies requested from FEMA.  Democratic leaning states received only about 17%.  
Now it’s politically profitable to be a “war-time president”.  So he’s again bullying and enraging some of our most stalwart allies, seizing their equipment shipments overseas.
Much of the of life saving equipment brought into the US by the federal government is turned over to private markets, whose profits skyrocket because desperate states are left to bid against each other.  
Trump, the master of projection, has actually accused health care professionals of selling ventilators and PPE, which their lives depend on, “out the back door”.  Someone is profiting from this tragedy, and it’s not our front-line health workers, but those in the supply line.  
Congress should be in session and working to protect the people they represent.  And they also need to investigate the politicking and profiteering of this administration.  It’s costing lives.
