WH briefing today so far:

-Mnuchin + SBA reassuring on economic aid
-Kushner, why?
-Rear Adm Polowczyk says if there are supply problems, hospitals “need to look to states first,” then says USG is flying in supplies, handing them to commercial vendors to sell to states... wtf?
-Peter Navarro — also why? More excuses re why there is no PPE for hospitals but why the feds won’t do anything to fix the market. Blames “exporters” selling overseas. (WH could ban that if they actually took responsibility for anything)
-POTUS: people don’t need access to health insurance plans, they need cash payments. (Nope). States just have to bid against each other for supplies, they didn’t “stock up,” it’s their own fault.
-POTUS excessively praises Putin for bullshit aid, says "not concerned about Russian propaganda"
-Somehow OAN is still in the briefing room despite supposedly being banned, while actual real journalists have to rotate turns to get the few seats in the room.
-Kushner, in speaking about how everything is the states' faults, looks like talking physically hurts his translucent skin which has never in the past decade seen the sun, retreats back to napping coffin
Boy Wonder's book report missed that America is made up of states and without the states is literally nothing. https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1245852517474295809?s=21
