Let's be blunt: Trump's depraved attack on the IG at HHS displays a mindset that could lead to more deaths.
It's *hospitals* who told the IG that they badly need lifesaving equipment. Yet all Trump can hear is an effort to make *him* look bad.

Here's why this is so galling.
The IG report consists of *hospitals making their own constructive suggestions* on how government can help them *save more lives.*
Why doesn't Trump *want* to learn from this in order to avert as many deaths as possible?

It's worth stressing that this is *why we have IGs.*
They alert us not just to wrongdoing, but also to governing failures, so we can *fix them.*
But Trump simply refuses to admit error. And as @NoahBookbinder points out, in this case lives are at stake:

By the way:
Much of what these hospitals are reporting about equipment shortages is Trump's fault.
As NYT reports, the supply chains are beset by "confusion bordering on disarray."
And @GovPritzker bluntly says states must now "bid against each other."
