Hotspots are not getting excess of supplies. The stuff goes to places politically aligned with president.

The same federal government that said few days ago that "The notion of the federal stockpile was it’s supposed to be our stockpile. It’s not supposed to be states’ stockpiles that they then use"

The same federal government that claimed governors should find their own supplies.

The same federal government that gives masks to private companies and then have countries outbid each other for them.

Not even. It is going in to HHS/FEMA warehouses where "vetted" medical suppliers can buy the inventory at wholesale rates and resell it to hospitals at market rate. A prominent GOP fundraiser just quit his day job to start a company named Blue Flame that within a week was on this coveted list.

Edit: I found a good Reddit comment that lays it all out with sources: https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/fwu2m0/hospitals_...

Do you have a source for this? The article here doesn't say where the stuff is going.

You're espousing an unfounded conspiracy theory based on a very forced interpretation of one person's offhanded remark.

Instantly disprovable with facts:

1. NY is not politically aligned with Trump in the least. They have received a huge amount of federal support.

2. Los Angeles is not politically aligned with Trump, they have also received significant federal support.

This kind of intellectual dishonesty among the anti-Trump is as shocking as Trump's own level of intellectual dishonesty.

Nothing about that person is intellectual, all about gaslighting and fear-driven policing.
