He wouldnt know truth if it walked up and punched him in the nuts.
What a weird time.
The president’s lies can be immediately obvious. You don’t even have to dig for information to prove them.
Sorry, I must have missed it or can’t see it. Who was fired?

States smuggle PPE to avoid federal seizures as House probes Kushner
Now, states and hospital officials are concealing shipments of supplies from the federal government in order to avoid detection. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat, recently secretly bought millions of masks and gloves from China. He kept the details under wraps, "because we've heard reports of Trump trying to take PPE in China and when it gets to the United States," a source familiar with the situation told the Chicago Sun-Times.
"The governor has clearly outlined the challenges this administration has faced as we've worked around the clock to purchase PPE for our health-care workers and first responders," a spokesperson for Pritzker told the outlet. "The supply chain has been likened to the Wild West, and once you have purchased supplies, ensuring they get to the state is another Herculean feat."
Dr. Andrew Artenstein, the chief physician executive at Baystate Health in Massachusetts, revealed in a letter published in the New England Journal of Medicine that he was questioned by the FBI after the hospital staff worked "around the clock" to secure a shipment of PPE.
From the same article.I feel like an old school Republican for the first time in my life.
f*** the federal government right now. Nothing but an obstacle to states (some states) that are trying to care for their people.
“Equipment and testing is up to you...we will seize all of your stuff to make that job impossible, along with do nothing to assist in any way...but it’s all up to you!”
Pelosi: Trump 'engaged in distractions' amid 'total failure' on testing
Speaking on "PBS NewsHour," Pelosi asserted that Trump has engaged in a series of "distractions" and "misrepresentations" in order to deflect responsibility for the handling of the virus's spread in the U.S.
"What is impeding the federal government from addressing the COVID-19 crisis is the president’s denial, delay in all of this, and that has been deadly," Pelosi said. "We are insisting on the truth and the president is engaged in a series of misrepresentations to the American people and that is the impediment."
She went on to argue that Trump has refused to recognize science and the role of government in the nation's response to the pandemic, noting that his recent decision to impose limits on U.S. immigration was another distraction to avoid blame.
"[Trump is] always engaged in distractions like immigration, distractions like supporting people in the street," she said. "They're all distractions away from the fact, the known fact, that he's a total failure when it comes to testing."
Trump has faced continued scrutiny over how his administration initially responded to the crisis, with many state officials regularly voicing concerns over a lack of testing and medical equipment. The administration promised tens of millions of tests would be available by the end of March, but only about 4 million tests have been conducted thus far.
