President Donald Trump wants people to stop stockpiling supplies out of fear of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I ask all Americans to band together and support your neighbors by not hoarding unnecessary amounts of food and essentials,” Trump tweeted on Monday. “TOGETHER we will stay STRONG and overcome this challenge!”
As worry over the deadly coronavirus continues to skyrocket, many grocery stores across the country have continually been left with rows of empty shelves to the point where stores have had to adjust their opening hours to ease the burden of the sudden rush.
Additionally, largely populated areas of the U.S., such as New York City and Washington state, have seen shutdowns of restaurants and restrictions to take-out and delivery only. On Monday, six Bay Area counties in northern California ordered a three-week “shelter in place” policy for the 6.7 million residents who live in those areas.
Perhaps Trump and his closest advisors should have not hoarded all the stupidity, incompetence, and lying about the coronavirus and their disastrous response.
I really WISH I could believe this donnie makeover. Relatively sober and taking things seriously…but NO one changes this radically, this fast.
I wish we had a consoler in chief…it would be nice.
At least I have an excellent Governor and the nearby Seattle Mayor is also doing an incredible job.
As far as hoarding goes…how about asking the American uber wealthy to stop hoarding our nation’s wealth.
Trump in a supermarket? Presumably a file photograph of some campaign stop.
Not everyone is the perfect messenger for a given message. Just saying.
Oh FFS. Tripped up by my buzzer game again. Great minds and all.
