"How do you go from 10 to 20 to 30,000, to 300,000 -- even though this is different. Something is going on. And you ought to look into it as reporters. Where are the masks going?" -- Trump suggests that there is some sort of New York nurse conspiracy to steal masks pic.twitter.com/6vubm89vgQ— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) March 29, 2020
Governors are picking on Trump in their spare time. Also: Ventilators are not generators."There is something going on. I don't know if it is hoarding. It is maybe worse than hoarding" -- Trump again suggests that de Blasio, Cuomo and New York nurses are somehow conspiring to make unreasonable demands on the federal government for masks and ventilators pic.twitter.com/xP1NXEeCgR— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) March 29, 2020

Or act like an asshole to black reporters. That works, too."The biggest problem was the test didn't work. That was not from us. That has been there a long time" -- here's Trump trying to blame Obama for faulty coronavirus tests that were developed by the CDC earlier this year pic.twitter.com/v2zXukCpwf— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) March 29, 2020
