(7,432 posts)I do remember, many decades ago, when I was unloading trucks at a Consolidated Freightways facility, that a semi-trailer held a maximum of 40,000 pounds of merchandise. That's 20 tons. One truck.
The 17.8 TONS that were sent to China was nearly the equivalent of one truckload of supplies. Now, we do know that masks, gowns, gloves, and other supplies are relatively light on a per-unit basis, but ventilators are heavy, so it's difficult to tell, based upon the available data, what was actually shipped. Nonetheless, a truckload of supplies going to China, with a 2 billion person population, is almost something to sneeze at (no pun intended). IMO, this is NOT a good example of Trump Mismanagement, even though it WAS mismanagement.
