If trump were president during the baby formula shortage

He would be sending baby formula to states that voted for him and saying the governors of blue states would need to fight over formula on the world market.

And then his son in law would be buying up world supplies and selling them on eBay at jacked up prices.

7. Look at how he reacted to Covid

“The only people getting sick and dying are in big cities in blue states, so who cares, they’re not going to vote for me anyway.”

10. He was actually seizing ppe purchased by hospitals.....

At the manufacturers and at customs.

He probably sold it on the black market.

So many crimes. Not a one being prosecuted.

13. I loved it when the gov of Mass

had the owner of the Boston Patriots fly his planes to China, they picked up the PPE and flew it directly to Boston? airport. Then surrounded the plane with State Police, had it unloaded and escorted to the hospitals. Jared was commandeering incoming flights of PPE at airports by customs, then taking the supplies and distributing them to Red States.....(I am sure with a substantial commission)

At least that is how I remember it...........

15. You remember it correctly.

And the nation just shrugged.

It is unbelievable to me what they get away with.

Still to this day.

11. First, he would have cut off all formula for migrant babies.

Then all formula going to Puerto Rico, and then redirecting all formula ordered in blue states to red states, and ten all formula for mothers using WIC. Gotta save that milk for white babies in religious wing-nut families!

"hoarding"

14. He'd probably suggest feeding babies non-dairy creamer or some crazy shit like that.

I'm only half-joking here.

16. One of Trump's advisors sent a tweet...

He said that there would be no shortage of formula, but if there was one Trump would (I'm working from memory here) issue an immediate executive order, call the manufacturers of formula to the White House for meetings, fire the Commissioner of the FDA and force all his workers to toil around the clock until the crisis was averted.

On the other hand, Biden sent a crew from the FDA to the plant that actually caused the crisis to solve the problems they had, invoked the Defense Production Act to get everyone else making more formula, and started importing FDA-approved formula from overseas.
