Big, Dumb, Stupid President Demands that GM and Ford Start Making Ventilators, Refuses to Actually Do The Thing That Would Require Them to Make Ventilators

President Donald Trump is a big stupid asshole who knows jack shit about jack squat. That much is obvious, but it bears repeating at a time when Trump has seen a moderate uptick in his approval numbers.

Case in point is that colossal fuckshit of a human being once again spewing bile on to Twitter, which is a waste of time that no one should use, if only because Trump thinks it’s valuable.

Trump signed an executive order invoking the Defense Production Act, which allows the federal government to dictate private businesses to make products during times of war or great need. The problem, naturally, because this is 2020 and nothing fucking makes sense anymore, is that the Asshole-in-Chief hasn’t actually exercised any of that power granted to him to, ya know…make GM and Ford do the thing he’s demanding that they do on Twitter, and will surely demand that they do in his nightly press conference, while not doing jack squat.

Shit like this is the kind of thing that throws a giant monkey wrench into the idea that Trump is a wannabe dictator. Sure, he has an authoritarian streak, and he very obviously likes dictator. But here stands a thing that grants him broad powers to essentially get private industry to do whatever the fuck he wants them to do, and he’s balking.

The alleged reason is that these private corporations have said it will take to make the ventilators is $1.5 billion, a drop in the bucket for a a federal government who is about to fork over much, much more than that in stimulus. But, because Donald Trump is a Sith Lord who deals only in absolutes, the White House is trying to negotiate the cost of saving lives down, even though private industry has already essentially cut the cost of producing the amount of ventilators necessary in half.

Donald Trump can only see deals that benefit him, and deals that won’t, and he can only think of any potential deals as ones who either fuck over himself or fuck or someone else. In this case, Donald Trump is willing to literally thousands of people struggle to breathe and drown from fluid in their own lungs because he perceives that the cost of these ventilators are unnecessary. Just the other night he was on Fox News talking about how the amount of ventilators hospitals needed was exaggerated.

No one knows if President Twitta Fingaz is actually going to invoke the thing he should’ve invoked when he originally signed the executive order that was designed to invoke it, or if he’s simply trying to bully businesses to start producing these things at a loss, or if he’s like Michael Scott and think yelling “I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!” is the same thing as actually filing for bankruptcy.

My bet is on the dumbest possible answer.

  1. He has no clue how to manage money.
    He has no clue how government works.
    He doesn’t give a shit about human lives or anything but throwing fits about not getting his way.
    So here we are.

  2. He’s such a fucking idiot he thinks Twitter is the equivalent to executive action.

    Why hasn’t The Vid taken this shit stain out yet? He’s on stage with a crowd of disease vectors multiple times a day. Flying all over the place. Hanging at his golf course. The fact he hasn’t contracted it by now has me reconsidering Atheism, because it would take the protection of Satan himself to keep someone who seems to do everything he can to catch this shit negative.

    Has to be Satan/Loki, or some other god of mischief or misfortune. Yahweh sure ain’t fuckin with this asshole.
