One easy step Trump could take to end his continuing coronavirus negligence. Imagine MSM reporting it this way.* We demand that President Trump immediately exercise and fully utilize the Defense Production Act in order to produce Personal Protective Equipment in quantities sufficient to meet the demand. ➙ Sign petition here:

Trump’s refusal is because of corporate greed. Trump has thus far refused to use the full power of the DPA to coordinate an industry-wide response BECAUSE he is responding to corporate lobbying and not the American people! The US Chamber of Commerce has lobbied the Trump administration against the use of the DPA! See links below and you will know why signing the petition to increase public pressure and exposure is vital.

Wartime Production Law Has Been Used Routinely, but Not With Coronavirus
The Defense Production Act has been invoked hundreds of thousands of times in the Trump years. But with the pandemic Trump refuses to. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/31/us/politics/coronavirus-defense-production-act.html

Unmasked: The Corporations Backing a Lobbying Campaign Against the Use of the Defense Production Act. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce lobbies the Trump administration against taking necessary measures to ramp up supplies of this equipment. https://public-accountability.org/report/unmasked-the-corporations-backing-a-lobbying-campaign-against-the-use-of-the-defense-production-act/

“A $1 billion fund Congress gave the Pentagon in March to build up the country’s supplies of medical equipment has instead been mostly funneled to defense contractors and used to make things such as jet engine parts, body armor and dress uniforms.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/09/22/covid-funds-pentagon

* To be clear, I changed the headlines on most of the clips from these news outlets to better reflect the reality of how poorly Trump has performed. That's why I wrote: "Imagine MSM reporting it this way" instead of "this is the was MSM reported it." Some of the reporting in these clips was half-way decent, I just wanted to show what it would look like if these news shows showed the full extent of Trump's negligence.
