Pinhead Trump has changed his little mind and decided to take aggressive action. He immediately appointed a scapegoat. AFTER aggressively cutting funding for the U.S. Government's pandemic response. Because- make people like himself richer with a massive tax giveaway. Happy days.

'Disgusting,” Sanders tweeted Wednesday.

Trump's plan for the coronavirus so far:

-Cut winter heating assistance for the poor
-Have VP Pence, who wanted to "pray away" HIV epidemic, oversee the response
-Let ex-pharma lobbyist Alex Azar refuse to guarantee affordable vaccines to all

Sanders embedded a clip of Azar, under questioning from Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), saying “we would want to make sure that we worked to make” a vaccine affordable to anyone in need of it, “but we can’t control that price, because we need the private sector to invest.”

Pence faced widespread criticism as governor of Indiana following an HIV outbreak in Scott County led to more than 200 cases in 2015 after Pence and GOP state lawmakers defunded Planned Parenthood, which was one of the primary vectors of HIV testing in the county.

The then-governor, asked if he would support a needle exchange program to slow the HIV spread, said, “I’m going to go home and pray on it.” He would later sign legislation for a temporary exchange program two months after the outbreak was initially detected.'
