Trump has used the Defense Production Act HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF TIMES since taking office.

[Spamature]

But he did want to give up and admit to his bullshite fantasy that the virus would be gone in a week.

He'd rather let Americans die than face the truth he was being told by experts.

This is below DEPLORABLE !

THIS IS CRIMINAL !

Great post. Shows exactly how pathetic Trump and his supporters are.

 

[excalibur]

"Hundreds of thousands of times". And he believes it.

Maybe if you read the article you would have seen this:

A Korean War-era law called the Defense Production Act has been used to place hundreds of thousands of orders ...​

And this is the actual headline of the article linked in the OP: Wartime Production Law Has Been Used Routinely, but Not With Coronavirus

From the article:

Invoking the Defense Production Act is hardly a rare occurrence. As recently as last summer, the Department of Defense used it to obtain rare earth metals needed to build lasers, jet engines and armored vehicles.

The Defense Department estimates that it has used the law’s powers 300,000 times a year. The Department of Homeland Security — including its subsidiary, FEMA — placed more than 1,000 so-called rated orders in 2018, often for hurricane and other disaster response and recovery efforts, according to a report submitted to Congress in 2019 by a committee of federal agencies formed to plan for the effective use of the law.

Next time have whoever read it to you read the whole thing.

Yes, because if Trump did it hundreds of thousands of times he would be doing every 1-2 waking minutes. Christ, you're a rube.

 

[excalibur]

The Defense Department estimates that it has used the law’s powers 300,000 times a year.

That is farcical, it implies 300,000 times a year by DoD but gives no substantiation.

It also implies that POTUS is signing 300,000 such orders a year. Duh.

Precisely.

That NY Times story is so poorly written in their excitement to get it out.

Add up the populations of Italy, Spain, France, Germany, and Britain, the total is ~314 million, they are less than ours. Yet they have over 352,000 cases.

Switzerland has fewer than 9 million people and has over 16,600 cases. To match that you would have to multiply by 37, which would give over 614,000 cases in America.

Under E.O. 13603, the President delegates priorities and allocations authority to the heads of six federal departments: the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA); the U.S. Department ofEnergy (DOE); the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT); the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD); and the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC). The agency heads have jurisdiction over the resources within their respective areas of responsibility and expertise.

LOL

So there were no hundreds of thousands by POTUS, just as Mick and I said

And some of those delegation orders may have been around for some time.

The NY Times article is more fake news.

It's called mental illness. It's the same type of thinking that gets them to claiming that Trump playing a round of golf distracted him from taking action on the Coronavirus but that all the time and attention that he was forced to give to the Pelosi impeachment hoax had no effect.

In their zeal to create a hoax they inevitably take so much rope they either hang themselves through contradiction (impeachment vs golf) or hang themselves through sheer stupidity(Trump personally was responsible every 1-2 minutes for invoking the Defense production act). TDS is nasty.

 

[excalibur]

Yep, EO 13603 has been around since Øbama signed it in 2012, so they are coasting along on that. Nothing to do with what the OP implied.

Executive Order 13603 | Wikiwand

The National Defense Resources Preparedness executive order is an order of the President of the United States, signed by President Barack Obama on March 16, 2012.[1] The purpose of this executive order is to delegate authority and address national defense resource policies and programs under...

Go watch OAN then.

I accept your surrender gracefully.

The man is a tool. He doesn't surrender. He just forces himself to look dumber and dumber.
