Pelosi demands Trump authorize production of critical supplies to fight coronavirus
NBC News ^ | March 19, 2020 | Rebecca Shabad

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., implored President Donald Trump on Thursday to use his authority to force the mass production of critical supplies that the U.S. is lacking in the fight against the coronavirus.

“The president must immediately use the powers of the Defense Production Act to mass-produce and coordinate distribution of these critical supplies before the need worsens and the shortages become even more dire,” Pelosi said in a statement from her district in San Francisco.

Pelosi emphasized that the federal government can’t afford to waste time in addressing “shortages of critical medical and personal protective equipment” that she said is endangering health care workers.

Can somebody demand that she STFU?

Can we make it an amendment?

She’s demanding this several days after POTUS said he’d do it. That bitch is as crazy as she is full of shit.

Title says “Pelosi demands”

Article says “Pelosi implored”

She either “demanded” (ordered) or “implored” (begged)...

Which is it?

Go back to sleep - he’s already done it. Now she’ll claim she had to force Trump to do it. Maybe if she had a TV and could watch Trump as he announces all the thing to be done; but then of course she’ll toddle on out and tell Trump he should be doing ....

She is right on this.

But Donald Trump has been the first president in either party, to be right on this issue for THIRTY YEARS.

How long has Pelosi been on the wrong side, on this issue?

Just to clarify, after three years of being told “Trump is Hitler!” “Trump is a fascist!” we are now hearing that we’re all going to die because Trump isn’t enough of a fascist Hitler. Makes sense to me...

I sometimes think there is a leak in the Trump WH. How many times has Pelosi demanded something that was about to be announced by the POTUS?

I wonder how broadly the President can use these special powers?

He seemed to be taking it cautiously. “If we need to”. If the Democrats push him to really jump on this and use the full power of the law — can he go spend a few more billion on border control? Did the wall just get 10 feet higher?

Is he not already doing that. I could swear the President and the VP tackled this yesterday.
So now after every step the President takes she and the rest of the Democrats are going to come out and say he needs to do it even though he did already.
Political bull crap being played here.

Thank you for that suggestion, Nanzi, but he’s already done that. Now, be a good girl and the nice nurse will lead you back to your room. We arranged for you to share a room with your friend, Joe. Try to remember to refer to him as Mr. Prime Minister. It calms him down and it takes his mind away from thinking he might be President some day.

He’s going to do it anyway, she’s just preempting him to make it look like he caved to her. 🙄
