Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and President Trump’s newly installed Chief of Staff Mark Meadows discussed appointing a czar to oversee production and distribution of medical supplies and equipment to help combat the novel coronavirus, Fox News has learned.
Schumer, D-N.Y., and Meadows spoke over the phone Sunday night about the federal response to COVID-19, specifically, with respect to the administration’s efforts in New York, which has become the epicenter of the virus in the U.S.
A source familiar with the phone call told Fox News that Schumer urged Meadows to have the president fully invoke the Defense Production Act, which allows the president to direct manufacturers to make certain equipment necessary for the U.S. to deal with a crisis, whether that be a war or a pandemic, in order to “promote the national defense.”

Czars are Russian.
Russian is bad.

Isn’t that pretty much what Peter Navarro is doing?
Chuck da schmuck knows this is gonna take a turn for the better soon and wants some credit.
And this is the Democrat ideal. More unelected appointees with unchecked power. A quick, easy, nearly untraceable path to corruption.
Just little Chuckle trying to make himself relevant.
Again.
What am I missing?
Biden seems to be making a very similar plea. President Trump has already done this, yes? I suppose there may be questions about the implementation of the DPA, but it has been invoked. It's been used. Trump is on top of this.
Are Democrats pretending it hasn't happened, so that they can take credit for it next week? How dumb do they think we are?
I have a better idea: let’s appoint someone, to bring back American Production, for a change.
Build things at home, for far too long both parties have been selling out their own country.
Trump, bring back American Production.
Bingo!!!
Anything Cryin’ Chuck wants is sure to be self-serving.
for far too long both parties have been selling out their own country
****************
THAT is an indisputable fact.
Spot on comment.
THe virtue signalling among the New York political glitterati is at Code Red.
I'm sure her does.
Don't tell me. Let me guess.
He wants to be it...?
.....cuz that’s the only way the Dems can be sure to profit through some corruption in the process.
Chuck, go talk to Nancy about her Amazon stock.
Chuck U Schumer . . . . .
Sorry putz head, Trump already has this - watch a presser and you’ll see it in action.
Agreed. This must be some sort of Russian collusion on Chuck’s part.
Chuckwad needs to ESAD. No other way to put it.
How many czars did Bronco Bama have? Dozens? Hundreds?
Typical leftist response.
Yeah sounds like Navarro’s job to me. Just like a beaurocrat to wanna add one more layer that’s not needed
