Governors give mixed response to Trump's handling of coronavirus crisis, but all say pandemic will get worse

Governors in some of the states hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic have had mixed reactions to President Trump’s response to the public health crisis, but they all agree on one thing: they need more help.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat who has arguably been the most vocal critic of Trump during the crisis, lambasted the president on Sunday for his remarks that states were “totally unprepared” for the pandemic and that they need to take the lead in combatting the virus.

“The president does not understand the word federal, Federal Emergency Management Agency, we have a State Emergency Management Agency, but if [Trump] were right, why would we ever need a Federal Emergency Management Agency?” Pritzker asked on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “It’s because individual states can't possibly do what the federal government can do.”

Pritzker’s criticism comes after Trump said on Friday that the federal government is “not an ordering clerk” and that states must try to procure the necessary supplies themselves first before asking for help.

Democrats have their special projects that raises taxes all the time and never takes heed on the future possible occurances.

You can use this crisis to justify whatever political and ideological stance or divides you adhere to but this enemy has no agenda and no borders to expand. We are all equal fodder and to survive it we need a collective and cohesive response and go back to petty political fights later.
