I truly wonder what Putin has on him, and Lindsey Graham, and so many of them.

I mean yeah. Trump has been laundering money for Russian oligarchs for decades. Why wouldn’t he do this?

yes, exactly, it looks like they were abbott test machines, not like rapid covid tests most of us are use to, so literally tens of thousands of dollars in the highest end quickest point of care tech at the time.
>The district plans to purchase Abbott ID NOW machines, which were scrutinized in May after the White House used the technology to screen its staff, though researchers at N.Y.U. Langone health found the machines could miss up to 48% of infections in a not-yet peer-reviewed study.
>**Each machine costs $5,000 and each rapid test kit, which is used to take a sample, costs $40.**
How can this not be a disqualification from running for president?

I had a relative who died because they couldn’t get a test.
They had respiratory issues for years. They got a fever from what we think was a UTI. Called the doctor, doctor said go to hospital. Hospital immediately put them on the Covid ward because they had temperature and respiratory issues and there were no Covid tests available.
They were recovering and a week later a test became available, they were tested, negative. So they were moved back to regular ward. THEN they started worsening, another COVID test, this time positive. Back to Covid ward. They died a few days later.
Terribly traumatic for the whole family because they could not visit in hospital and most of the time they couldn’t even call, nurses were so busy they couldn’t even charge patients phones.
They would have been fine if there had been a test available a week sooner.

Why didn’t he just tell Putin that if you stop testing then your number of cases will go down?

What will MAGA say now? Imagine if Biden did this? They’ll be calling for him to be sent to Russia.

I hope the media reports this correctly. COVID test vs COVID testing machine is a huge deal.

I have to be honest it is quite a *surprise* to learn that he was even more horrible during COVID than we realized. What a revelation to have in *October* as well.
obviously. they want to help sell russian oil which is why they were so focused on ukraine and hunter biden.
hunter was probably being trafficked into some diddy party bs to mess with his reputation.
they target people with ptsd then get them into stuff like that.

AHHAHAHAHAHA oh my GOD! That’s so bad 🤣 I’m sorry, I have to laugh about it. I worked in a hospital supply room in 2021, single worst job I’ve ever had, and my GOD getting enough supplies to get the intubation tubes, IV fluid, ice packs, all shit the ER and ICU needed for covid patients, well let’s say it was difficult. Easier in 2021 for sure, still a bitch to get that shit. Meanwhile Trump sent Putin essential equipment that was desperately needed in the US in the middle of a fucking pandemic.

Suddenly it makes a ton of sense why he fostered Covid denial. Not just to be lazy, but so his benefactor would receive more resources. Fucking traitor

the US had a shortage of COVID tests in 2020:
