Obama is not president. Hillary is not president. None of this has anything to do with Obama or Hillary. Trump owns this circus, lock stock and barrel.
Suck it up buttercup.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if China were to sell their
used PPE supplies to the U.S.,spread the virus and take
us down at the same time!

Is it possible you could change that record you keep
playing over and over again?
In its statement, the company said the Trump administration “also requested that 3M cease exporting respirators that we currently manufacture in the United States to the Canadian and Latin American markets.”
It added that “there are, however, significant humanitarian implications of ceasing respirator supplies” to health care workers in those countries, where 3M is a “critical supplier of respirators.”
“In addition, ceasing all export of respirators produced in the United States would likely cause other countries to retaliate and do the same, as some have already done,” 3M added. “If that were to occur, the net number of respirators being made available to the United States would actually decrease.”
“That is the opposite of what we and the Administration, on behalf of the American people, both seek.”
The White House reportedly tried to force 3M to export 10 million N95 masks from its Singapore facilities to the U.S. rather than sending them to its markets in Asia, the Financial Times reported, citing a person familiar with the conversations.
In a tweet Thursday night, Trump claimed that the White House “hit 3M hard today after seeing what they were doing with their Masks.” [url=https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/03/coronavirus-3m-tells-trump-halting-exports-would-reduce-number-of-masks.html?__source=twitter%7Cpolitics]Link[/ur l]

Where does 3M get their paper from? Correct me if I'm wrong, but a little research will tell you that it comes exclusively from Canada. As does quite a bit of Power, Water amongst many many other things?
Ignorance is bliss. Especially in the land of the free....

The President could have stopped this with the DPA. So now we get mad at 3M for being republican.
You don't find this ironic?
