If there's one thing President Trump has shown time and time again, it's that he'll attack anyone who gives him anything less than unwavering support and praise. Even if that means insulting the brave medical workers who are currently our nation's best defense from the global pandemic.
In a pair of tweets, sent on April 2, Trump seemed to attack the very medical facilities calling for supplies, describing them as having "insatiable appetites."

To generate the supplies necessary to adequately address the situation at hand, Trump would have had to take the examples of countries like South Korea and begun producing and stockpiling back in January, when he was still downplaying the severity of the virus, and instead holding rallies and golfing at his golf clubs.

If there's a party to blame for hospitals' lack of supplies, it's certainly not the people working in the hospitals. Or the governors desperate to deliver the supplies for their ailing constituents.

President Donald Trump continues to show his character with each passing day. As the crisis grows larger and larger, the President's attacks become more and more petty.
