White House Orders 3M To Stop Exporting N95 Masks To Canada And Elsewhere






Reuters: Trump says 3M 'will have a big price to pay' over face masks

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump slammed 3M Co (MMM.N) in a tweet late on Thursday after earlier announcing he was invoking the Defense Production Act to get the company to produce face masks.

“We hit 3M hard today after seeing what they were doing with their Masks. ‘P Act’ all the way.’ Big surprise to many in government as to what they were doing - will have a big price to pay!” Trump said on Twitter.

At a White House briefing on the coronavirus pandemic earlier on Thursday, Trump announced he had signed a Defense Production Act order for 3M to produce face masks. “Hopefully they’ll be able to do what they are supposed to do,” he said, without elaborating.

  1. On a related not Democratic Governor Sissylak is hoarding Hydroxychloroquine.

    He says the stuff doesn't work, so why does Nevada need it?

  3. Trump is doing a great job. Billary or some other socialist in the Demoncrap party would have already nationalized something more.

    Which demon crapped you out?

    Trump was right on Hydroxychloroquine; Herr Doktor Fauci was not.

    Herr Doktor Fauci was not correct with his models.

    Herr Docktor Fauci does not know how to use scarce resources like an economists or businessman would. Herr doktor Fauci funding of HIV is criminal. When you look at a graph of spending per disease and do a linear regression, HIV get way more $$$ per life or QALY than other diseases. Dr Fauci did that. He misallocated resources; it is criminal.

    Apologize you fuck.

  5. "then do not ask the govt to bail you out or businesses, or banks, or anything else..."

    Then do not take the money in the 1st place.

    If you take the money from me or from anyone else and call it a tax, a contribution, tribute or extortion, don't bitch when we ask for all or part of it back.

    Learn or relearn how to punctuate and capitalize. Heck, go sit with Billy Madison.

    Please note I am not wrong about Dr Fauci and HIV spending. Anyone with a computer and spreadsheet software, I can show how to do a linear regression and explain it in 5 minutes. Then you point them to the government data sets on diseases and spending for each disease.

    All facts baby. All facts.

    Dr Fauci is one 'expert' and in his case is use the term lightly. 70% of experts world wide think Hydroxychloroquine is a good treatment for Wuhan flu. They agree with THE DONALD. FACT!

    The Nevada and Michigan Democrat Party shill governors had to back pedal on Hydroxychloroquine. They only took the stand because, since Trump took a pro-Hydroxychloroquine, they had to be 180 degrees different and be against Hydroxychloroquine. That was the extent of any synapses firing in the little bit of stuff they call grey matter between their ears.
