Here's one possible interpretation of Trump's remarks: The man genuinely cannot comprehend the concept of planning for the future. EricLevitz writes
Presidents say the darnedest things. Photo: Drew Angerer/Getty Images As of this writing, the coronavirus has killed nearly 1,000 New Yorkers. In America’s most populous city, the ranks of the severely ill have grown so large, authorities are setting up field hospitals in Central Park — while the dead are piling up so fast, health-care workers are turning refrigerated trucks into makeshift morgues.Donald Trump put great emphasis on this point in public remarks Sunday.
“I don’t believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators,” the president said of New York in an interview with Sean Hannity. “You know you go into major hospitals sometimes they’ll have two ventilators and now, all of a sudden, they’re saying, ‘Can we order 30,000 ventilators?’” The first is that the president is arguing in bad faith, his actions motivated by a combination of cynicism and spite: His goals are simply to disavow responsibility for any potential shortages in medical equipment in New York by insisting that the state has the tools it needs and is simply mismanaging them, and coerce Democratic governors into issuing public praise for his handling of the crisis by punishing those who dare to suggest his administration has not provided adequate support.
But there is an alternative interpretation of Trump’s remarks: The man genuinely cannot comprehend the concept of planning for the future.
