This is America: On Dec 7 1941 we were not prepared for war, then this happened.
When we enter the war we were around 16th in the world when it came to military power. I have seen pictures of men in boot camp carrying fake wood rifles. Enter FDR, FDR quickly transformed and Re-tooled the entire country into a war making machine. Roughly a year later we were number one in military power.
We had major shortages back then, metal, rubber, etc. FDR did something about it.
Fast forward today and America cannot mass produce masks, aprons for our doctors and nurses. Bullshit, I do not believe that for a minute. The problem is the incompetent, deadly, lack of leadership from Trump.
A competent president would have ordered every manufacturing company in the country to re-tool and start producing the material for this war. He would have called on and helped organize the American people to help battle this virus. Like the school kids during world war II who gathered pots and pans for metal drives, gave the tires off their bicycles for rubber drives. The American people of today are ready to do the same today, many are trying and doing the best they can. What the people lack is a true leader to organize the entire country together in order to fight this war.
If Trump was president on Dec 7 1941, we would have lost that war. I have no doubt.
