Two weeks ago Trump invited the My Pillow con man to appear on his White House reality TV game show

to take a victory lap for delivering 50,000 N95 mask a day

So far to date the Mr My Pillow con man has not delivered even a single mask.

That is what the Trump Presidency has been since day one, a confidence game that produces nothing.

and that gives him more money to donate to Trumps campaign.
Just a coincidence I'm sure.

These days, when you hear a beautiful sermon, it's a signal to put your wallet in an inner pocket and sit with your back to the wall.

At the time it was announced (end of March), it was claimed the company was already producing 10K masks a day. I haven't seen an article about those masks being delivered -- or not being delivered -- since.

If someone can point me to an update, I'd love to spread this around.

And, you know all those sponsored ads you are seeing re: masks? Most are legit, because several t-shirt plants have switched over to making masks. It was an easy and quick calibration made on (I think he said) a BRB machine. Their employees get to keep working, including massive OT, the businesses make good money, and some masks are making it to market -- all made in the USA.
