Title: Should POTUS inhibit medical supply chains?
Post by Eegore on 03/28/20 at 23:36:15

“I say, ‘Mike, don’t call the governor of Washington; you’re wasting your time with him. Don’t call the woman in Michigan. It doesn’t make any difference what happens."

"If they don’t treat you right, I don’t call,” Trump added, noting Pence is a “different type of person” who will “call quietly anyway.”

So this is the POTUS basically indicating that if a Governor is not "appreciative" then then Pence should not communicate with them about getting medical aid to US citizens.

Seems that "appreciative" is too broad of a term for me to accept as one that dictates if I can get medical supplies to medical centers. I get the idea of it, but I also think if I was given orders to not communicate with a medical center that needs supplies my company can deliver I would want something more than "appreciative" as guidance.

If I am going to look into someone's eyes that watched a family member die I would not want to explain that I could have delivered life-saving equipment but didn't because I felt the Governor was not appreciative enough.

Is "appreciative" an acceptable term to use to justify the withholding of communication during a national emergency?
