Today, President Trump reminded America that as our country begins to recover from coronavirus, American workers will be at the forefront.
- The Trump admin signed a major deal with a Virginia company to boost onshore manufacturing of medicine used to treat the coronavirus so we don’t have to rely on overseas drugs.
- President Trump also announced the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program to provide $19 billion to farmers, ranchers to “maintain the health” of the food supply chain.

This serves as a reminder that in America’s war against the coronavirus, President Trump has mobilized a whole of government response:
- “FEMA, HHS, and the private sector have shipped or are currently shipping 92.7 million N95 respirators, 133 million surgical masks, 10.5 million face shields, 42.4 million surgical gowns, and 989 million gloves.”
- “According to Admiral John Polowczyk, head of the supply-chain task force at FEMA, we manufactured roughly 30 million N95 respirators domestically a month before the COVID-19 crisis. He says we are on a path now to ramp up to 180 million N95 respirators a month.”
- And on the coronavirus testing front, in at least 12 states, there are testing surpluses where capacity “outstrips the supply of patients.”

In the meantime, Joe Biden continues to struggle to talk over geese.
