The 25th Amendment, proposed by Congress and ratified by the states in the aftermath of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, provides the procedures for replacing the president or vice president in the event of death, removal, resignation, or incapacitation. The Watergate scandal of the 1970s saw the application of these procedures, first when Gerald Ford replaced Spiro Agnew as vice president, then when he replaced Richard Nixon as president, and then when Nelson Rockefeller filled the resulting vacancy to become the vice president.
Wartime Authority of Defense of Production Act/ passed in 1950 as a response to the Korean War -- gives the government more control during emergencies to direct industrial production. The Federal Emergency Management Agency describes the act as "the primary source of presidential authorities to expedite and expand the supply of resources from the US industrial base to support the military, energy, space, and homeland security programs."
Peter Alexander, an NBC White House Reporter, listed the number of infected and dead, implied that hospital space would soon run out, and asked: "What do you say to Americans watching you right now who are scared" of the coronavirus outbreak? "I’d say you are a terrible reporter," Trump responded. "I think that’s a very nasty question, and I think that’s a very bad signal that you’re putting out to the American people." "The American people are looking for answers and hope, and you're doing sensationalism, the same with NBC and Comcast -- I don't call it Comcast, I call it Con-cast -- for whom you work." "Let me tell you something," the president continued. "That's really bad reporting. You should get back to reporting instead of sensationalism... You ought to be ashamed of yourself."
"Those are two that are out now, essentially approved for prescribed use," Trump said of the antiviral drug Remsdesivir, which has never been approved by the FDA for any disease, and the drug chloroquine, which has only been approved to treat malaria and some arthritis -- neither is approved for COVID-19. "And I think it's going to be very exciting. I think it could be a game-changer. And maybe not. Maybe not, but I think it could be, based on what I see, it could be a game-changer. Very powerful, they’re very powerful," he said.
All of the words written in the four preceding paragraphs, either originated from the Congress, a member of the Free Press (at least free so far,) and the mouth of blabbering idiot, unfazed by the death and destruction demoralizing and destroying the American way of life. Most of the above responses originated from TRUMP who is only worried about being re-elected and has NEVER once in his life taken responsibility for any action he has initiated or avoided. All written prior to my own commentary should scare the shit out of anyone, with the exception of 1% American Oligarch Donor Class of Domestic Terrorists who somehow think there are a bunch of rocket ships at the ready in some clandestine location to fly them away to a space station. All of the above should tell us a story regarding the powers Trump has to make changes and the powers We The People should have to change the person who is sitting in the Oval Office and send him to a mental health ward for the criminally insane!
