here bribe, there a bribe

 YOU BET, I AM STILL RANTING AND RAVING: Profits before People, that should be the new Red Hat Banner instead of MAGA, and here are some bits of information to demonstrate just how INSIDIOUS TRUMP/KUSHNER AND THE SWAMP THINGS really are! The president himself, according to Peter Baker, Katie Rogers, David Enrich, and Maggie Haberman has a financial interest in Sanofi, the French pharmaceutical company that manufactures the drug under the brand Plaquenil. "Some associates of Mr. Trumps have financial interests in the issue. Sanofi's largest shareholders include Fisher Asset Management, the mutual fund company run by Ken Fisher, a major donor to Republicans, including Mr. Trump," said the report. "Another investor in both Sanofi and Mylan, another pharmaceutical firm, is Invesco, the fund previously run by Wilbur Ross, the commerce secretary. As of last year, Mr. Trump reported that his three family trusts each had investments in a Dodge & Cox mutual fund, whose largest holding was in Sanofi." (Salon)
Top officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) received telephone calls from the President of the United States, who “personally pressed” them to make the malaria drugs, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine available. Now millions of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine pills are on their way to the public, donated by drug makers, including Novartis’ Sandoz, Bayer, and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. The FDA issued an emergency authorization on March 28 allowing them to be prescribed and distributed from the Strategic National Stockpile.”

Home Depot founder and billionaire right-wing activist Bernie Marcus founded the non-profit group Job Creators Network, which works for right-wing causes including lower taxes, fewer regulations, and so-called free markets solutions.”
Marcus donated millions to groups that worked to get Trump elected. He has said he will again donate millions to help get Trump re-elected. Sludge ( an investigative Journalism Group) reports the pharmaceutical industry has funded Marcus’ Job Creators Network, which has been pushing ” Trump to make the drug HYDOXY-CHLOROQUINE available.”
It seems another BIG GOP Donor, Mike Gula is leaving his firm to sell medical supplies/PPE’s. If this is so one has to wonder where he is getting the supplies and how can he fill 100million orders, when states can’t get them. And Maxine Waters, asked an important question, we all, (All but the FOX/MAGA/MALARIA SEDUCED  drinkers of  HYDOXY-CHLORQUINE Kool-Aid) What are his relationships with Jared Kushner and his sudden OWNED National Supply of these goods?
