17. Just what I was gonna say.

Trump will never forgive Pritzker for having $1.7 milion dollars worth of medical supplies flown directly from China to Illinois in secret, at the height of the pandemic. JB had to do it that way to keep the Trump administration from seizing the cargo for the federal stockpile that Jared was guarding as jealously as a Canada Goose guarding its nest.

Just think of it: an Anerican governor was forced to smuggle medical supplies into his state during a global pandemic, for fear of an American president seizing them! How crazy is that? Only in Trump Bizarro World America!
