Seinfeld actor Jason Alexander said in a tweet that Trump is “the most despicable president in history.” He made the statement in response to a tweet from the president, which said that hospitals should have stocked up on supplies and essentials. He also noted that the federal government is a backup for them, but they have insatiable appetites for supplies. He also raised the possibility that the hospitals are demanding more because of politics.

In response, Alexander blamed the president for the shortage and said that thousands would die because of his incompetence. He claimed that the tweet proves his claim and that Trump should be removed from office right away. The actor, most famous for his role as the bumbling and selfish George Costanza in the sitcom Seinfeld, is just one of the many Hollywood celebrities who have turned rabidly anti-Trump. While the president has received numerous criticisms from day one of his presidency, the hate has been increasing since the coronavirus has started to spread in the United States. In December of 2019, Alexander accused President Trump, along with prominent Republican members of Congress of being Russian assets. He said that they solicited other countries to meddle in American politics, in reference to the alleged Russian interference in the election.

Alexander’s accusation comes at a crucial moment when the American government is doing the best that it can to stem the tide of the spread of the coronavirus. Right now, it is the epicenter of the pandemic which originated in China. The United States has over 275,000 confirmed cases as of Saturday, with more than 7,000 deaths. The state of New York and New York City, in particular, is bearing the brunt of the pandemic with more than 100,000 cases in the state. Hospitals in the city are being overwhelmed by the number of patients coming.

The president is taking action now to ensure that there will be enough essential medical supplies that can be used by American hospitals. The government is now invoking the Defense Production Act (DPA) to ensure vital medical supplies like masks and PPEs will not be running short in American hospitals. He is also pushing back against hoarders and those who are increasing the prices of vital supplies during the crisis.
