The underlying thing that the media needs to focus on is that Trump wants private industry and states to take care of it. Sure Jared said ā€œoursā€ and itā€™s a nice easy soundbite to focus on, but itā€™s not that they want to keep it for their own use. They just want to maintain control over it, and, use it as little as possible. (As the hastily rewritten statement on the web site about the reserves purpose shows.)

FTA:

A guest, identified as a ā€œregistered nurse,ā€ appeared in a 20-minute segment in February, claiming that 5G is sucking the oxygen out of peopleā€™s lungs. The segment also spread the falsehood that 5G and coronavirus are linked. Clips of the radio show have been widely shared on Facebook ever since.
