He's not just calling them complainers, he's basically calling them liars. And by not taking full leadership and responsibility himself and dumping much of the responsibility onto state governors, he can always blame them when things go wrong. Our great (or even many average) presidents would rise to the occasion and take charge during a time like this, which is what the country desperately needs. Instead, our current WH occupant is whining about governors complaining to him and begging for more desperately-needed supplies, claiming that it's the responsibility of individual state governors to get the necessary numbers of masks and ventilators and other required items, not him, telling aides not to return calls from governors who piss him off, and implying that state governors need to publicly kiss his ass and talk about what a wonderful job he's doing. Oh, and he's bragging about what great TV ratings he's getting. But Hillary's emails and BENGHAZI! and whatever.
