President Donald Trump broke his silence on Joe Biden’s baby formula shortage, calling it a “mark of eternal shame” on the Democratic Party.
Trump said: “The Democrats are sending another $40 billion to Ukraine, yet America’s parents are struggling to even feed their children.
“There is a massive formula shortage, but no one is talking about it—it is a national disgrace.
“It is unthinkable that in the year 2022 American families are unable to get baby formulas for their children.
“Families whose children have serious allergies and require ‘elemental’ formula are in even more desperate and dire straits.
“The pain that mothers and fathers are going through who literally cannot get nutrition for their newborns and infants is a mark of eternal shame on the Democrat Party. America First!”
NEW!

As Slay News previously reported, Biden snapped during a Friday press conference when grilled about the crisis.
Biden said he would take a question on the formula shortage because “all of a sudden it’s on the front page of every newspaper.”
However, Biden then tried to argue that only “mind readers” could have prevented the shortages.
“If we had been better mind readers, I guess we could’ve but we moved as quickly as the problem became apparent to us,” Biden said.

Not even CNN’s Jake Tapper bought Biden’s claims.
“This is hardly the first time that there’s this slow-rolling anticipated disaster happening exactly as forewarned — whether it’s the exit from Afghanistan, the border surge,” Tapper said.

Biden continued:
“We’re going to be in a matter of weeks – or less – getting significantly where more formula is on shelves.
“This is a process we working very, very hard.
“There’s nothing more urgent we’re working on that right now.
“And I think we’re really making some significant progress,” he said.
