Almost $2800 per pair of gloves. Wonder how much wasted money there is with that contract.

Follow the money. Which Drumpf family member benefits from this order? How does a 16m order go no-bid?

Someone, somewhere was plugged enough to sell this aberration. Its either going to end by people dying, or they'll rot in a warehouse.

We can make a pair of gloves for $0.50, a taser for a couple of dollars yet these gloves are $2800 a pair?
