The residents of Kentucky, as a voting bloc, have voted for the republican presidential candidate for at least a generation (and probably longer than that). I understand the governor is a democrat, but it seems like a more simple explanation exists rather than Trump's administration intentionally harming a solidly-red electorate out of spite for their governor. A more simple explanation may be that Trump's administration, and therefore the federal government, has been flat-footed almost every step of the way (if you need a source on that, check the "front page" of every major, left or right-leaning news service in the US) and is now doing everything in their power to address their shortcomings which includes getting their hands on as much PPE, medical devices, etc. as possible. It does further speak to their inability to rise to the moment by not better-coordinating their purchases with the needs of the states. The administration deserves massive blame here for their initial and likely ongoing response to this and should be held accountable, but let's hold them accountable where the facts are nearly-indisputable (there are plenty of those facts to go around).
