J.B. Pritzker of Illinois tagged Mr. Trump in a series of angry tweets about the long waits, saying, “The federal government needs to get its s@#t together. He said the call was “very reassuring” and said there was no need to “hoard” essential food supplies. “You don’t have to buy so much, take it easy, just relax,” Mr. Trump said.
