President Trump went further with his recent remarks advocating for the reopening of the U.S. economy, despite a spike in coronavirus cases, during a “virtual town hall” on Fox News Tuesday.
And I want an honorable, intelligent president.
Not gonna happen…
So long as he accepts the responsibility for the consequences…oh wtf…sorry, we’re talking about Donald J. Trump after all…he can only blame Obama or the Democrats or the Chinese or whoever/whatever.
A decision to do this in this timeframe can only be described as extremely risky, to say the least, and needs a much steadier hand at the wheel.
Trump’s latest remarks come as public health experts have warned that relaxing social distancing could prompt a surge in millions of deaths
So is he arguing this out of genuine (albeit misplaced) concern for the economy?
Or is it something else?
It would really help to know more about his personal finances.
Has anyone thought to ask him to show his tax returns?
If that jerk wants to ruin the economy, then he has surely figured out how to do that. I sure as hell am not going to venture forth.
BTW Too bad about all those hotels being closed up.
Trump at his latest press conference (with Mnuchin falling ill);
…You sure? Covid may have a different opinion on how quickly President Pelosi gets sworn in once dotard decides he can’t stand being alone anymore…
Put a provision in the Senate Bill so that any CEO/President/Board Member of any company that receives bailout money of ANY AMOUNT must post his/her last 5 years of personal Tax Returns publicly.
That will be “interesting” since Trump is still the CEO of Trump Inc. and his children are all on the board.
“We’re opening up this incredible country
What does this mean, specifically? Is he going to open up the borders? Resume international travel? I didn’t even know our country had closed…so what’s re-opening on Easter?
Food for thought - there are 300,000+ infections outside of China. If you assume that each person infects 2-3 others, there are well over a million infections worldwide. In the US, with 50,000 confirmed infections, that would mean we already have 100,000 to 150,000 unidentified infections. Back to work by Easter???
OK, I could see “open by Easter”. 2022. maybe.
Trump Wants To Reopen US By Easter
I guess he’s betting it all on resurrection.
O/T
So yesterday on All Things Considered (?) they did a piece on the 10th anniversary of the PPACA. They played part of a speech that President Obama gave at the time. As I listened to it I thought “Oh that’s how a President speaks”. There were complete sentences delivered, and not sentence fragments masquerading as a cohesive thought or theme. Also I didn’t hear one sniff throughout the clip.
Look At What We’ve Become!
This is a man who is preparing to intentionally kill millions who might very well survive during the next several months. I keep thinking about what an analogous situation involving, say, two individuals, would look like, and I also wonder what we might say would be an appropriate reaction.
Laser-Focused
Obsessed. The word is obsessed.
On Monday night, Trump repeatedly said during his coronavirus task force briefing at the White House that “our country wasn’t built to be shut down,”
currently eyeing Google
I don’t know if anyone’s pointed out how absurd this construction is. It’s meaningless. A human body isn’t built to be unconscious and immobile, but if you need to take out a hot appendix painlessly and efficiently that’s how the body needs to be. JFC.
MSM where are you?
Ever member of the Gang of 52 must be questioned publicly and results printed in ever newspaper and
news magazines.
They are Trumpers or Americans. There is no in between.
our country wasn’t built to be torn down by a raving lunatic.
Every single day for eight long years as president.
Trump can’t pretend for sixty consecutive seconds.
