President Donald Trump pointed to his own head when asked on Friday what metrics he would consider when it came to a decision on reopening parts of the country following the coronavirus pandemic.

“The metrics right here, that’s my metrics,” Trump said. “That’s all I can do. I can listen to 35 people. At the end, I’ve got to make a decision.”

Holy shit.

No consulting with experts, no looking at numbers, no consulting with local leaders who know their backyards better than he does. Juuuuuuust him and his orange noggin’.

We are so fucked.


Today will come back to haunt him.

Which part of listening to 35 people and then making a decision did you not understand?

My God dude. Are you really as stupid as you sound? He will listen to 35 people and make a decision. How else is he supposed to do it? Listen to 35 people and then not make a decision?

They don't make the decision for him. The words/decision need to come from him.

Come on dude. Seriously. Maybe a reading comprehension class is in order.

Don't worry. Red states are already volunteering to open first. California will probably last to re-open.

You should get on your knees and thank GOD every single day, that we have Republicans running the show here in the USA...



Liberals are lost, they're too far left, they're going nowhere, their ideology no longer holds any value whatsoever... I guarantee you that the moderates like The Kennedy's are rolling over in their graves to what has become of the Democratic - ahemmmm --- Liberal Socialist Party...



No more career politicians in the supreme office... It doesn't have to be Trump --- God knows that he's got his own problems --- But we need superior Business executives running the show... Tax and spend doesn't do it... We can help people that need help, but we also will teach them to fish for themselves, rather than them relying on everybody else to catch their fish for them...

@PeteMalloy +1
Also if businesses don't reopen by May 1st in LA county, there will probably be
may businesses that will never reopen. If some businesses don't get the
stimulus loans by the end of April, it will probably be too late if they get it later.
Staying closed until May 15th, will probably destroy the restaurant industry.
And the Libs will put the blame on Trump.

I believe this pandemic will help Trump will by a landslide in Nov.
The pandemic has shut down Biden's campaign and he seems to be
missing in action.
If I were Biden, I would at least act like I was trying to contribute to the
solution. The Liberals and media just continue to criticize any action he takes.
But their answer to the pandemic doesn't seem to make good sense.
They suggest we stay home until we get the virus under control. NOT PRACTICAL!
Destroying lives to save lives will makes the cure worse than the disease.

This pandemic won't benefit Trump, he's in charge and all he does is blame, he doesn't take responsibility for anything. Look at the amount of Coronavirus deaths in this country and we had advance notice. His administration was not prepared and is unqualified to handle this situation.

What's Trump's solution? To put his unqualified son-in-law on the job. The last thing we need is someone with no public health expertise making policy decisions simply because he's a part of the family.

Mark Twain

"The mania for giving the Government power to meddle with the private affairs of cities or citizens is likely to cause endless trouble, through the rivaly of schools and creeds that are anxious to obtain official recognition, and there is great danger that our people will lose our independence of thought and action which is the cause of much of our greatness, and sink into the helplessness of the Frenchman or German who expects his government to feed him when hungry, clothe him when naked, to prescribe when his child may be born and when he may die, and, in fine, to regulate every act of humanity from the cradle to the tomb, including the manner in which he may seek future admission to paradise.

So Trump supporters think...

That Trump is smart
That Trump reads what he needs to to make informed decisions
That Trump tells the truth when he opens his mouth
That Trump accepts responsibility when he's wrong or when he makes mistakes

That Trump listens to his advisors/experts and is able to comprehend what he is told

That Trump handled this pandemic well
....that he acted quickly and prudently,
....that he mitigated the number of deaths and the economic loss to this country
....that all of this was unforeseen and unavoidable

That Trump will do the right thing for the American people over his own self benefit


If you believe these things, then you're pretty much hopeless.

The shit might hit the fan around May 1st. Then we will need real leadership. If Trump steps up more power to him. If not and he makes the wrong decision he will not win a second term. Stay tuned.

I’m not a big fan of Hillary, but during a crisis like this, at least I’d feel reassured that she’s undeniably smart, values science, and would have likely acted much sooner to stop the spread of this pandemic.


You see, I’ve attended schools with self-aggrandizing, talentless losers like Trump. Trust fund babies who couldn’t get into a good school without their parents’ help, that failed their way to the top, and, when given the opportunity to prove what they are worth, they shit the bed royally. I am worried because I know exactly the type of loser he is.

The average American is mesmerized by shiny objects, but typically fails to recognize when it’s a gold-plated turd.

I’ll be much more amusing when he’s gone.

Hey, it's Granite again. Looking to mix it up. I've never been a registered Democrat; I've voted for both parties.


There are many groups who have supported Trump: (1) Evangelical Christians who tolerate him because he promotes their agenda, (2) the xenophobic, white nationalists, and racists who he appeals to with his policies, (3) the greedy bastards who financially benefit from him, and (4) the morons who don't know any better and like him because of his celebrity.

You don't have to be well-educated to understand that he's a conman, that he isn't that smart, that he lacks morals/ethics, and that he cares about himself more than he does about this country or its citizens. It should be obvious to everyone.

Based on what I've written, I think it is pretty clear that I think only idiots would continue to support Trump after seeing how he's acted in office and how he's handled this pandemic.

You continue to support Trump, don't you Granite?

The quote was...."I CAN listen to 35 people" .....not I will listen to 35 people. Let alone actually considering what they had to say or that the people he would talk to were worth talking to.

The reality is, he will call a couple of people for advice. None of them will be Scientists or experts in what is going on. They will be celebrities and Corporate owners, his kids, etc. This has been documented many times. If he wants advice on when the economy should reopen...he isnt listening to Fauci...he is listening to corporate leaders who want to stop a depression and all those stocks corporations bought with their tax cuts (instead of raising employee salaries) from tanking.

Trump has handled this poorly from the beginning. He did some things of course. But for the most part he blew it up until the second week of March when he decided to start treating this more like an inconvenient pandemic instead of overhyped fake news. For comparison look at South Korea. They had their first diagnosis on the same day as the USA and handled it seriously and aggressively. Look where they are at compared to us. We are the worst in the world, and worse off than we know because the Trump administration failed to prioritize testing early on.

"Why America can't vote for a Woman President???"

There was only one real contender, that was the killer known as Hillary...

I could vote for a Woman, or a minority, or both, but they must be a viable candidate.

And yes, Trump was a much better choice in 2016.
