...he's becoming a savvy politician.

He's telling governors to "call their own shots" so if the economy gets worse, he can claim he wants to ease restrictions, but governors aren't cooperating. If governors do ease restrictions and deaths spike, he can blame them for being premature. And if they ease restrictions and the economy improves without an increase in deaths, he can say I told you so and he was right all along.

Very savvy. Slimy, but savvy. Too bad he's looking to save his own ass instead of leading i.e. strong federal oversight so states, cities, federal agencies aren't bidding against each other for PPEs.

And please don't listen to TV "doctors." They're borderline dangerous/reckless with their claims.

It appears that the medical experts are sending this country into a recession.
They advised a shutdown without considering the economic damage that will occur.
I believe that these experts knew perfectly well that the shutdown would cause severe
economic damage to the US. I base this on the research that other medical experts
have already done on pandemics, particularly Dr. Gabriel Leung , Dean of Medicine
at Hong Kong University.
The shutdown may be destroying more lives than it is supposed to be saving.
Many people have the CORONAVIRUS, but the govt. has given everyone the NOLIFEVIRUS!

If Trump had of been taking this virus shit serious earlier lives could have been saved.
He ignored memos from his own cabinet member aka (Peter Navarro) and many others and he was out saying this was the "Democrats new HOAX". Some fucking Hoax!
The problem is Trump spits out SO MUCH DAILY BULLSHIT its hard to remember and keep up with it all.

Trumps tried to blame everyone the WGO, State Governors, China, The bottomline is shit happens instead of doing the same blame everyone else bullshit, over exaggerations, lies and twitter BS we see him doing over and over and over again. His ass needs to mans up and get shit done!

Who ever heard of a President of the United State that only accepts positive criticism.

Trump said Governors can call the shots because a couple days earlier he said he has total authority over all states. someone explained that wasn't constitutional so he had to retract.

Hence the word fucked
Newsom does believe in managing personal risk
He believes that is the responsibility of healthy people to be unemployed broke etc to protect the sick

Of course we have never required that strategy in the past

If you are healthy and don't know anyone with the virus. You can say open everything up but if you or someone you know gets sick by this highly contagious plague or if someone elderly you know gets sick from the virus I know money will be the last thing you're concerned about.

"Trump's critics now complain he isn't telling the states everything they should do"

Where the heck are you getting that fake news? Fox?
Trump critics are currently telling him to step up and put together a federal testing strategy to help the Governors to make the decisions on how to go about opening things back up.

Biden should've run in 2016. He missed his window.

Joe Biden in 2020 looks like a senile old man who can't remember his own name. If Trump gets reelected, the DNC has no one else to blame.

Just like there's a minimum age to be president, there should be an age limit as well. You can't be president if you'll be over 70 by the time you're sworn into offfice.

Sure I will add some facts to this conversation

As of 4/16 CDC and LA County Health numbers

In California 890 deaths out of 40M people
That means you have a .002 chance of dying from Corona

In LA County 455 deaths out of 10M people
That means you have a .0045 chance of dying from Corona

Are you fucking kidding me shutting down an economy and putting millions of people out of work and flushing trillions of our wealth for those infinitesimal %

Hey ask China ??

Lebowski

The liberal media is the great divider. No matter WHAT Trump does.. you dumbshits along with Pelosi will bitch. It's the coveted, do nothing position where you have no skin in the game and you just rant.

Trump is doing work daily and he unveiled a 3 phase plan to let Governours guide and open states. He also specifically instructed Governours to ask for assistance with unknowns, COVID testing, and specialized aid on a state by state basis.

But yet you keep going back to that same media derived out of context rant about "total authotity" and the notion that Governours are now clueless... Trump worked this out with the Governours before unveiling the plan.

You are a total dumbfuck!

You think I'm harassing you from multiple accounts. I'm not. You need to own up to the fact that theres a lot of people here that think your completly stupid and not just me.

@Dude, the point I'm trying to make is the the experts knew that there would be economic damage if there was a shutdown. Also many Dems, including Pelosi, DeBlasio, and Cuomo were saying that the virus was not that serious prior to March. Also so far the actual deaths is far below the projected numbers from so called experts. So Trumps actions have helped.
There seems to be a bigger agenda than just decisions by Trump.
Trump does not make decisions on just what he thinks. He relies also so called experts.

I read that Trump once said, " They're not after me, I'm just in the way. They're after you!"

Dude just keeps spewing the Democratic talking points and main stream lying media.

The first known case of Covid in the U.S. was January 20th. The first cases where it was determined people had traveled to Wuhan were determined on January 24th.

Trump initiated the travel ban on January 31 and people like Dude and all the Dems and media claimed it to be unnecessary, racist, zenophobic...bla.bla.bla.....

Nancy Pelosi and Bill de Blasio were encouraging people to come to China Town in their cities to celebrate Chinese New Year in mid to late February.....obviously not taking anything seriously....

Now the narrative is Trump started too late.....but interestingly enough...we heard NOTHING from the Democrats other than travel ban was racist.....no other plans, ideas, thought...

And now they forget about their own bullshit back in January and February....total fucking hypocrites.
