America IS in the middle of health crisis that is killing people in record numbers and in order to get control of it ?…
People have be told by their Governor’s and the officials to restrict their movements…
The President of the United States of America has been ‘hands off’ to the state and local officials …
But HAS made sure he gets visibility, like a daily entertainment show, featuring him self and supporting g cast of flunkies, who are trying g to keep the ‘experts’ at bay….
We ALL know the economy is gonna be a mess after the virus subsides a bit come the summer with the social distancing successes…
But impatient Trump, worrying g about his own political future, is now on a quest ‘reopen the country’ without a regard to a sensible way to insure a reopening doesn’t reignite the viruses spread..
In doing this?
Donald Trump is continuing AS PRESIDENT to run against the very thing he swore on a bible to PROTECT….
The People of the United States of America….
Donald Trump continues to view things thru his Alternate Universe …
He has never got past accepting that running the American government isn’t running a real estate organisation…
He has never embraced that he is suppose lead the WHOLE 330 Million Americans…
Not just the ones ‘loyal’ to his efforts to ‘do HIS OWN’ thing…
In his actions?
Donald J. Trump has never been the President of America as a whole…
State leaders have expressed concern that Trump’s call for liberation could foment civil unrest and encourage the demonstrations. Public health experts have warned that the large gatherings could further spread the virus, extending the need for social distancing.
The coronavirus has infected more than 755,000 people in the U.S. as of Sunday night, according to Johns Hopkins University data, and killed more than 40,000.
The White House’s phased approach to reopening the U.S. economy calls for governors to make the final determination on when they can lift social distancing guidelines. But Trump’s continued acceptance of the protests threatens to incite further animosity toward state leaders….
…
But the president, who ran as an insurgent in 2016, is most comfortable raging against the machine of government, even when he is the one running the country. And while the coronavirus is in every state in the union, it is heavily affecting minority and low-income communities.
So when Mr. Trump on Friday tweeted “LIBERATE,” his all-capitalized exhortations against strict orders in specific states — including Michigan — were in keeping with how he ran in 2016: saying things that seem contradictory, like pledging to work with governors and then urging people to “liberate” their states, and leaving it to his audiences to hear what they want to hear in his words.
For instance, Mr. Trump did not take the opportunity to more forcefully encourage the protesters when he spoke with reporters on Friday.
“These are people expressing their views,” Mr. Trump said. “They seem to be very responsible people to me.” But he said he thought the protesters had been treated “rough.”
In a webcast with Students for Trump on Friday, a conservative activist and Trump ally, Charlie Kirk, echoed the message, encouraging a “peaceful rebellion against governors” in states like Michigan, according to ABC News.
On Fox News, where many of the opinion hosts are aligned with Mr. Trump and which he watches closely, there have also been discussions of such protests. And Mr. Trump has heard from conservative allies who have said they think he is straying from his base of supporters in recent weeks….
…
The problem? Mr. Trump is now president, and disowning responsibility for his administration’s slow and problem-plagued response to the coronavirus could prove difficult. And protests can be an unpredictable factor, particularly at a moment of economic unrest.

Big Majority Are Willing to Wait to Lift Restrictions
A new Yahoo News/YouGov Poll finds that 71% of Americans are more worried about lifting the restrictions too quickly, while 29% are worried it will happen too slowly.
“A majority of Democrats (87%) and about half of Republicans (51%) agree that the country should only reopen once public-health officials are fully able to test and trace new cases and outbreaks—and most Americans (52%) recognize that the country is not currently conducting enough COVID-19 testing to track future outbreaks of the virus.”
