Trump weighs loosening of restrictions to jolt economy, against health officials' advice

President Trump is weighing calls from some Republican lawmakers and White House advisers to scale back steps to contain the coronavirus despite the advice of federal health officials as a growing number of conservatives argue the impact on the economy has become too severe, according to several people with knowledge of the internal deliberations.

Loosening restrictions on social distancing would override the internal warnings of senior U.S. health officials, including Anthony S. Fauci, who have said the worst of the pandemic has yet to be felt in the United States.

But President Trump signaled growing weariness with “social distancing” and other aggressive steps advocated by health officials. “We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself,” the president said in a tweet written in capital letters.

3. Is Trump Listening To His Mar-A-Lago Friends Crying To Him That They Are.....

not going to be able to buy that yacht that they were considering because of 'social distancing'. Are they really his trusted advisors. You know those rich people that live in gated communities away from us riff-raff. You know the ones that have their servants risk their lives to do those menial tasks of shopping for food for them. Are they the ones that are urging him to forego 'social distancing' and restarting the economy early?

Probably - because - those are the only people he knows. Those are the people he hangs with. Those are the people that keep his ego up by telling him what a good boy he is. Those are the people that he listens to.

He has no concept of what the average American is going through right now.

He's taking us even farther down the rabbit hole. I don't think he realizes the consequences and that he's only making the situation worse. He's shooting himself in the foot.

His motto is "Pay me now and pay me later". As long as he and his rich buddies make money off this crisis - he thinks he's doing a great job.

He's in for a rude awakening in November.
