I've no doubt that many who heard Trump today (or read about it)

[intrepidity]

are already easing up on their restrictions, figuring that hey, in a week we will all be back at work. I bet starting tomorrow you start seeing evidence of this in your community. He just sabotaged the whole flatten the curve effort.

Everything Trump touches turns to shit. He couldn't even go more than 7 days of nominally doing the right thing.

He's a monster.

[BigmanPigman]

1. Those with common sense will take it as the opposite of the truth and

stay home instead. I always believe the opposite of anything he says.

[dchill]

18. That is a sound policy, grounded in reality.

Always.

[lapfog_1]

2. The podium is full of mass murderers at the White House briefing room.

[Walleye]

3. I hope Ivanka gets a real bad case of it.

That might make him take it seriously. Maybe not. We’ll see what happens.

[intrepidity]

4. I see what you did there

Well played.

[Walleye]

8. Ha.

[hay rick]

16. You know it doesn't get transmitted that way...

[dchill]

19. And I see what YOU did there!

[Hoyt]

5. Other than "asking" states to remove shutdown edicts, I don' think trump can do much but talk.

[intrepidity]

10. His attitude is what many people see and take cues from

It must've been mighty uncomfortable for him to be on the right side for once, agreeing with the likes of Newsome and Inslee, and them speaking civilly of him

Boy that must've chapped his ass. So demented.

[gldstwmn]

6. Nope. A flurry of states announced

stay at home orders. Look for more to follow.
The orange cheese stands alone.

[vapor2]

7. this greedy bastard

is losing money from 6 of his hotels so he wants his properties bailed out. Republicans must think we are stupid. Kudos for Manchin calling out mf mcconnell.

[True Blue American]

29. Mnuchin

Agreed to over sight of the fund and Democrats are getting what they need for Hospitals and Healthcare.

Moscow Mitch sadly misjudged his competition this time. The reason for his many outbursts,rants and blaming Democrats.

We really, really need more women in Government. They know how to handle bullies and get things done.

[jimlup]

9. Yes - he is a monster

The nightmare may end but apparently not until Covid-19 is done with us.

I hate the fucking Republicans. They are the ones who've lead us to this level of sewage shit.

[CrispyQ]

39. The decline in the quality of their presidents is stunning.

Nixon/Ford
Reagan/Bush
W
the Con

It's hard to imagine someone worse than the con, but a lot of us thought they couldn't come up with someone worse than W.

[jimlup]

40. Yes I too thought W was the bottom...

but we were surprised to learn it could get worse.

[liberalmuse]

11. His money-making resorts are shuttered.

His only motivation is money and getting them opened back up.

[C Moon]

12. Oh. I didn't think about that. His hotels are probably dying.

[James48]

13. That's why he wants to steal the $500 billion

From the American people. It’s his “walking around money” he wants to shower on
those who say nice things and flatter his narcissistic personality disorder.

[marble falls]

35. Well he's like Pinocheo, only he wants to be a real billionaire some day, this is his big chance.

[dchill]

20. Plus, there's nobody maintaining...

...his golf courses.

[marble falls]

14. Not me, other than feed the feral cats, we're staying home. We have a nice back yard deck ...

with a nice view.

We can do this.

[Dem2theMax]

26. View?

I'm coming over.

[marble falls]

34. Its crazy good. Its like we live in a tree house in the forest.

[Dem2theMax]

38. Now I'm really jealous.

You are living my dream! Enjoy it for me.
I'm sort of out in the middle of nowhere, sort of, but it's not forest. It's not really called desert, but I call it desert. The rattlesnakes can attest to that.

[Traildogbob]

15. Just wait.

If you think Today will lead to more deaths by his ignorant followers, wait until after the Fox town hall tomorrow, with prescreened questions from Fox viewers. All are murderers with blood on their hands. From the Pro Life party. Murdock and trump should share a cell. Maybe the one Ebstein used.

[MustLoveBeagles]

17. He can't even behave like a human being for a few minutes

I'm now off work with pay from the state. I highly doubt I'll be going back next week. No doubt his idiot base will do what he directs but I'm going to listen to the experts instead.

[SlogginThroughIt]

21. My neighbor is one.

Told me all about how we can’t afford to let the economy go south.

[DENVERPOPS]

22. He says it's no big deal

John Hopkin's chart is reporting that world wide, THE DEATH TOLL WENT UP 15% in the last 24 hours.......

We aren't MOVING towards a Republican/Corporate Fascist Tyranny....we are already there........

BEND OVER AMERICA, WASF

[KY_EnviroGuy]

23. Trump believes he can stop viruses and flip the U.S. economy with his mouth.

He's about to learn some hard lessons about life which are long overdue.......

[Hekate]

24. The Ventura County Sheriff sent a text about 4:30 this afternoon via the emergency alert line....

"Stay Well at Home Order remains in effect" plus some explanation of what constitutes a good reason to be out, such as food and the doctor.

Just in case any local Californians were fooled by the Liar in Chief, aka Donald "Clusterfck" Trump.

[Dem2theMax]

25. Saw Trumper neighbor, outside, yakking away with another neighbor.

Standing maybe a foot and a half apart.
I couldn't tell who the other person was because they didn't turn around, but had to be a Trumper. A Democrat would have known to keep walking.

The woman I do know, her husband is at least 15 years older than she is. He has heart issues, lung issues, and I do believe he has cancer. So the wife is outside, gathering germs to take back in the house to her husband. He wouldn't last ten minutes if he caught the Coronavirus.

Talk about a Darwin Award winner.

I would have yelled at them, but it wouldn't have done any good.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. One thing to think about: His Lardship's plans always seem to be scheduled for two weeks later

but when the two weeks are up nothing actually happens because he's off on something else and he never mentions the plan again, or if he does, it's totally different. So don't panic yet. He has the attention span of a gerbil, and he'll come up with some other harebrained idea, planned for yet another two weeks later.

[Aquaria]

33. A gerbil will at least run in a wheel for 15 or 20 minutes

This guy can't even focus for 2.

He's like a 3 year old with ADHD who polished off a 2 liter bottle of Mountain Dew and a 5 pound bag of Skittles.

[Kablooie]

28. I hope it's just his cult members that put themselves at risk.

Whatever happens to them will be their own stupid fault.
A kind of Darwin award movement.

But if MAGA governors force state businesses to reopen and people die it will be a total catastrophe.

[intrepidity]

30. Until they fill up the hospital beds

I don't care if they want to kill themselves, but that's not how it works--we all go down.

[muntrv]

31. Just more reason to self quarantine, a bunch of infected

trumpanzees roaming the streets.

[Aquaria]

32. Won't see it in mine

Unless the idiots want to go to jail.

Our mayor implemented a shelter in place order effective less than an hour ago, and extending until 9 April.

[Mc Mike]

36. Everything he touches turns to tRump. rec, nt

[vapor2]

37. EVERYTHING is about him

and money. He has 6 hotels that are closed and losing money so if people go back to work, stock market goes up then his properties will come back. Just remember that EVERYTHING is about him, money and his re election. This is his agenda, his motive. PERIOD

[Alwaysna]

41. Let Rudy test this theory. BTW, where is Rudy?
