Trump is setting up Governors for the fall

Since they are unlikely to simply comply and "reopen" their states, when the economy goes to pot, which it will in either scenario, he can claim that HE wanted them to go back to work. HE was working for them, etc. barf, etc.

Typical Trump set-up. If we do not do all we can to mitigate this, tens of thousands (they even say up to 2 million) people will die. If he doesn't think that will mess up the economy, he's dumber than he looks

9. Good. Let the red states re-open, stew in the virus, simmering to a rapid boil,

while the blue states flatten the curve and start to get better.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of cultists. Bless their heart.

If the medical specialists are right, the red states who do nothing are going down.

My fear is the election. The only way the turd uses this to stop the election is if the democrats let him. If it gets as bad as predicted, and we have the election, the blue tsunami is going to be a LOT bigger.

After we get Biden as the POTUS, then we need to do some serious housecleaning.

More Trump ego rallies after Easter! Bigger venues! More Red Hats stuffed shoulder-to-shoulder! Fat Donnie shaking every hand he can!

Oh, such sweet dreams!

His daily me-me-me shows and tweets have been eye-opening, combined with his declaration he's not responsible.

Yea, his brain dead sycophants might buy it, but no one else is imo.

And those paying attention, which i assume many are since many are home, also see Cuomo. Stark!

to stand up, remove Mitch as ML, and remove Trump. The governors are our best hope to turn around this problem before millions die.

people will believe their governors over Trump. Especially when they start seeing their friends and relative drop like flies.

8. Not just for that - when the death toll surges, he'll blame the governors.

"They should have done more..."

"We did everything we could...a majority of those who died were in California and New York with DEMOCRAT GOVERNORS who only cared to criticize me than help their own people!"

You know it's coming.
