Trump's messaging may extremely appealing for millions of people at this time. think about it...

you've lost your job and it may never come back.
your business is forced to close and may go under soon and never come back.
you're income has collapsed.
you may not be able to pay your bills or get food to feed your kids and family.

millions of people are already living on the edge so the demand to get to work in
a week or two may be very appealing especially if you are in one of the lower risk
groups, the 80% or so who will have no symptoms, or a mild to moderate case
from which you will probably recover

and the other thug senators opposing the stimulus bill because of the unemployment
provisions want them cut out (along with dumpy) so desperate people would be forced
to try to return to work sooner to go along with dump's Easter celebration...(this is
amongst my conspiracy theories).

also, folks are just going to be tired of not being able to go out and socialize. His genius such as it is, is knowing how to play off people's weaknesses. This could be a big problem...

Of course, it may be a tad more socialist. That is what Republicans really fear.
