Trump set for clash with governors over reopening economy

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Trump's aggressive timeline for reopening the economy could set the White House on a collision course with governors and mayors who seem intent on maintaining social distancing policies beyond the president's Easter target date if necessary.

Trump's proposal on Tuesday to ease restrictions by mid-April came as a number of state and local governments have moved in the opposite direction, heeding the advice of public health officials to implement stay-at-home orders and close non-essential businesses to stem the rising number of coronavirus infections.

"You can't put a timeframe on saving people's lives," Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland (R), who chairs the National Governors Association, said Wednesday. "We're going to make decisions based on the scientists and the facts."

"I would love to have the country opened up and just raring to go by Easter," Trump said Tuesday during a Fox News town hall at the White House, later describing his April 12 target date as a "beautiful timeline."

So much for the Republican lie of supporting states' rights.

1. He cost lives by bungling and dragging his feet on the response

Now he's going to completely fuck up and stop the response too early.
And more will die. You too, Republicans.

2. How many times does he want to fight this fight?

My uncle told me in Korea they fought to take a hill two times only to be ordered to fall back. On the third time they fought for the same hill he was captured by the Koreans.

3. rump has zero power to order anyone to do anything. Zero. Now if a MAGA wants to work in...

this environment exposing themselves and others to the CV, I think lawsuits galore are on their way, by those innocently exposed to MAGAs sick w/ the CV, etc.

Most people using any kind of common sense will be avoiding contact, shopping, etc. to fight this thing.
