So much wrong info comes out of the mouth of this idiot.

1. He called the Easter nonsense "aspirational"

Later he said we could have done Easter but experts are telling him otherwise.

2. Trump explicitly said last week he thought CV19 would be done by Easter and the churches full

It was Dr Fauci (in clean up mode) for trump who said that Easter was the president's aspirational goal.

Dr Fauci's scientific assertion was that that the virus decides it's timeline -- you can't assert a timeline on it.

3. As long as he keeps pushing it out, that's about the best we can expect. I doubt even Obama would

have come right out and said this could go on for a year.

He would have said something like there are reasons to be optimistic we are getting close to the worst, but this could go on for some time. Of course, we'd have known that what Obama was really doing the best anyone could do.

4. At a minimum, you look at the countries that proceeded us and you use that as point of departure to

do the analysis for the US. Had he looked at those countries that proceeded us, he would have known it was going to be a minimum of 3 months for the number of new cases to reach inflection point and start on downward trend.

But, no this idiot came out with his "15 day plan" with target of April 11th (Easter) for the end of the virus.

Sorry, I don't give him a pass. He came up with Easter cause he "felt" that was a good day and it wasn't based on any scientific data. He needs to listen to his doctor and scientists before opening up his pie hole.

Just my opinion.

5. I get it. But he did say we'd reopen end of March, pushed that back within days. Same with Easter.

He'll do same with end of April, probably end of May and maybe more.

6. +++ agree. nt

7. Apparently a few in the GOP told him the party was going to own the Coronavirus if he didn't
