Trump calls on governors with "beautifully low" coronavirus numbers to reopen on May 1

President Trump told governors on a conference call today that he wants to begin to reopen the U.S. economy on May 1.

He called on governors with low coronavirus numbers to begin to reopen their economies on May 1, with the caveat that states should go at their own pace.

"You states with beautifully low numbers, let's get your states open and get back to work," Trump said, according to one person on the call and one person familiar with the call.

The White House distributed a document of guidelines for "Opening up America Again" that offers proposed phased reopenings in state or regions that meet certain "gating" criteria.

He referred to the COVID-19 (aka, Trump Virus) tests as "beautiful tests."

He is not a normal person in any respect.

or sick.

They aren't numbers, asswipe. They're people. People.

But he doesn't give a fuck about that.

And when that "beautifully low" number starts climbing up, up, up, Trump will claim "No one could have known...".

Unfortunately, his brain does not register that he sounds like a moronic dip shit speaking gibberish to everyone else, except his anus licking crew nibbling McDonald's cheeseburger excrement.

What Dr. Bandy Lee has to say about trumps use of this particular word, beautiful. It never makes any fucking sense.
