Trump hails Wisconsin court overturning governor's stay-at-home order

President Trump on Thursday cheered the Wisconsin Supreme Court's decision to overturn Gov. Tony Evers' (D) stay-at-home order intended to limit the spread of the coronavirus.

"The people want to get on with their lives. The place is bustling!" Trump tweeted.

The state supreme court on Wednesday ruled 4-3 in favor of Republican state lawmakers, who argued that Evers had overreached with the stay-at-home order and had pressed the governor to relax restrictions. Evers will now have to get future statewide restrictions approved by the state legislature, which is controlled by Republicans.

He has previously backed protesters in Virginia, Michigan and Minnesota, calling to "liberate" those states. The president this week targeted Pennsylvania ahead of a Thursday visit there, tweeting that residents of the state "want their freedom."

Public health officials have warned that lifting restrictions too quickly could lead to a spike in coronavirus cases and deaths related to the virus.

Each day the madness increases. Trump is the psychopathic arsonist cheering on the forest fire as it rages out of control.

4. I hate him.

I just had to get that out there. I’m usually, kind, forgiving and compassionate but I’ve crossed over the hate bridge with him and Jordan, Nunez, and the whole Freedom Caucus crew. Put Radcliffe in there also.
