Even most Republicans don't buy it when Trump says US is getting back to normal



By Josh Israel -May 21, 2020 11:24 AM

Polling shows Americans do not believe we are 'Transitioning back to greatness.'

Donald Trump has spent months downplaying the COVID-19 pandemic and promising that everything would soon be back to normal. But a series of recent polls show that he has not convinced most Americans — or even his own Republican base.

On Wednesday, Trump tweeted that the nation was already "Transitioning back to greatness."

"I am considering rescheduling the G-7, on the same or similar date, in Washington, D.C., at the legendary Camp David," he announced. "The other members are also beginning their COMEBACK. It would be a great sign to all - normalization!"

This follows weeks of evidence-free claims from Trump that the United States is "going back to work," that millions of lost jobs "will all be back, and they'll be back very soon," that the "real people want to get back to work ASAP," and that there will not be a major second wave of coronavirus infections after the nation reopens.

So it took the idiots (republicans) three years to figure this out,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and this twit thinks the G-7 members are going to show up with out masks and sit next to him, why doesn't he hold the "event" in public, you know him shaking the hands and having no mask ..................he probably forgot the the Chancellor of Germany has degree in a science............ .................this is not going to go over well when he finds out................

MAGA ... from 2017 Spring to whenever and if any of your stupid polities ever took effect (the 2017 tax cut and jobs bill perhaps, signed
into law late Dec. 2017)
2018 The wealthy Americans benefit from the above bill, but not until they file their taxes in early 2019
2019 CV starts impacting the US in late 2019, the wealthy Americans get their tax breaks, this year, finally
2020 CV really starts embedding itself into the American population, wealthy Americans get their tax breaks again

'Transitioning back to greatness.'

When were we 'great' according to rump? At almost 40 million unemployed and no plan to boot to get things kicking and going (economy-wise), all I see what you've done is cut taxes basically for perhaps 5% of the top tiered in income population. No one else (well, maybe a temporary cut in rates until 2025 when tax rates go back up).
