In reversal, Trump says coronavirus task force will 'continue on indefinitely,'

Source: USA Today

"In reversal, Trump says coronavirus task force will 'continue on indefinitely,' shifts focus to reopening, vaccines"

"Less than a day after signaling the White House task force on coronavirus would be disbanded, President Donald Trump said Wednesday the group will "continue on indefinitely" and shift focus to reopening the country and manufacturing vaccines."

"Trump's latest thinking on the task force, created in January to coordinate the response to the virus, came a day after Vice President Mike Pence and other officials said the group's work would be transferred to federal agencies as soon as this month. The idea drew fire from critics who said it was too soon to disband the group."

his image is already tainted , and it will get much worse.

Let see, more deaths, more infections, economy tanking . .

everything he touches dies.

during a pandemic, t-rump is asking for the US SC to overturn ACA, this is sick.

It got bad press, so they did it anyway, they completely separated the DVD and Streaming plans/payments/sites into two different worlds, they just didn't call it Kwikster, and kept on calling it Netflix.

Trump will do exactly what he was going to do, but he will keep the Task Force name instead of abandoning it.

We found some AMAZING places where we can steal PPEs and resell them at 4x markups.

It's the American Way.

We are in this for the long haul.

Maybe Bloomberg will come up with a good ad like that to run before the elections.
