Trump says it’s safe to reopen states as governors grapple with loosening restrictions

President Trump on Sunday sought to reassure Americans that it is safe for states to reopen amid the coronavirus pandemic, offering support to protesters who have railed against the lockdowns across the country.

“I really believe that you can go to parks, you can go to beaches . . . [if] you stay away a certain amount,” Trump said during a Fox News Channel town hall at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.

Trump said that it’s possible to “satisfy both” anti-lockdown protesters and those who are afraid to resume public life. He noted that Americans have been wearing face masks and social distancing in recent weeks and said that “you’re going to have to do that for a while,” even as states reopen their economies.

He scaled up the estimate he has used for the number of expected dead — projecting that the U.S. toll may be as high as 100,000, up from his prior prediction of 65,000 — while emphasizing that he takes the novel coronavirus seriously and noting that three of his friends have died after contracting it.

That's exactly what the POTUS said that you are somehow trying to downplay.

Trump just raised his predicted death toll for the coronavirus in the U.S. from 65,000 to as high as 100,000. So we're getting close to the original esimates of between 100,000 and 250,000 possible deaths attributed to the virus.

Actually, big shooter, it looks like 1,600 is a seriously low number for Trumps lies.

Perhaps you meant to say 16,000 documented lies... it’s a staggering figures, the likes of which the world has never seen before, eh?

Here in Texas, Abbott has opened with guidelines that I believe are reasonable. My only disagreement was opening the beaches. Last weekend in Galveston the beaches were packed and there were multiple restaurants along the sea wall who did not follow the one quarter occupancy guidelines. The only reason those folks were there was the beaches. It’s too soon.

So what's your alternative. Total oppressive lockdown, continued strangulation of business, something else?

So your entire point is that while you largely agree with the message and sentiment of what Trump said, since it's also basically what Abbott is doing, you are going to shoot the messenger simply because he is the messenger.

Like I keep saying your own words and sources are the best refutation of your bullshit Trump hatred that there is.

Jax doesn’t know wether to shit or piss. Trump is following Fauci and Birx. If you want to go out, wear a mask and social distance. If you want to stay home, stay there. Simple as that. In states that are gradually opening. He disagreed with the Governor of Georgia who is a Republican and opened first. Trump didn’t send Covid patients to nursing homes like Cuomo did. That was a death sentence for many people.

But someone like the OP who can't do anything but complain about every little thing Trump does should stay out of the public domain. Trump is trying to get the country back to it's upright position but the Liberals to resists.

Local and state government have a better handle on their individual situations ( except for the controlling idiots of kalifornia and NY).
Trump is right - Montana is very different than LA or NYC. and should be handled differently
j66 is whining because the Fascist DPST's hav one answer to all issues - Big Government - and the bigger and more expensive to citizens - and the more controlling - the better.



Need an example - kalifonrnia and NY - the highest taxed states in the union - and ny with its execrable management and planing - one of the highest death rates of Wuhan virus.



So - j66- agitatinig fo the usual "one size fits all" ny answer by Fascist DPST's - the "China model" as it were.



go bow to you leader - Comrade Xi!
and get some professional help. U need it badly. Life is much better without the hate and programming and conditioning by China news network and the WaCompost,

So your entire point is that while you largely agree with the message and sentiment of what Trump said, since it's also basically what Abbott is doing, you are going to shoot the messenger simply because he is the messenger.

Nope, the great leader implied it was safe...if it’s safe then why not open at 100%? The great leader doesn’t know if it’s safe and neither do I , Abbott, or you.

Like I keep saying, I didn’t invite you, your threads are easy for me to ignore, so ignore mine.
