Excuse me but can someone provide a link where President Trump said we will be open by Easter? I didn't see or HEAR that. What I heard was that he would love it if we were open by Easter. There's a difference. Originally Posted by Austin EllenAs usual you are clueless as to the point regarding Trump.

That statement alone shows all that he as the leader of a nation knows Zero about the facts threatening its' very survival.
He is in denial of the looming consequences as already seen in other nations and currently exploding in ours.
Either that or he as usual, is just being a complete idiot because even his own people state this threat is nowhere close to going away. In fact they all state it will get far worse in the coming months.
I totally get being party brain washed but at some point there must be at least one brain cell that stands up and says "Hey guys are we really seeing what this guy is about?" Originally Posted by Sirgenerous

Here is what Trump has stated on numerous occasions:
“I would love to have the country opened up and raring to go by Easter,” Trump said during a Fox News virtual town hall.
He added that it would be “a beautiful thing” to have the nation’s churches, many of which are now closed to observe social-distancing standards needed to fight the outbreak, back open for the Christian holiday on April 12.
“You’ll have packed churches all over our country. I think it will be a beautiful time,” he added.
During the two-hour town hall in the White House Rose Garden, the president said the American people want to be at work instead of quarantined in their homes, especially with the risk of crashing an economy that was thriving just three weeks ago.
“We have to put the country to work. You’re going to lose a number of people to the flu, but you’re going to lose more people by putting a country into a massive recession or depression,” Trump said, warning the nation would see “suicides by the thousands” if people were put out of work.
Not once has Trump promised to be open by Easter Sunday. I assume he will listen to his advisors and other medical experts almost all of whom would say an Easter relaxing of current rules would not be advised.
However, if you read the following:
Trump repeated previous comments he’s made that while the regular seasonal flu and automobile accidents kill tens of thousands of Americans each year, that hasn’t led to calls to bring the economy to a screeching halt or stop vehicle production.
“We lose thousands of people a year to the flu but we never turned the economy off. We lose much more than that to automobile accidents. We didn’t call up automobile manufacturers to say, ‘Stop making cars, we don’t want them anymore,’ ” he said.
That sounds like he never wanted to have any shut down imposed on businesses at all. Maybe he was talked into it? I don't know. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX
No, he probably did not want to shut down all businesses.On that we agree. Trump is first and foremost a businessman. Most of his decisions while in office have favored big business.
It's unprecidented. But he had to. I can't imagine having to walk that fine line of saving lives or ruining peoples lives. Originally Posted by Austin Ellen
...Yeah. Just entirely blow to smithereens our healthcare system and the professionals in it. What do we care? In this country they want you to be on deaths door before admitting you with the type of insurance covered.
If you read some comments on the national forum, there are those who advocate letting the coronavirus just run its course and not shut down any businesses or restrict movement of people. Eventually it will die out and people will build up their immunity to it. Crazy talk in my opinion.
