I'm not sure if any of the Republican controlled states met the #1 criteria set out in order to open up - 14 days with infections trending down.

And he can't override governors - he already tried, was laughed at and then as usual, backed down.

Free access to media under the pretense of Pandemic Briefing...Now, he controls the news cycle for at least 24 hours..All the time knowing it was irrational jargon and basic flamebait..he was successful.

When he gets shut down on this, he will blame the Godless atheist Democrats for persecuting the religious.

We knew it was another blatant lie from the endless pile they have to draw from.

Here's a question: when is twitler going to follow the real CDC guidelines?

PS. "twitler" should be in the dictionary. Not that I mind the squiggly red line, but it's a real word now.

This a sick place now, the mental health professionals are going to to be swamped very soon?

I can hear him now:

Next great people of our country.....

"All cheeseburgers are free!"

Just blurts it out, and the obvious questions begin, and of course NO PLAN, it's a stupid man saying stupid shit, DUH!

Treat it as such, oh yeah he's President, not king, if there aint paperwork backing him up, his words are as good as toilet paper?

Call it the Trump Doctrine?

because when they start dropping like flies, he could be held responsible.

It’s just theatre for fundies.
