we should keep this updated, but it's facinating and scary how little regard for anyone he has.

trump has absolute power to reopen economy (okay was total)


trump will allow govenors to decide

Trump will let governors decide when to reopen states

trump tells people to liberate their states

https://i1.wp.com/www.towleroad.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Trumptweets.png

doj and bar start making threats agaisnt states that are too strict or don't open too soon

Barr Threatens Legal Action Against States for Keeping People Under “House Arrest”

trump praises kempt, and then 12 hours later says he shouldn't re-open.

Trump tells Georgia governor he supports move to reopen despite public health experts' concerns, source says

Trump Tells Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp He's Reopening State 'Too Soon'



edit 4/23 he now says may extend guidlines till june.

how can anyone have faith in him, he seems to change not based on whats best or smart, but what he thinks will help or hurt his election. He only now seems to care about georgia reopening because everyones saying it's a bad idea.

Oops posted this in news, and meant to post it here, so reposting.

the biggest problem with this is, no one knows what they are supposed to do, are they supposed faster, follow the guidelines, it creates mixed signals.
I think the obvious answer is that they are supposed to ignore Donald and listen to actual leaders.

... unless they need their reality TV fix, then turn on the reality TV guy for some relief.

The President Praised Kemp’s for winning an election, he then disagrees with the man on how to open the State.

that is NOT a changing narrative, but two different ones.

That is the easiest one to debunk. The others can be debunked from looking at them in context. An inconvenient truth.

Seriously now, how can any of that which you rehashed have been intended by him to help his re-election?

Because he goes with the whim, he started by saying he had absolute power as he was desperate to get the economy going as thats one of the things he's managed to do.

Then people rightly pointed out that this would cause a second wave and more deaths, likly fearing this would hurt him, he shifted blame to the govenors, if no second wave he wins, if there is he can blame the govenors.

But not helping himself he turned around and tried to goad people into pushing the govenors.

he was supporting kemp till again people started pointing out this will cause more deaths so had to push back saying he was going too fast.

Just conjecture, but watching trump for 3 years, he's had a huge tendecy to go where the wind blows and focus on certain things. He wants the economy open, but doesn't want to take the blame if people die.

That was supposed by him to be helpful to his re-election chances??

Or was it that claiming to have absolute authority in the current crisis the thing that was supposed to endear him to undecided voters?

I cannot help but think that the reasoning and the claims of people who don't like the President are less logical than what they are saying isn't logical about his own statements.

From the link:

Trump tells Georgia governor he supports move to reopen despite public health experts' concerns, source says
Who is the source? Where is the transcript of what he said?

Duet 19:15 “One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or any sin that he commits; by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established.
There isn't even one witness.

Unless of course you have a direct quote from the Attorney General. Where he threatened lawsuits if they didn't open fast enough - I don't believe a word of it. I do a whole lot of reading, the only thing I've heard is his caution to not abuse people's civil rights.

Gotta call you on this

That has nothing to do with the claims made against him here, though. Not anything about

Oh and look he's changed again, not even a week after he was yelling liberate....

Trump says he may extend coronavirus social distancing guidelines to early summer

Just a minute. Social distancing is one and only one aspect of the lockdown, and is probably the least demanding of all the things we have been subjected to during this explosion of government edicts. If all that we were told to do was keep social distancing I am sure it would feel like a great relief!

Big part of social distancing is staying at home,

I don't think that's what the term is usually taken to mean, but in the video provided, this issue was referred to but not defined, so I cannot comment further on that.

yeah, i will wait for clarification and then remove if it turns out it's what you said. Though this does bring up the problem of trump really doesn't make it easy for anyone. For those that are opening tomorrow and next week they are likly going to be wondering, "Wait are we to stop opening, or what?" and I'm sure his supporters that are protestors are going to be confused.

one thing that confuses me on it is, if it's not stay at home...then how is that different then whats been going on I think everyone assumed even when the economy re-opens to keep social distancing for a while.
