Politics BREAKING NEWS: I WILL defy the doctors says Trump claiming 'our people want to return to work'

Such an unbelievably irresponsible and short sighted statement by Trump. When people come back and get sick and we see deaths sky rocketed guess what genius that will utterly destroy any chance for an economy for the foreseeable future

 

agree...if Joe goes with a radical leftie, he lose's. If he goes with a moderate or even reasonable progressive he should win.

 

Trump wants to save HIS businesses!

 

There really could be a point of no return, imo.
The devastation from being shut down for more than a month or more would have a dramatic impact that could be as bad or even worse than the virus.

 

I would like my son to save his too!

 

Klobuchar is my favorite but ticket-wise I still think Val Demings or Kamala Harris would be a smarter move.

 

I personally know a few people who were laid off, who had their businesses shut down and will probably never re-open. They aren't sure where the money's going to come from to keep themselves afloat or families fed. Some companies are hiring en masse, but as more and more people need those jobs more and more people will get turned away. It's already very real for a lot of people who don't have the virus, now obviously those people probably won't die right away, but I think we can expect to see suicide rates climb, and from other things are byproducts of shutting down society.
I'm not even making an argument that we shouldn't shut things down and practice social distancing when we have to be out. I'm just making the case that I'm of the opinion there needs to be a very measured thought out response to this situation because it's very likely the case that every decision our politicians are making right now will needlessly cut people's lives short.

 

I think that the worst thing about these shutdowns is that it's essentially asking younger people to take a huge financial hit in order to save primarily older lives. I don't think that there's any way to deny that's what's happening, but when the loss of life is potentially in the millions, what else can you do? I'm just praying that this treatment protocol with the malaria drug and antibiotic works and/or the virus has a tendency to die down with warmer/more humid weather.

 

Trump misses his campaign rallies. The daily stroke fest from his cabinet isn't enough for his bloated ego, especially when terrible reporters ask nasty questions and pointy headed doctors disagree with him. He needs to go before thousands of screaming adoring fans, say "Hunter Biden" and have them all scream "lock him up". An "invisible" (viruses are not invisible) enemy is insufficient for him.

 

I really have no idea what the right answer is in terms of what they should do... I know I wish that who we had in charge of the country and our states were cool collected people able to adequately assess the situation, get feedback from intelligent responsible individuals and make tough decisions in a responsible way, but I don't think we have that at any level of government right now...

 

We will need to release some oxygen to keep us going at some point.

 

Agree 100%.

 

There is no good solution. The fact that the occupant of the white house was focused on his re-election so didn't want a crisis is terrible but past fixing now.

We need economic support for working people and small business.

You can recover from recession but no one recovers from being dead.

 

Yeah, it's kinda hard to "make a living" if you're not alive.

 

Not happening, unfortunately. The more I am watching what is going on the more I am getting convinced that Trump is just the kind of idiot to get us ready for the Antichrist.

I am sorry for bringing religion in to this but it is unavoidable at this point. Especially if he actually goes through with returning everything to normal next week.

Whats the point of opening business when half the country is infected and thousands of elders are dying every day? I can't believe this is even a fucking debate. There IS a right solution. And there is a wrong one. Don't understand the issue-- this is unequivocal.

 

if he had actually distanced himself from his own businesses, this wouldn't even be an issue. The only reason this orange fucktard is bringing this shit up and people are debating it is because he's losing $ daily.

ugh

 

Trump's playing Mr. scientist.
