Even as nations from Britain to India declare nationwide economic lockdowns, President Trump said he “would love to have the country opened up, and just raring to go, by Easter,” less than three weeks away, a goal that top health professionals have called far too quick.
“I think it’s possible, why not?” he said with a shrug.
Participating in a town hall hosted by Fox News, Mr. Trump and Vice President Mike Pence said on Tuesday that such a step has never been under consideration for the United States.
He expressed outrage about having to “close the country” to curb the spread of the coronavirus and indicated his guidelines on business shutdowns and social distancing would soon be lifted.
“I gave it two weeks,” he said, adding, “We can socially distance ourselves and go to work.”
Mr. Pence told viewers that talk of such a lockdown was misinformation that has circulated online.
“I can tell you that at no point has the White House Coronavirus Task Force discussed a nationwide lockdown,” he said, answering a question from a viewer on the phone.
Mr. Trump fell back on his comparison of the coronavirus to the flu, saying that despite losing thousands of people to the flu, “We don’t turn the country off.”
He also said that more people die of automobile accidents, but nobody forces car companies to stop manufacturing vehicles.
…
He also said two malaria drugs, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for off-label use treating patients with Covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. The F.D.A. did not immediately confirm that assertion, but two administration health officials said it was not true.
…
Mr. Trump lashed out at New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has been holding daily briefings of his own every day that have gained national attention as fact-based and emotional counters to Mr. Trump’s own daily briefings. Mr. Cuomo, who is seeking federal aid, has at times complimented Mr. Trump for his leadership during the crisis.
But Mr. Trump said he did not appreciate criticism he saw on television from someone he views as a rival. “I watch him on this show complaining,” Mr. Trump said. “He had 16,000 ventilators he could have had a great price and he didn’t buy them.”
Within moments of going live, he also went after his likely foe in November, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.
He referred to him as “Sleepy Joe” and claimed that Mr. Biden did not know what the word “xenophobic” meant when he criticized Mr. Trump’s approach to the spreading coronavirus
wow sounds like @riverman missed a good one. angrily threatening to unleash a deadly virus on the whole country if the stock market keeps going down. this is the most villainous thing he’s done yet. kids in cages is, pardon the pun, child’s play compared to this gambit
all doctors: THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE
trump: i think it is possible, and i’m going to do it. i proved the politicians and political experts wrong, i proved all the lawyers wrong, including my own lawyers. i can do anything if i just go with my gut. and my gut says: open the country during the deadly virus

Yes. Governors who say “sir” in every sentence will get lots of their state’s money back. Others, not so much.

New York is the only state that has enough tests for people. The other states aren’t testing people very much

The doctor in Chapter 4 of the This Podcast Will Kill You series makes a great analogy
Talking about opening things back up now is like trying to rebuild a house while it is still on fire.

I hate to say it, but I hate Trump and would gladly vote Biden/HRC into office to pwn teh Boomers
No, it’s more than that. He wants NY to stop investigating him/finding possible state charges to put on him.

Trump approval rating back up to about right after he started. As the media/dems should’ve learned in 16, messaging doesn’t matter when his is the one being shown on TV all the time and even this thread is watching it for some reason. Like the car crash on the highway I guess.

Has he taken credit for the single biggest point gain in one day yet?
If that clip goes on a little further, he blames the bad tests on Obama.
Best day since 1933!
Working hard, thank you!

When was the first time this whole “15-Day Challenge” nonsense was referenced? I think it’s only been 2 days since they started calling it that, but apparently we’re already on day 9?? Trump can’t even wait a whole 15 days, we retroactively started the “challenge”.
