That's odd:

Trump gives governors 3-phase plan to reopen economy

By ZEKE MILLER, ALAN SUDERMAN and KEVIN FREKINGApril 16, 2020

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump gave governors a road map Thursday for recovering from the economic pain of the coronavirus pandemic, laying out “a phased and deliberate approach” to restoring normal activity in places that have strong testing and are seeing a decrease in COVID-19 cases.

“We’re starting our life again,” Trump said during his daily press briefing. “We’re starting rejuvenation of our economy again.”

POTUS can and should talk about anything he wants. However, he should get more rest and study his notes more carefully.

AP is unwittingly giving Trump a good idea. The news conferences have outlived their usefulness. His very participation in them is now legitimizing the Democrats’ attempt to keep the fear going. Let Pence take it from here.

Righty-O, and we DON’T need to hear from Pence every day either. Put this thing on the wind-down road now, and back to the economy.

Fauci and Birx seem to really have Trump’s ear on this stupid bug! He needs to cut ties with them! Birx is already saying this social Distancing bs needs to continue through the summer! She’s freaking crazy, but Trump can’t seem to let her go!

....

Exactly! Half of those useless pressers are these guys congratulating themselves! They are beyond useless anymore! We’re sick hearing about ventilators and social Distancing!

Enough already!

Yup. He drank the Fauci Kool Aid. Most of us saw it, apparently his advisors said nothing.

The economy is the greater threat at this time, so a “pivot” would be well advised. Reports are saying that in the next couple weeks half of America will have exhausted their liquid savings. That means that many will be liquidating investments to get by. That means the stock market may be hit with a wave of selling, sending the indices sharply lower once again.

Short interest is at an all time high, so the pros seem to think this will be the case. Time for us regular folks to hedge with some index puts.

... talking up the economy, in tighter controlled settings.

He can talk it up all he wants but recovery is going to take time and things will still be pretty grim come November.

I believe he started a group about 10 days ago to deal with the economy and they have already met.

He did first things first...get money out there to help folks and businesses and we're going from there.

The Med Experts contradict themselves every day. And it looks like they were stunned to find out that herd immunity was in progress. And that means the gloves and masks have played little to nothing in this war against an invisible enemy.

Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.

Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present his name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.

To stop any return of manufacturing of products back to the US that went to China. China backers here who’s family members are making millions from China through their political connections will be hit hard are also claiming that Trump’s alleged stock ownership in a quinine pills maker claim its a controlling interest in a product to be totally ineffective and when used requires a severe restriction of movement when near a possible carrier known as a shutdown because of its rapid transmission .

‘He never said to inject toxic anything’

true; but his problem there is he was so non-conversant on the subject...clearly, if he had heard about it just prior he could have researched it and then, when speaking about it he could have at directed the conversation where he wanted...

‘things will still be pretty grim come November.’

third and fourth quarters are going to be butt ugly...but the dems are going to have to do some fancy footwork to get Biden out of the way, even if he runs the campaign and wins...he can’t run the country, everybody and his grandmother can see that...

________________

I disagree. I think he did research it, as I found tons of examples past and present of exactly what he referenced being used in clinical situations.

What he did was phrase it as a question to the doctors, without trying to sound like some instant internet expert.

The press itself (King) actually had to admit that the internal UV disinfectant was actually true.

I will bet that a large percentage of Americans searched the exact terms he used, for whatever reasons, and all were either shocked or impressed to discover it was a thing.

Everyone running to indict POTUS for being uninformed had to then discover he knew more than they did. The progs and the pearl-clutchers were embarrassed because their prog family/friends were jibing about it are the only ones chiding POTUS about his remarks.

Internal application of UV light is an actual therapy. Applying ozone, peroxide and chlorine dioxide to blood is an actual practice. So, evidently, is inhaling ethanol vapors from a glass of warmed spirits.

Millions of people gargle w/3% peroxide. If it’s an old, opened bottle, it has already lost some strength and is safe for either an oral rinse or a gargle.

The public was non-conversant and the media simply played off that for as long as possible until the public became conversant.

Pivot? Phase 1 was shut it down to flatten curve [curve is flattened] Phase 2 is open it up.

About a week or so late because he wandered off into the weeds of bleach and ultra violet in the mean time.

But move on! MAGA
