Trump Announces Rallies Will Return and the Media Suddenly Remember Pandemic

Town Hall ^

Protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death in police custody have been carried out in every state in the nation, in small towns and large cities alike with gatherings of hundreds to thousands of people. In Manhattan on Saturday, police estimated 15,000 people demonstrated. And through it all, Democratic leaders like Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer who enforced some of the strictest lockdown orders in the country over coronavirus, all of a sudden seemed to not really care about social distancing. And the media who shamed Americans for protesting stay-at-home orders threw their full support behind the demonstrations.

But now that President Trump announced rallies will resume this month, the media suddenly cares about the pandemic again.

Hahahahaha

No kidding.

Too late, ignorant media, your guys met around the country in huge, shoulder-to-shoulder, face to face, mouth-opened, crowds. Doubt they even washed their hands. Guess your riots cured COVID19. Thanks.

Rallies will happen.

[Made In The USA]

Great news!

Remember that one that time when impeachment failed and everybody kept repeating that the only thing that could take out Trump was killing the economy, then a week later they came out with covid and crashed the economy and all the democrat governors are doing all they can to keep the economy down? Well, Trump got duped so here is his chance to crush the demonrats

President Trump is one lucky dude. If be bad announced resuming his rallies even two weeks ago, the lockdown Nazis would have screamed to high heaven. After these riots the media will still go into their usual “outrage” mode but no one will be the slightest impressed.
The riots, looting and the “defund the police" hysteria are the best things to have happened to the Trump campaign so far.
Biden is history.

After the violent, pro-communist images we’ve been seeing in our streets the last two weeks, how refreshing it will be to see thousands of patriotic Americans gather to defend freedom. But let’s not kid ourselves... there will be Antifa-inspired violence accompanying every Trump rally from now on. They are hoping someone on our side is provoked into killing one of them.

[gibsonguy]

I don’t think if was luck, the riots enabled this move. Our side can play the Never let a crises go to waste game too. We just have not a leader with the stones to do it.

[ConservativeDude]

Rallies will happen and the CDC and everyone else will immediately report a spike. It’s pathetically obvious what their countermove is.

[Zathras]

Terrorist riots good
Red hats bad

[Yulee]

Think logically. The Dems say they are concerned about Trump supporters’ health, and want to prohit Trump rallys.

Does this make sense?

Wouldn’t they want Trump supporters to spread the virus among themselves at rallys, so as to prevent them from voting in November?

Rallys destroy their narrative about how everyone has to isolate themselves and vote by mail (not absentee, but all mail in balloting).

President Trump is just "following the advice of experts" from the WHO, that tell us that asymptomatic carriers of COVID-19 are unlikely to pass the disease to others.

Isn't that what those on the Left tell us? That Trump "doesn't listen to the experts?"

RE:”But now that President Trump announced rallies will resume this month, the media suddenly cares about the pandemic again”

Saw that this morning on the Morning Joe MSNBC.

After weeks of cheering the BLM protests they are concerned about Trump holding rallies because of COVID.

I miss watching him rallies on TV

[DoodleDawg]

Hard to criticize Trump for holding rallies when Sharpton has announced a massive outdoor rally in D.C. in late August.

[dfwgator]

That’s what I say, the riots were actually a blessing in disguise to get us out of lockdown mode.

There’s no going back now. Open it up!

[blackberry1]

Sadly the Floyd protests will result in thousands of deaths if you believe the experts.

Although the destructive lockdowns imposed by Democrat/Left governors are beginning to be eased, understand that the conditions that come along with reopening businesses are not just draconian, they're designed to slow the recovery to a crawl and are unsustainable for many small businesses. And along with the severe state-wide anti-social restrictions including anti-social face-hiding and anti-social "distancing" that have done so much damage to our society, it is going to be very tough to operate businesses in California.

Take restaurants, bars and wineries for example. With the blessings of California's far-Left Governor Gavin Newsom (aka, Nancy Pelosi's nephew), in many counties these small businesses are "allowed" by the State to be reopened but only if they meet the following crushing restrictions:

-- All staff must wear masks (i.e., your food and drinks will be served by someone who looks like they belong in a sick ward)
-- Entertainment and games are prohibited "until these types of activities are allowed to resume" (no air hockey; no pool; no darts; no live music, etc. (
-- "All events or gatherings that would bring together persons from different households, such as private parties, must be cancelled or postponed until further notice"

Real nice, huh? The Democrat/Left can keep this up indefinitely while they shout that they're "ending the lockdowns" and "helping the economy to recover".

If there is any doubt in anyone's mind that this entire virus/riots carefully planned fiasco is not political; that it, along with the recent violence and continuing anti-social restrictions, is designed solely as an attempt to stop Trump's re-election; then that person is simply denying reality.

Is there a stadium in the US big enough for his next rally? There’s a lot of pent up demand :)
