Funny though, Trump will have the upper hand if it does tank, because everyone knows it wasn’t his fault.

And they know he’s already demonstrated the ability to fix the economy.

Trump is doing it right.

Let some states open up, see the results, and if it works, there will be too much pressure on the other states, that they will have no choice but to open up likewise.

I understand that there are many facets to this, but it seems that the Law Of Unintended Consequences will bite the RAT govs in their respective asses when it all shakes out.

Also, the states need the money that economic activities produce. The feds can print money, the states can’t.

The game is now on

we have defeated the virus

Yesterday , our great and wonderful president , Donald J Trump , has laid out the opening of America guidelines - which are very conservative and that a lot of input by doctors Fauci and Birx

there’s really no way that liberals can poke holes in these guidelines. they have specific timetables on when you get from stage one and stage two and stage III and so now the spotlight will simply be on the intransigent mayors and Governors in blue states who do not want the economy to restart ; and this will be fun to watch

Because guess what ? There’s a lot if democrats that want to get back to reality and gun and bars and sports. Count on it !

that will work until the sheep start seeing the rest of the country starting up again... First the cries of unfairness will echo across the land, then they’ll realize it’s falling on def ears. The the Teens in the cities will start to misbehave and then the dem Governors will have no choice but to back off...

It is amazing that the author would even have the nerve to offer up something as absurd as this.

No one except the 5% perennial lefty nutcases would even think of blaming the President for the economy given what was the cause for the turn down.

But then what else do they have?

Trump needs to do that, and patriots need to put the fear of God in these bastards.

We really need to stop with the conspiracy theories, as it makes our side look like a bunch of tinfoil wearing crazies.

Has no-one considered that these same Dem “conspirators” will crash their OWN, city & state-level economies if they keep things shut down any longer than absolutely necessary? And in the process, have their own world class collapse on their hands to deal with?

The largest city near me is run by a Dem mayor (albeit, a former businessman of some renown), and they are already having HUGE $$ problems - mostly because of the drop in “revenues” (ie: taxes) including $600K a DAY in casino taxes. The $$ problems are to the point he’s cutting employees, cutting pay, furloghing workers, etc. If it continues much longer, there won’t be much left for him to run. And I think he knows that there is no white knight on the horizon that’s going to gallup in and save his city. So do you think he actively WANTS the city to stay shut down and lose all those “revenues” until his city totally and completely collapses? Hell, no!

I have no doubt the Dems and MSM are loving the economic pain happening at the moment and the impact it’s having on POTUS, but to suggest that they WANT the economic pain to continue - even if it hurts their own states to the point of collapse or near collapse also is just plain dumb IMHO, and gives the other side plenty of ammo to say that we’ve lost our minds..

These clowns who are rooting for a depression should think about who will be the first casualties when the civil war begins. They need to take a long hard look into a mirror and ask themselves if it’s worth it.

As I was completely disobeying my lock down orders and driving home from visiting my daughter’s home today, I decided that China deliberately released this into America to crash the economy and get President Trump out of office. They want the dems back in so they can get back on the $500 Billion a year gravy train that the president brought to a screeching halt.

Not only do I think China has done this intentionally, but I believe they had a wink and a nod from the dems, in particular, the Clintons. The Clintons have always been in cahoots with the Chicoms.....and both the Clintons, along with the dems, and the Chinese could not care less about those hurt or killed along the way.

That is part of the plan, yes.

They have multiple goals to accomplish. That is one of them.

The Democrats proposal to halt the economy-and then extending the shut down-is classic Cloward-Piven. These were two university professors from Columbia University School of Social Work, who realized that a capitalist society would never switch to communism because we are too economically successful. So, they advocated getting as many people on food stamps, welfare, etc. to eventually become too expensive, and that would crash the whole economic structure. Out of the ashes, their new Socialist society would have a “guaranteed annual income” for all citizens. Sound familiar? This corona virus halting of the economy is Cloward-Piven on the fastrack.

No.

Day 1 of the reopening, Trump should ANNOUNCE he is moving all federal purchases from shut-down states into those opening. Move as much as possible, as fast as possible - cancel open contracts if possible. Make blue state business (likely democrat supporters) DEMAND their states open too.

Let me be perfectly frank - should that happen - the city as we know it will be destroyed. Small businesses will not be able to survive. Crime will surge to catastrophic levels.

And the idiots in NYC will reelect De Blasio or some other communist, and smile happily while their own throats are cut.

You’ve got one big problem.

I don’t know where Starnes has been but the economy has already tanked. It’s going to take a while for it to restart.
