I disagree with Trump on this one. I think he wants to get re-elected and he knows his position will not turn his base away but may soften the hearts of some in the middle.

How does he know that?

By publicly dumping on Kemp’s decision, Trump may have made other governors more reluctant to open their economies any time soon, because they don’t know what Trump will say for or against them in public.

If the effect is to slow the economic reopening, Trump’s reelection chances go down.

Economic depressions are not good for incumbents.

I have been a Trump supporter since the elevator day - and argued with Cruzbots for months until they finally came around. I desperately want him reelected - but that’s one reason I’m so angry about him throwing Kemp under the bus. It looks weak, it looks disloyal, and it hurts the prospects of us getting out of this mess sooner rather than sometime after Biden is inaugurated.

It doesn’t matter what position the President takes, he’ll be slammed in the media, and by the Democrats whatever it is. I just saw today that they are adding military cameras on the border, and all the headlines are saying that “despite a drop in border crossings, cameras are being added to the wall.” To me they’re complaining about this move, almost as if it’s an overstep. Yet cameras were one of the main things Democrats promoted instead of building the actual wall. So, whether the cameras were or weren’t added, the media would find some reason to complain about it.

I’m with ya! There are a helluva lot of people who want to go back to work and even more small business owners and people near retirement who are saying, “I lost my business and my retirement for this?” - and I’m one of them.

Trump and the Corona Virus Task Force gave recommendations on how to mitigate the virus and said next to nothing when governors like Whitmer, Wolf and others went way beyond those guidelines, leaving it up to the governors to determine the best course. This week they gave guidelines for recovery, Kemp is going beyond those guidelines and he’s being crucified, even by Trump. I know some fervent Trump supporters who have no intention of voting at all because of this; and no, I’m not there - yet.

As for a resurgence, of course it’ll happen. It has with all other flu types and it will with the coronavirus. CDC is still tracking H1N1 infections and deaths and started 11 years ago.
