Allies and aides inside and outside the White House have told the president there is more potential risk at going too fast than too slow.

claims since the start of the shutdown, campaign advisers don’t expect the economy to be back to where it was at the start of the year by Election Day. But the hope is that by fall it will be on the upswing, giving Trump the chance to pitch an American comeback story featuring feel-good images of people going back to work.

One concern advisers have raised about an extended shutdown that lasts into the summer is that the delay could send the economy into a prolonged tailspin where businesses permanently close and don’t re-hire their workers, depressing employment numbers into next year, said a White House official. “It would be a disaster if it opened up too early, and again, we have a double curve and a double spike in cases and in deaths and we are back to where we were before,” said the White House official.

Opening his mouth is a political risk

He is a DISGRACE!

Unfortunately, he doesn't listen to anyone...

One thing is certain: After His Presidential Majesty revealed his 'plan', the Trumpublican Governors will start to line up opening their States as fast as possible. Texas's Abbott is leading the race. Already people are flocking to stores yesterday.

Going too fast, as His Presidential Majesty wants to do, will result in a major resurgence of COVID-19. The only way safely out of this is testing, testing, testing - by the millions every DAY! And, for that, we are NOT ready!

Duh

You have to put on Twitter for home to understand, then it will have to be in pictographs, the guy is just about money, how he can profit from his job and from his deals, so sad the people did not come first

He's thinking about politics and money rather than people's lives. Who voted for this maniac?

He needs to visit the hospitals.

唐纳🐷总统还要你们敎吗? 那还像话吗?🤣🤣🤣那还算总统吗?他又不是弱智的总统!

Duh.

He does not care, he wants to make money. Sure he handed the business over to sons and daughters. Come on people look at what he use to own.

Get the economy going very soon. I fear the economy more than the virus. If I can’t live free, then I don’t fear death. Every day is a risk. I’m more likely to get killed by a gun in Chicago than die of The Corona virus. Let’s move out.

And do the advisers realized he has yet to listen to them? Fuck no.🤣

His allies should tell him he’s fked in more ways than one ... no testing no ppe is a dereliction of duty

I thought its the Governor’s sole responsibility to open their own State?🤔🤔🤔

he is only interested in getting re-elected. nothing else.

Here we go again the great pundit of covid 19 virus

There's no downside for Trump. (As he could care less about human lives.) If we go fast and it goes well, he takes the credit. If we go fast and get slammed with a 2nd wave, he blames it on governors. And if a 2nd wave hits this fall, he'll try like hell to postpone the election!

ChosenBoy will simply blame them when covid19 numbers spike again at all these 'essential' places (beaches, wrestling matches) 😋 that are being opened by his lockstep governors.

Trump doesn't care! He thinks some Americans are expendable!

And so does not re opening. Welcome to politics

And he’s listened to them when? Please, I’m waiting. One example. ......?

He WON’T listen, he will use his gut again...to kill more Americans

He does not seem concerned about the risk to Americans. Only the show.

Trump always goes to fast. Ask Melania.

Con man doesn't care.

So if I drive recklessly, my car insurance costs go up. Why do these conservatives get to live in the same health insurance pools as normal folks?

After all, this is neither a moral or human calculation... merely a calculation of how it affects him politically. 😒

Doublin' down on dumbassery to infinity

Should have had that advice before he procreated.

Emperor trump

Trump set to announce reopening guidelinesAs the president is set to announce Thursday his plans to reopen parts of the economy by May 1, Republicans including Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana are publicly discussing the need to reopen despite the consequences. The panel discusses. Ha ha ha... It would be great if 80 percent of the public just ignored him and listened to actual scientists Why are you reporting this like he has the authority to reopen something he didn’t even technically close in the first place? This is all up to the governors. Sounds like another shit show!

No plan in sight: Test troubles cloud Trump recovery effortAround the country, labs and public officials tell AP that critical shortages in supplies such as swabs and chemicals make it impossible to increase COVID-19 testing to the levels needed to keep the virus in check and reopen the economy. Why test? I could be negative today and positive in 3 days. It’s the busy work of the medical industry. Wear a mask. Wash hands. Social distance. Open economy. Testing is irrelevant other than finding hot spots.
