Trump, in Tweetstorm Featuring Tomi Lahren, James Woods and a Sex Counselor, Suggests End to Lockdown After 15 Days
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
President Donald Trump , in a lengthy tweetstorm Monday morning, sent strong signals that he wants the coronavirus lockdown to end after 15 days.
Late Sunday night, the president, in an all-caps dispatch, wrote:
“WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF. AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD, WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO”

WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF. AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD, WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO!
On Monday morning, a series of retweets gave a clear indication of which way he is leaning. Among those posts shared by the president, a Tweet from sex counselor Dr. Dawn Michael.
“The fear of the virus cannot collapse our economy that President Trump has built up,” Dr. Michael wrote. “We The People are smart enough to keep away from others if we know that we are sick or they are sick! After 15 days are over the world can begin to heal!”

The fear of the virus cannot collapse our economy that President Trump has built up.
We The People are smart enough to keep away from others if we know that we are sick or they are sick!
After 15 days are over the world can begin to heal!
Other retweets from Trump suggested the 15 days to slow the spread plan implemented by his White House will not extend beyond that period.

15 days. Then we isolate the high risk groups and the rest of us get back to work before it’s all over for everyone!! # Landslide2020

Steph @steph93065
Correct. 15 days, then we keep the high risk groups protected as necessary and the rest of us go back to work.
The retweets follow an Axios report Monday morning from Jonathan Swan , which said that Trump and senior White House officials are “losing patience” with the shutdown.
“At the end of the 15-day period, there will likely be a serious clash between the public health experts — who will almost certainly favor a longer period of nationwide social distancing and quarantining — versus the president and his economic and political aides, who are anxious to restart the economy,” Swan wrote.
Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren and actor James Woods also made cameos in the president’s tweet spree. Lahren’s comment criticized the idea of releasing prisoners who are vulnerable to the coronavirus.
“So we are all basically on house arrest but they are letting the prisoners out?” Lahren wrote. “Sounds like a brilliant idea.”

So we are all basically on house arrest but they are letting the prisoners out? Sounds like a brilliant idea.
And Woods took a shot at former Vice President Joe Biden .

We are in the middle of an international pandemic and the Democrats’ lead candidate has literally disappeared from the face of the earth. Is this a preview of how he would lead. It’s truly terrifying. “Joe!” # WhereIsJoeBiden # JoeBiden # WuhanCoronaVirus pic.twitter.com/eROCFrXdZ0

So much for "flattening the curve".
Joe Scarborough: Trump Rolling Back Coronavirus Guidelines After 15 Days ‘Would Be an Act of Suicide’
This iframe is not allowed
Joe Scarborough said it would be an “act of suicide” for American society if President Donald Trump lifts restrictions around the country while the coronavirus pandemic is still wrecking havoc.
Morning Joe started the week by talking about how Trump tweeted, “WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF” on Sunday night, which suggests that the president views the economic pains of the pandemic as worse than the virus’ health risks.
As Scarborough spoke with his panel about this, he lamented that there aren’t enough coronavirus tests for the American people, which means the economy will keep taking hits while “we keep flying in the dark.” He warned, however, that if Trump rolls back restrictive policies across the country now and tells people to go back to work, “it would be an act of suicide for our society if the president did that.”
“An act of suicide,” Scarborough repeated. “For millions of Americans, it would be the height of recklessness and irresponsibility as every medical professional says he needs to do just the opposite and he’s been told that for two weeks.”
Mike Barnicle agreed, saying that would be tantamount to “re-creating the 1918 plague.”
How frickin' idiotic can they get?
Kavika, as we both know, Trump is a bottomless pit of idiocy.
I don't think we've seen the bottom of stupid yet.
Trump will say he never said it, even though it is in his tweet.
In other words the media is making the false claim that experts say model must be followed indefinitely, no matter the consequences!
It's all about their hate for the President!
No, the media is saying listen to the experts not dumbass conservative (or liberal) twatwaffles. The experts are calling for wider testing and watching the numbers. With idiots congregating against advice we are more than 15 days away from peek. It's all about FREE DUMBS! 'Merica!
Yes, the lying media and this is a perfect example of why so much of what they tell us quickly turns out to be wrong.
I'm trying to figure out how your response has anything to do with what EG said.
Are you saying that the medical experts are wrong and Trump is right?
Which part of this article is a lie Vic?
Running around calling the Media en mass is emboldening the dumbasses who are still congregating. The are putting themselves and vulnerable people at risk.
The implication that the medical experts want the model followed indefinitely.
The only implication here is what people make up in their heads.
No, they want to "flatten the curve" so we don't swamp the medical community. This does lengthen how long this shit will last, but it saves lives that would otherwise be lost.
That's funny! As Dr Anthony Fauci said last night - there isn't one thing that we requested the President do, which he hasn't done, nor is there anything that we asked him not to do, which he hasn't not gone along with.
It must be depressing how Gov Cuomo keeps sabotaging the media's preferred anti-Trump talking points on a daily basis. As he keeps saying that an indefinite lockdown is not sustainable
Another media lie. For the 12th time - Trump never called the virus a hoax
I know that. He called concern about the coronavirus a hoax meant to hurt him personally.
Trump was saying things like "we only have a few cases" and "it will be over soon" and people pointed out that Trump was minimizing the threat.
Vic, what was this "hoax"? There is proof that Trump minimized the threat in public statements. Where is there "hoax" in pointing that out?
You believe everything that Trump says. Other people are more discerning.
I know you do and you keep perpetuating it. This article is based on two lies and a lot of hate.
No, this article is based on tweets Donald Trump made saying he is thinking about ending the "lockdown" (against all medical advice).
Vic, is Trump a fucking doctor?
Implication? Really Vic? Any implication is in your own head. Would you care to specify the exact statements you feel cause you to imply it?
It's based on trump's OWN TWEETS...sheesh
There is quite a bit of time that elapses between 15 days and infinity. Both timeframes are rediculous. It will have run its course when it does. Establishing an artificial political agenda to a pandemic is the height of insanity. Much like Trump's response to AGW (it's a Chinese hoax), his response to coronavirus has been equally ignorant.
Contrary to what every epidemiologist advises, Trump will continue to rule from a position of ignorance, bluster and lies to the detriment of this and other countries.
There are people who, if Trump told them to drink a glass water that was filled with corona virus, would do it. Thats how strong the cult following is.
More babble....
We will defeat you again!
If his was babble, what is your off-topic mismatch of words?
Just look no further than Hong Kong. They thought they had it beat, and after lifting restrictions, things have started to spike again.
Of course... this is all still a hoax right?
That's a false claim by democrats. The President never said the virus itself was a hoax. It doesn't seem to matter to some here.
There are others out there claiming it's a hoax. Facebook is filled with idots.
Is that the fallback answer when called?
That's really weak.
Bullshit! "Coronavirus: Trump calls criticism Democrat 'hoax'
The truth hasn't ever mattered to Trump supporters..... I doubt that it ever will.
And you can't read the context?
Here let me make it plain for the 13th time:
Politico published an article claiming President Donald Trump called the novel coronavirus a “hoax” at his Feb. 28 campaign rally in South Carolina.
Verdict: False
Trump referred to the alleged “politicizing” of the coronavirus by Democrats as “their new hoax.” He did not refer to the coronavirus itself as a hoax. Throughout the speech, Trump reiterates his administration is taking the threat of the coronavirus seriously.
You post a CYF link that is part of the "Daily Caller" website..... hardly impartial Vic.
Mine... The BBC.... They have laws they have to follow regarding truth in reporting.
I use to want to give you the benefit of the doubt Vic, but it seems like you'll cover Trumps ass no matter what the lie these days.
You can't help those that chose to be willfully obtuse. some people are only capable of reading headlines...pretty sad really.
And even leftwing snopes calls your viewpoint BS.
It's okay it is understandable with the rampant TDS affecting the nation.
After four years of continuous lies by the lard-ass & chief, and his supporters willingness to regurgitate those lies, credibility that those like you and Vic seek is going to be fleeting.
FLYNAVY might try to deny it, but as John said "I know"
Some admit it, some don't, but they all perpetuate the same lie.
TDS=Trump DENIAL syndrome. Denying everything he says even when there is proof of all the asinine, outrageous, idiotic bull shit he spews forth.
Funny..... you've learned projection well from Trump. He's taught you well.
What I know is that people, Democrats and others, criticized Trump's lack of seriousness about the virus (for many weeks) .
Trump called that criticism a "hoax". Of course, that doesnt even make any sense, but Trump likes to call any criticism of him a "hoax".
What else would you like me to explain to you Vic?
Who the fucking hell is he, he is NOT a doctor. He is a blithering Idiot and a wanna be dictator.
WORST PRESIDENT EVER!!!!
He proves time and again he only cares for himself.
Make America Think Again. Please.
Unfortunately, some folks gave up thinking for themselves many years ago due to Fox, Rush, Glenn, Ann, and a plethora of Murdoch and Koch owned far right wing fascist disinformation media.
Sounds like you've been over at Brietbart recently... The problem there is you can't really tell the gullible from those purposely sewing misinformation.
I was pretty much home bound before all this started because of a lack of transportation. Now that I have a scooter, I can at least get to Vons and my mom and pop store. I limit both of those. Luckily both deliver, so I don't go very often. I am now catching up on painting projects and doing yard work.
