Any business in Georgia now exposes itself to being sued if an employee can show causation & gets very ill or dies from #COVIDー19 if the business opened without phase 1 standards being met. And I guarantee these statements by @realDonaldTrump will be part of the lawsuit.

Fox 5 Atlanta tweet he was commenting on:

"I told the governor of #Georgia, Brian Kemp, that I disagree strongly with his decision to open certain facilities which are in violation of the phase one guidelines for the incredible people of Georgia," the president said. #fox5atl #COVID19 #coronavirus

4. Anyone who sticks his neck out for trump is an idiot

Trump wants it both ways, encouraging states to loosen up and then pretending he didn’t.

5. Employers would be liable without Trump's statement. Unsafe

working conditions are real in themselves. But useful for Trump to underline the chicanery politically for Illicit Officeholder Kemp. Businesses will be suing states for effectively forcing them to open.

6. I'm looking forward to the tv ads from law firms. "Have you or a loved one suffered ..."

12. They're already airing here in the Nashville area!

I'm being dead serious, lol.

"Have you or a loved one contracted the Covid 19 virus while a resident at a local nursing home...call the law offices of.."

7. It's actually more than a problem just for Kemp. The phase 1 guidelines are public record

for which any business opening in any state can be scrutinized according to the phase 1 standards.

8. Trump is just setting up these governors to be the fall guys

Whenever the next spike inevitably occurs.

10. True, but Kemp did leap in front that bus so quickly. nt

[Docreed2003]

11. Very true

As did our idiot governor here in TN...all about the businesses.
