Social media lit up Wednesday evening after Donald Trump announced his opposition to Gov. Brian Kemp's decision to reopen Georgia businesses amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“They can wait a little bit longer. Safety has to predominate,” Trump said Wednesday. “Would I do that? No. I want to protect people’s lives. But I’m going to let him make his decision. But I told him I totally disagree.”

Among the first people to respond to Trump’s strong words was Kemp himself, who posted three tweets defending his decision and reiterating that he’s taking a “measured step.”



While Trump’s disagreement did not change Kemp’s plan to reopen barbershops, nail salons and other businesses Friday, twitter users were quick to say to say that Georgia’s governor had been thrown “under the bus.”

He dragged him right under the wheels.

That's an example of how people like Trump manipulate things. He'll steel your watch and sell it back to you and then drive a bus over you and grab the watch.
