What will a desperate, dangerous narcissist do in order to FULLY reopen the economy?

We will learn the answer in the upcoming months. The next six months may be the most dangerous time period we have ever lived through.

Trump knows he cannot win re-election if the economy does not recover. He knows the only possible way for the economy to recover is for it to fully reopen. Trump is not interested in a partial reopening.

If you listen closely to Trump, (I know it's painful) when he makes a crazy statement, tells a lie, he will let the truth, true intentions slip out. When you listen to Trump you have to think in a contrarian way, because Trump mixes lie's with the truth. It's a narcissistic obsession he uses to protect himself. When Trump makes a crazy statement it sounds crazy to us, It's not crazy to him.

Here is a recent statement by Trump. We need to quickly reopen the economy and do it in a safe way. That statement is illogical, you cannot quickly reopen and be safe. The key word, the truth, the intent in that statement is quickly. The lie, the cover, is the word safe. Safe is not a high priority for Trump.

If you pay attention to Trumps actions you can see he has already begun the process of forcing the economy to fully reopen. He has Barr threatening legal action, he is pushing, threatening , blackmailing, Governors to reopen. He is forcing government agencies to remove safety regulations and oversight.

Commonsense tells us the economy will not be able to fully reopen for a very long time. The economy will have a very hard time recovering, it could get worse. This will cause Trump to become more and more desperate. He is a cornered, terrified, narcissist. We can only imagine what that will lead to over the next six months.

1. What happens to a consumer driven economy when consumers are dying by the thousands?

I hope we aren't going to find out.

3. Now is not the time to think things through!!

We need to use our reptilian brains and come up with a plan, to blow up or shoot at covid-19 like it was a hurricane!

4. Agreed ... that Trump is volatile ... a cornered animal ... dangerous.

But he’s also stupid. He can work to eliminate every stay-at-home order in the country, and nothing will change. He might actually succeed at eliminating every stay-at-home order in the country, and nothing will change.

Businesses aren’t reopening because people won’t come, regardless of whether or not there’s a stay-at-home order in place. We just lost over 20 million jobs. It will take many years to replace them. Presidential fiat can not force businesses to reopen.
