Trump targets Pennsylvania over coronavirus restrictions

President Trump on Monday backed Pennsylvania residents who oppose restrictions intended to slow the spread of coronavirus in the state, and accused Democratic governors of leaving such measures in place "for political purposes."

"The great people of Pennsylvania want their freedom now, and they are fully aware of what that entails," Trump tweeted.

"The Democrats are moving slowly, all over the USA, for political purposes. They would wait until November 3rd if it were up to them," he added, referring to Election Day. "Don’t play politics. Be safe, move quickly!"

The new criticism of Pennsylvania comes ahead of Trump's expected trip to the battleground state this week.

(Be safe, move quickly ?)

I must have missed it when a poll showed a majority of Pennsylvanians expressed support for risking their and other people's lives in order to get a haircut.

He is losing seniors who are realizing that he views them as expendable.

Oh, NOW that's what he wants.

This from a person that started the new year having no idea what that meant?

Hey, thanks for the great "leadership!"
