Trump Mulls Declaring End to Coronavirus Emergency

[RandySF]

“The Trump administration, eager to claim victory over the coronavirus, has been considering scaling back the national emergency declared earlier this year to control the pandemic,” the Los Angeles Times reports.

“The prospect has stoked alarm among public health leaders, physicians, hospital officials and others who are trying to control the outbreak and fear that such a move would make it more difficult for state and local governments and health systems to keep the coronavirus in check.”

1. Because, Of Course He Would!

No emergency, no funding for tests?
Doubtful it would work, given Dems in the House, but I can see him thinking about it.

2. Mission Accomplished.

That didn't work for W...my guess is that it won't work for the MF either.

3. WTAF? Will he declare the Confederacy the winner of the Civil War next? n/t

15. Didn't he already do that?

Trump opposes changing bases named for Confederate generals

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that he “will not even consider” renaming U.S. military bases currently honoring Confederate leaders, calling them “part of a great American heritage.”

The White House announcement came just one day after Pentagon officials said that Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy and Defense Secretary Mark Esper were open to the possibility of changing the names, noting they would want bi-partisan consensus before any changes.

In a social media post, Trump said that the bases with controversial names — including Fort Bragg in North Carolina, Fort Hood in Texas, Fort Benning in Georgia — have a history of “winning, victory and freedom” that should be left unaltered.

4. I'm glad I live I a state that takes the virus seriously

I feel sorry for those who know what’s going on and live red states with MF45 syncopates.

My mother in law lives in Arizona and wears her mass and quarantined but she doesn’t trust the governor.

[empedocles]

8. Suspect that in time, most of the red states will take Covid seriously. Even

Florida gov is crapping Covid bricks already.

[hedda_foil]

19. Even idiot Abbott of Texas is joining in on the brick shitting.

[Kid Berwyn]

5. Thanks, Putin.

Most successful infiltration ever.

[spanone]

7. Lower and lower he goes....

[bdamomma]

9. This virus

cannot be wished away, doesn't he get it, and people are still dying from it.

You cannot stop the facts and science coming out no matter how hard he tries.

[magicarpet]

10. trDumpie says,... it only takes wishing to make it so.

A miracle is upon us.

Praise the Christian Lord.

[stopbush]

21. At its base, this is what it's all about: Xian wishful thinking as a sub for reality.

[Arkansas Granny]

11. I predicted several days ago that he was going to declare victory and

wash his hands and move on. That way he can blame someone else when it all goes to he'll.

[SoonerPride]

13. Of course he would. He's bored with it and he can't tweet it away

So he will just say "we won" and ignore it from now on.

[Strelnikov_]

14. The latest graph just screams victory . . . n/t

[Solly Mack]

16. And like all his victories - complete bullshit.

[dalton99a]

17. Goddamn murderer.

[greatauntoftriplets]

18. ...................

[Xolodno]

22. Talk about doubling down on stupid.

Him trying to minimize it and blow it off is what got him in trouble the first place. Declaring and end when even red states are starting to panic will just send him further down the spiral.
