Trump to travel to Arizona Honeywell facility next week amid push to lift coronavirus restrictions

Source: USA Today

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump will travel to Phoenix on Tuesday, leaving the confines of Washington for the first time in more than a month as the administration begins pushing states to ease coronavirus restrictions that have crippled the U.S. economy.

The president will visit a Honeywell aerospace facility that is expanding its production to meet the demand for the critical N-95 respirator masks needed for health care workers on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic, according to White House spokesman Judd Deere.

"The visit will highlight Honeywell’s investment in critical medical equipment production within the United States and the addition of 500 manufacturing jobs in Arizona," Deere said in a statement. "President Trump and his Administration, and the Coronavirus Task Force continue to lead the fight for Arizona and the country against this invisible enemy."

The president revealed his travel plans earlier Wednesday during a roundtable discussion with business executives from companies including Hilton, Waffle House and Wynn Resorts.

for the duration of the summer, he probably would have a stroke if he tried to play golf while he was there.

Maybe we should try to get him to play a round of golf in AZ? I'm just thinking out loud.

Where were they six months ago?

Typical corporate leadership, worse than government though they deny it. Layer upon layer of management to produce zero ventilators when needed, and deliver overpriced and untested ventilators months after the first peak.

Restroom toilet flush plumes! He says he wonders, he's had discussions. It's a blood based illness, it's in stools, are restrooms a virus laden atmosphere for hours after a visit? Asked if he would use a public restroom? No.

He's got withdrawal jitters from missing the mindless adulation of his red hatted followers. Even if it's only 100 people, he'll jump at the chance to recharge his narcissism batteries.
