    I still don't understand why Trump thinks we're out of the woods. NY & NJ may be on the downslope of their 'peak'. But Houston's predicted peak is supposed to be around the 28th. That's two weeks from today. We're the 4th largest city. I keep telling people I know (my wife...lol) the **** hasn't hit the fan yet. Each city will peak at different times. It seems like relaxing the protective measure should be related to their peak.

    oooh..just heard a "I'd like to thank the president".

    Also, the Spanish flu came back in the fall with much more devastation. The country does need to re-open but God, I hope they do it right.

    Trump taking credit for an idea California started 8 days ago. California sent ventilators to other states and back to the national stockpile

    NJ and IL governors pledge to pay the favor forward, after their peak.

    Reid: What did you do with that time that you bought? The argument is that you bought yourself some time. You didn't use it to prepare hospitals. You didn't use it to ramp up testing. Right now, nearly 20 million people are unemployed.

    Trump: You're so disgraceful. It's so disgraceful the way you say that….

    Reid: Tens of thousands of Americans are dead. How is … this rant supposed to make people feel confident in an unprecedented crisis?… What did your administration do in February for the time that your travel ban bought you?

    Trump: A lot.

    Reid: What?

    Trump: A lot, and in fact, we'll give you a list…. We did a lot. Look, look, you know you're a fake.

    You realize you just called him a "hunan being"?

    Say it in an Alec Baldwin Trump voice: "You had me at 'piece of sh**'."

    Totally agree with trumps cutting the funding for WHO which has been a embarrassment in this whole saga.

    They took China’s lies either on face value or just looked the other way at the start of this mess. They pretty much repeated everything China tried to sell the world and even praised the Chinese regime.

    You can't make this stuff up...


    "We have to get our sports back. I'm tired of watching baseball games that are 14 years old," President Donald Trump said at a White House press conference on Tuesday.

    He added: "But I haven't actually had too much time to watch. I would say maybe I watch one batter then I get back to work."

    The US didn't do much better. More than 30 other nations restricted travel before we did. The fact that they couldn't conduct an investigation right away, isn't a reason to cut funding to the World Health Organization. That's just silly.

    Wasn't Trump supposed to announce his "big decision" today, which he took the weekend to contemplate?
    Wasn't he also supposed to finalize his open up the country committee or whatever, as well?

    IMO his so-called decision to cut funding for the WHO is just another distraction, a way to avoid another seeming loss. Especially since as many media outlets have pointed out, it's not his decision to make unilaterally anyways. (EDIT: I stand corrected. He apparently does have the power to halt payment while the decision is being made.)
