So he just said that he is going to let some states open sooner than May.

[cayugafalls]

"Numerous states that are in great shape, right now".

"They're viewing the rest of the country as we don't believe this is happening".

"They're set to open, practically now".

Is he insane? So he is going to open half the country and then what?

wtf...this guy is crazy.

2. He doesn't get to "let" some states open up sooner than May.

It is up to the states.

That said, there will be some states that exercise poor judgment and open up sooner . . . to the extent they even closed.

[cayugafalls]

5. I think my state, Texas will be one of the states that opens sooner.

Abbott seems to mimic trump at every chance.

[onecaliberal]

3. The whole country will open in May.

Get ready for mass graves galore.

[cwydro]

15. I don't think NC is going to do that.

I hope not.

4. I'm going to let Pizza Hut deliver pizza's to people too ... jus damn

[cayugafalls]

12. His phrasing allows him to escape any economic blame if they don't open up.

He gets to avoid being responsible and it possibly gives him an excuse to deny a state financial aid if they need it.

Of course, states he favors will get all the aid they need.

[uponit7771]

13. +1, I pray Dems get ahead of this messaging

[cwydro]

16. All the pizza places are delivering - are you not aware of that?

And btw, the electric grid is still just fine.

6. Only Wyoming

1 death. The rest of the states have way more.

[tblue37]

10. One death that they know of. Like W. Virginia, lack of testing could be obscuring cases and deaths.

[blitzen]

7. Sure, "open" Florida. Peak deaths projected for May 7. Good idea Trump! n/t

[shockey80]

8. When Trump opens up North Dakota that will solve our economic problems.

[bluestarone]

9. My guess is

Only the RETHUGLICON states that ALREADY are talking with him. (i'm sure they have some kind of plan as to WHO will agree with tRUMP)

[cayugafalls]

11. You are probably right about that.

I know that here in Texas a lot of trump bots are just going about their business as if nothing is happening at all. While it may work out for them, it kind of sucks to be someone who has to take it seriously.

I am hoping that Mayors will hold their ground and not let the Governor dictate their fate.

[Marrah_Goodman]

14. The rabidly red ones will open up

And more people will die because of it
