Pick your poison.
He now has the characteristic frozen, puzzled look that is easily recognizable to anyone who has spent years in health care, it is unmistakable. He is easily confused, disoriented, easily agitated, and over reacts with aggression in uncomfortable situations, all hallmarks of early stage Alzheimers disease. Very sad but absolutely unimaginable that a man like this has even a slight chance of being elected President of the United States.

Sorry, I’m just sick of this creep.

per SNOPES:

What's False

Despite creating some confusion with his remarks, Trump did not call the coronavirus itself a hoax.

I’m not a fan of either political party but I am keeping it real

Guys... lets cut the politics out of this. The discussion is what might happen.

IF GM, Ford and FCA are not NOW planning how they will reopen their plants (what conditions) once they get approval from their State Health authorities (yes --- STATE not "Trump") they are idiots

And they are NOT idiots. Right now they are looking at finding the way they will reopen, under what conditions, what they will do differently to stop an infection on their site and what to do if someone is found to have an infection.

THAT'S what's really going on. The only question is how well we combat or control the rate of infection. That has NOTHING to do with "Trump's hopes" -- which I think all of us would love to happen but are being realistic about what probably will not happen -- that is, its probably going to take a bit longer.

One thing for sure. We are not waiting 4 months for the country to get back to work again. At some point we are going to get back to sense of normality. IMO, it's about 3 weeks from now in some parts of the country, including Kentucky.

Anything COULD happen but if we are awake and alert the chances of a continuing issue of "shut down" is small.

Not exactly. He said he would LIKE the Country to get going by Easter because of the threat to our entire Economic System.


Now back to the discussion of the Plant reopening. I’m thinking May 1st.

You are so full of BS. Take it to the Political Thread where your misinformation will give a fellow traveler a plumper. Now, any guess when the Plant will reopen? I’m guessing May.

Funny how someone who is driving a v8 Sports Car believes in human caused Globull Warming, but that just adds to the humor around here. Joementia Biden the Groping Pedo thinks it’s real, when he can remember that is.

Leadership ... but not what you think it is. The plant will open, someday.
The Easter Bunny and his wish.

What agenda? Who has planned to "destroy the world economy", and why? ... lol.

Anyone thinking or trying to making this situation political at this point is plainly ignorant about what's going on in the world and why it's happening.

Fact is, the exponential rate of spreading of the virus needs to be taken under control, then life will slowly return back to some level of normal again. If people go around behaving like they always have before this hit, it will never get under control.

WHY? It should be a regional evaluation of data as the days and next week progress. Some GM plants may not have the problem
