    A general thought, not specifically related to Trump to COVID-19;

    Why do you need rallies at all? I understand why politicians (or all side) want them - they're prefect for stirring up their supporters with emotive rhetoric, generating soundbites for the headlines and generally building up the personality cult - but I don't see the benefit to a country or democracy. Maybe this kind of situation might encourage people to consider what is really important.

    At the moment, in this thread, it's someone wishing sickness and death upon Republicans.

    Nice.

    Because I want you to have what y’all are demanding so forcefully? Thats a strange conclusion to jump to...
    Unless you are saying republicans are trying to infect and kill themselves?

    It's been 30 days since he said that...any other shut down is not on the President.

    Why aren't you pushing for reopening and standing against Dem Govs like the ones in Michigan, Cali and NY who are killing people?

    Ya'll?

    I'm not even R and didn't vote for Trump, but I know a death wish upon Republicans when I see one.

    Does he know he can do virtual rally’s?
    Biden’s been doing multiples of them every week “while hiding in his basement”.

    They’re easy to setup plus inexpensive.
    I’m sure your team can set them up for you Don.

    Trump is working much too hard as president during this crises to play at campaign rallies.

    didn't he? --- ok, he used the word "closed"

    "*** In states with evidence of community transmission, bars, restaurants, food courts, gyms, and other indoor and outdoor venues where groups of people congregate should be closed."

    For 30 days....it's been more then 30 days since the CDC said they "should be"

    Why are the Dem Govs still closing them down? and why did they take his "should be" to more then just food courts, bars, gyms and restaurants? Why for example did the Gov of Michigan ban the sell of seed?

    have they met Trump's re-opening guidelines, how about Trump promise to bail out any State the opens for any costs of a second wave if they ignore Trump's own re-open guidelines

    Your own link said it was only for 30 days. It had a deadline.

    Why did the Gov of Michigan ban the sell of seed?

    Trump said for 15 days, then extended it 15 more, then gave reopening guidelines, which states have met Trump's re-open guidelines that have not reopened?

    didn't anyone on the right watch the Trump task force briefings?

    don't know, would have to ask the Gov of Michigan

    why did some Governors close rest stops?

    why did Trump close national parks?

    Mistakes were made by both parties, we need to review this when it over and learn from it

    Your link said 30 days. The Govs have extended them. The president has encouraged safe opening.

    why did the Michigan dem ban the sell of seeds?

    yep and as I asked, what States have not reopened that have met Trump's re-open guidelines?

    maybe Trump need to post a list of States he feels have met his guidelines

    National parks are open.

    rest stops? Because people can be in close contact. Public restrooms are full of potential exposure.

    seeds? Sounds like dems just being their natural fascist selves

    but why did he close them to begin with, they never should have been closed, many of our retired population live in RV's and Van's closing them denied them a place to stay and social distance

    rest stops are needed by Truckers, without them how do you get food and supplies transported?

    as I said, no idea why seeds were banned where you live, seeds should be sold so people could start planting gardens to prepare for food shortages

    like I said, mistakes were made, we need to document them and learn from them as there will be another crisis like this again in the future, lets not repeat them

    To slow the curve and save lives. The models were calling for two million deaths. Trump saved millions of lives

    Unfortuately the dems in places like NYC didn’t listen and many dead unnecessary there.

    many more continue to die in places like Michigan and Cali due to ODs and suck because the Dem Govs won’t let people out

    only some republican States did not listen to Trump's shutdown guidelines, but I think you knew that

    but yes, that was the goal of the shutdown in places like NY, to slow the curve, and NY did benefit from the shutdown

    states with low case counts should have waited to shut down as they did not benefit from it - those states may have already had herd immunity from getting it late last year and thought it was the flu - or they could still get it yet, we do not know yet, only time will tell

    I know republicans do not want to admit the virus could have been here late last year, but I am not so sure
