Dear Mr. President,
You've been snookered by the "experts". President Nixon was snookered by the "experts" when they convinced him to order wage and price controls. The "experts" will always give disastrous advice because they rely on models, and no model can yet accurately predict a living system.
Climate models can't predict next year's climate because climate models are based on limited variables and a closed system. The Earth is not a closed system. Nor is the Solar System. We can, at best, guess at future climates and weather based on past experience, but we should always be humble and conservative in our guesses.
Epidemiology models can also be flawed, especially when a disease is not well understood. And if a disease is not well understood, then "expert" predictions must be cautiously considered.
We were spooked by China's response to Covid-19. They quarantined an entire province. We were convinced the disease was like the second coming of the Black Death. So we shut down society and readied our hospitals; we cleared the decks and prepared for action.
However, now we see the disease is not necessarily more deadly than the seasonal flu. Or, perhaps, our initial preparation ameliorated its affect. It is now time to "secure from general quarters", and return to normal. The people know it. The people demand it.
The people don't need "experts" to reopen America. The people already know how to walk, talk, and chew bubble gum. We just need our governments to get out of the way.
Sincerely,
I believe it is time to end the shutdown before the "cure kills the patient"
I have been writing him as well. Don’t know if it does any good, but it should. We, have been snookered by experts, as you say.
I believe it is time to end the shutdown before the “cure kills the patient”
**************
We have yet to see the full effects of the “cure” and the resultant economic dislocation. A wave of bankruptcies is about to appear on the horizon.
Well Capt Obvious,
Great letter...I completely agree! I’ve written to him and expressed similar sentiments, however, you are much more eloquent than I!
Let me also add, I’m very grateful to Governor Kemp for not caving to Trump’s little bullying tactics during last weeks CVTF Briefings! Screw these ridiculous “opening phases!” They are based off of the same flawed models Fauci and Birx used to tell us 2.2 million Americans would going to die of COVID-19!
Hes cornered...he’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t!! He needs PRAYERS!!!
This has been another COUP PLOT!!!
‘This is my latest letter to President Trump.’
write your state governor instead; they control this, not Trump...
At this point Trump needs to hear from us all.
And the tone frankly needs to be a bit angry.
‘Let me also add, I’m very grateful to Governor Kemp for not caving to Trump’s little bullying tactics during last weeks CVTF Briefings!’
yep; crap move by Trump...sounds like he’s got a personal gripe with the governor, and is carrying it over to national policy...
Its time to open the economy in a measured way which is what President Trump has been encouraging.
State and Local governments way over reacted by closing beaches and hiking trails.
But to pretend that Trump was snookered and that this virus is a nothing burger is delusional.
It will pass the normal flu in deaths in a few weeks time.
Restrictions or no, most people aren’t going to be going to bars or restaurants or sporting events for a long time.

....
My sentiments as well! Putting that out there for the Fake News he hates made zero sense, and he did it two different times!
At this point Trump needs to hear from us all.
And the tone frankly needs to be a bit angry.
....
Amen!
Dear President Trump,
Because FReepers are smarter than you!
FFS,
Everybody
Wearing him down I suspect. He’s only human so mistakes will get made.
Wonder how many of us could handle the constant barrage of shiite on a daily basis without wearing down.
Yes. He's carefully trying to navigate his way through the many traps that our enemies have laid for him. Under the circumstances, he's doing quite well. It's important that he is reelected. Can one say, "Supreme Court"?
“before the “cure kills the patient””
This is a matter of opinion, but I think the patient is dead. Gone. We have no means to enforce our liberties any more.
The nation is full of those that don’t want liberties, they want big screen TVs and drama. Until a real existential threat comes along, and this dramabug ain’t it, the situation isn’t going to change. It is now every man for himself because those you thought were with you ain’t. They are for themselves.
As I said many years ago and still say today, wait until the dust settles and see who is left standing with you because you will find those you thought were your brothers in liberty never were.

....
Oh, the pressure must be intense no doubt it!
I really think he needs to get a away from Fauci and Birx and maybe do on a little tour around the nation and really see what Americans are going through under this shutdown without the filter of those two imbecilic doctors translating everything for him!
“Dear Mr. President, You’ve been snookered by the “experts”. “
Don’t sell President Trump short. BIG mistake! He is crazy like a fox. Do NOT assume the worst. If you do, you’ll be the one who gets “snookered”.
You’ve been snookered by the “experts”.
Why would anyone want to re-elect a president who was “snookered by the experts”?
Seriously, did you think this out before you wrote that?
Working for Biden Campaign?
Cause that is the only explanation
I do believe a majority of this will be blamed on Trump and we will lose big in November, I hope I am wrong but the ‘rats have the upper hand through this and of course they have a media running interference so they are all well protected.
This Virus was the ‘rat virus, not a bat virus.
No, you’re not really thinking very well.
Trump was not “snookered.”
He was acting according to his careful evaluation of options and possible scenarios.
