President Donald Trump said Friday he was declaring a national emergency -- "two very big words" -- to free up federal resources to combat coronavirus. Speaking in the White House Rose Garden, Trump said the action would "unleash the full power of the federal government." Trump is declaring both national emergency and invoking the Stafford Act, which gives access to additional funding, according to a source familiar with his decision. The national emergency gives access to authorities.

The press conference is brilliant. He made an end run around congress and publically poked nancy pelosi in the eye.

He has the best minds in the country, not politicians, speaking and providing their expertise. I saw presstitutes get literally slapped down A black woman, the protected political species exempt from criticism because she is black, get slapped down very effectively.

Slightly before the market turn, I detected a turn against the hysterical irrationalism turn as well.

When I was out this morning, I did notice a couple of women stocking up. Not just emergency items but carts overflowing with just about everything.

I talked to my Daughter yesterday. She and her family are planning on driving to a cabin they have in a remote area. Her husband has to work but she and the kids will just wait and see for a week or so. They did stock up.

CNN’s Jake Tapper said it was “discordant”. Switched channels immediately.

Trump-hating CNN will never give Trump credit for responding to a crisis.

Don’t care about their pressitutes low opinion of him.

Ok

I think what all those competitor CEOs did live was amazing.

Some of them thanked the President for the honor

Effing Google is in this. The borg wants a piece

I’ve noticed that PTrump brings a bunch of people into his appearances, and it’s amazing

Democrat media hated him from the day he came down the escalator at Trump Tower to announce he was running for President.

I don’t give a rat’s rear end they blame him for this too - when they’ve been wrong about everything.

They’re more of a danger to our country than the coronavirus.

They’re [The Media] more of a danger to our country than the coronavirus.

Agreed. The Dem Party runs a close second.
The Media hates our Country. The Dems are ambivalent, they just have an insatiable lust for power, and don't care if the rest of the Country does well, or bad, as long as they can have the boot on our necks.

Sounds like some mighty fine words were said. But does anyone actually know what Trump’s plan is to combat the coronavirus spread? Words are great, especially when backed up by actions.

When we declared war on Japan after Pearl Harbor did we have a plan to beat them yet?

We came up with one pretty darn quick. The coronavirus has been around for a couple of months and we still don’t seem to have a plan.

Adam Schiff hasn’t leaked anything yet so it’s probably a solid plan and set of goals...
