Trump must be doing everything that he’s doing regarding virus stuff for additional reasons. There is no other explanation.

I posted this on the fearbros thread. They are very interesting and fun threads.

Imagine if you will, that President Trump hadn't followed the government doctor's recommendation of 'social distancing ' and quarantine. Every. Single. Death would have been a TRUMP HAS BLOOD ON HIS HANDS moment, and the derps would have rode that talking point to victory in the election.

That's the trick the derps had up their sleeve and how they were gonna play this from the start. The Donald took their plan and flipped it on them, like he always does. Remember, our Donald has a military team advising him. Everything the derps throw at him is strategically countered. This bio attack among them.

Sometimes you have to sacrifice a rook to win the game. Trump took a hit on the economy to win the game. He knows this. You should too, bramps. You do now cause I just told ya.

Now get on the right team.

You’re exactly right about why Trump had no choice but to go with the medical/doctors recommendation. They already think he is dumb/incompetent/anti-science so that would have been like pouring gasoline on a fire. I wouldn’t doubt they would have tried the 25th amendment approach if he hadn’t followed their recommendations.

But he knew full well what he was going to do. What the long-term consequences may be I don’t know but he knew the one thing the Democrats can be counted on to do is spend federal money, and since this would be an intentional shutdown rather than one caused by the business cycle, the economy would recover quickly (ref. his recent comments about how fast the stock market has rebounded). That Wharton School education and years of financial transactions did not create a Potus who is dumb or incompetent.

Nor is he anti-science, as we’ve seen he’s as capable as any of us at reading the HCQ articles and integrated that into his plan. He also knew how the Army Corps and DPA could be used to remove every obstacle or barrier that was thrown up. He has not only used science, but the power of his office to make sure the recommendations were not only followed, but were expedited as quickly as possible.

Because the faster we could show the surge had passed, the sooner he could get the economy going again. Bigger and better than before!

Trump always plays the infinite game. Democrats play for short-term power, Trump plays for the future of the nation.

Dang it. 3 teleconferences, some action items and a nap at lunch distracted me from that thread.

Once POTUS opens the US for business, we will return to the economy we had (reflected in the Stock market) within 6 months. It will be a rocket! Think of it...the DJIA going up 5000 points in 6 months.

Businesses know this. They are itching to get going and from the word Go, it will be WWWest, Jim West and Artemis Gordon included!

I predict the cowards known as Fearpers will quietly climb back on that wagon and hope no one notices.
Oh, but WE will. We have the Flubros thread from beyond the trees.
And the “Fu”bros thread right here.
It will be Biblical...in a King Solomon kinda way.

I think DJT has been very quiet about the CDC’s ineptness..

CDC’s failed coronavirus tests were tainted with coronavirus, feds confirm
A federal investigation found CDC researchers not following protocol.

IMO, DJT had to play for time to

a. handle the real virus, (thanks China)
b. softly allow the financial system to disintegrate
c. prepare for whatever China did and will do.

“yes the gov’t knew Wuhan was doing this virus research”
“we knew the labs were lax”
“the us gov’t was funding the research”

NIH told him:

part of overall 3.7M funding program that went to studying viral diversity in animals, surveying people in bat areas, and conducting lab experiments to see which bat viruses would prove worst
