Coronavirus digest: Biden rejects Trump plan to lift US travel bans
Deutsche Welle ^ | 01.19.2021

US President Donald Trump on Monday rescinded entry bans imposed because of the coronavirus pandemic on most non-US citizens arriving from Brazil, the United Kingdom and all European Union countries. The new travel guidelines will come into effect as of January 26, the White House said in a statement.

The alleviation of the ban may not last long enough for it to be implemented, though. President-elect Joe Biden gave the notion short shrift.

His spokeswoman said the new administration, set to assume office on Wednesday, “does not intend to lift these restrictions.” Jen Psaki tweeted: “In fact, we plan to strengthen public health measures around international travel in order to further mitigate the spread of COVID-19.” …

If this was reverse psychology, it worked very well. Biden will learn very quickly that no matter what his protestations, the buck stops at his desk. Even The One lost his Congressional majorities after his *first* mid term election.

Biden won’t be the exception, if he continues strangling the economy, and any number of small businesses and the jobs they provide, over his personal obsessions and out-of-control fear. They called the Donald a compulsive germophobe. Not if his large-scale rallies are anything to go by. Whereas we *know* Biden is a germophobe, given his reluctance to emerge from his bunker, despite the fact that both he and Trump are in the same age bracket.

As the flow of money in the U.S. economy slows, Americans will not be able to afford air travel and cruise ships. The domino effect will be substantial.

“Only illegal aliens may travel to the US,” stated the fake-president.

But I thought he was going to immediately lift the travel bans on terrorist countries and open our southern border.

I suspect this is part of the reason Trump did this.

President Trump’s next move should be to pardon every “guest” staying at the DC Department of Corrections.

I’ve said this about the rental property business, and I think it also applies to the transportation businesses. Some group/s of billionaires and large companies are waiting for the fireside sales to pluck up real estate and businesses once they go into bankruptcy.

But he’s open the border to hell hole central American and Muslim countries. So basically Biden is just prejudice against White Europeans and Brazilians.
