Maybe not.
If the “foolish virgins” ( from the Bible) of New York continue to hold down their economy to spite Trump, they may end up cutting their noses to spite their face.
If the millions of restaurants and other small businesses in New York continue to stay closed is that going to do serious damage to Texas? Nope. Businesses in Texas will simply source their supplies etc from within Texas and other red states that are open for business. Texas will continue to prosper even as Cuomo and DeBlasio bring a once great state to it's knees.

The north east coalition of states announced by the arrogant governor Cuomo is the beginning of this. The dope from park slope mayor deblasio is now threatening not to open unless he gets a 7 billion bail out. Why don’t he just ask is so called wife who stole 850 million for the mental health initiative she knows nothing about. Trump ruffled Cuomo’s feathers when he said we will all open on may 1st trump knew the law, but Cuomo took the bait and at a briefing told trump he doesn’t have the authority to do this the governors do. Now the ball is in their court, not trumps fault

Absolutely.

Obama was big on punishing his enemies.

It’s time for Trump to do the same.

No one except the 5% perennial lefty nutcases would even think of blaming the President for the economy given what was the cause for the turn down.

They are not blaming President Trump for the economy per se but they are blaming him for not acting on the pandemic sooner which they say caused more deaths and then crashed the eonomy. I know it doesn't make sense but that is their angle.

VERY sophisticated criminals will always find a point to attack/exploit and get away with “plausible deniability” to go on to the next lie/crime.

PDJT has several aces up his sleeves. If the Governor/s refuse to open certain businesses PDJT can order those businesses to open using both the Defense Production Act, or the Commerce clause of the constitution.

By claiming that the businesses are interstate commerce, or effect interstate commerce, (Wilburn, (sic), the wheat farmer case from 1942 that got an unanimous USSC decision), which the businesses will happily comply with while the Governor fights it through the courts.

There are always some who will blame him, I do not question that but the record is very clear that even at the time Trump stopped travel from China his own Medical experts AND the now discredited WHO were saying there was no serious problem.

These statements are all on the record and can easily be brought out and publicly aired as needed.
