U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday he “totally disagrees” with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s phase 1 plans to reopen tattoo parlors, bars, hair salons and other nonessential businesses this week.
Trump said Kemp’s decision violates the phase 1 guidelines the White House announced last week that recommends states wait to ease social distancing restrictions until there’s widespread testing and a low level of community transmission. Trump said he respects Kemp’s right as a governor to make his own decision.

Crap!
And now the media will be complaining that Trump appears to have had a recent haircut.
Too bad. We are done with Fraud and Scarf.
But, is he going to tell them not to open? He may disagree with the choice and of course that comment alone could make the gov temper the opening somewhat.
“Maybe you wait a little bit longer until you get to a phase 2. So do I agree with him? No, but I respect him and I will let him make his decision,” Trump said at a White House press conference. “Would I do that? No ... But I’m going to let him make his decision, but I told him, I totally disagree.”
Sounds reasonable to me.........
I am with the Governor on this one.
Trump said the final decision was with the Governor.
How about forcing Boeing machinists to go and work in confined spaces? You can’t build in a tube that is safe.
Walking the political tightrope.
I’m gonna have to give myself a haircut soon. I’m startin to look like some gol dang hippie.
Luv yuh Trump but, we are done.
The numbers are FUBAR for CCP-19 and the economy, it’s time to get back to work
Sorry mr. President, I’m not with you on this one
I agree with both.
Businesses need to start reopening.
and
This will cause another spike of infections.
As it should be.
I vote with Kemp on this one, Mr. President.
My Governor Kemp is great.
You want to open your business up? - Open it up.
You want to keep your business closed? - Keep it closed.
You want to visit those businesses? - Go ahead.
You want to stay at home? - Stay at home.

Treating free people like free people ... not children.
Trump talked to Gov Kemp yesterday I believe... so he wasn’t blindsided...
Well, the governor is gonna do it just the same. So let’s see who turns out to be right...we NEED to get this damned economy open!
My bet is on this .1 or .2% death rate instead of the 3% we were being told by dim bulbs who had zero idea how widespread it actually was.
Very disappointing because it undermines Kemp. Governors opening things up again need support.
Trump needs to get out there and lead. He’s not doing it.
