Trump says Thunderbirds, Blue Angels will do flyovers across country to honor medical workers
Fox News ^ | April 23 2020 | Tyler Olson

Posted on 04/23/2020 6:42:40 AM PDT by knighthawk

In the coronavirus task force briefing Wednesday, President Trump said that the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels and the Air Force's Thunderbirds would be doing flyovers of major American cities in honor of "American medical workers" — and that on July Fourth he would bring back the Independence Day celebration held last year on the National Mall.

"I'm excited to announce that in the coming weeks, the Air Force Thunderbirds – are incredible – and the Navy Blue Angels, equally incredible, will be performing air shows over America's major cities," Trump said. "What we're doing is we're paying tribute to our front line health care workers confronting COVID. And it's really a signal to all Americans to remain vigilant during the outbreak. This is a tribute to them, to our warriors. Because they are equal warriors to those incredible pilots and all of the fighters that we have for the more traditional fights that we win and we win."

Trump did not say which cities the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels, the U.S. military's two top flight demonstration teams dedicated to showcasing America's air prowess, would be visiting. He mentioned that they could fly over "some of the cities that aren't major cities" as well.

Dumb! Open America up. People that lost their businesses are going to get sick of hearing those that still have their jobs are the heroes.

They practice two days a week at NAS Pensacola and admission is free

Talk to your governor.

Wish I could. He's gone into hiding in some bunker someplace. Calls to his office are being rerouted to the Dept. of Health.

Cheering for medical workers is understandable now and politically easy. But a decision on when we get back to business should not be delegated to them. They are seldom laid-off. They will be biased in favor of avoiding risk, close-downs, and letting governments try to meet needs by printing money or confiscating property.

I am not going to second guess Trump on political theater because everyone who has tried to has gotten it wrong.

There is a certain bread and circuses aspect to this, however [it did work for the Roman Emperors I would just note].

Interestingly, we are opening up a good bit in Georgia this week. Going to the gym tomorrow and to get a hair cut. Then eat at a local restaurant on Monday. If, and it’s a big if, Kemp doesn’t cave now that Trump has fed him to the wolves.

Why don’t US Marshals make arrests all over the country to celebrate the end of the Deep State coup? That’s a display of power I could support.
