President Trump on Thursday ripped Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp for his plan to reopen many of his state’s businesses on Friday, declaring, “I am not happy about Brian Kemp.”
“I want the states to open more than he does. But I do not like at this early stage. I wasn’t happy with it, or with Brian Kemp,” Trump said of the Republican governor at the daily briefing of the Coronavirus Task Force at the White House.
The president initially supported Kemp’s move, but lashed out at him at Wednesday’s briefing over his reopening of such businesses as hair salons and tattoo parlors.

Ok... so President Trump pushed hard to get the nation reopened quickly... and now is beginning to backpedal. What is going on? I have yet to see a single piece of data that has changed in a negative way that would cause such a significant shift. Something is amiss...
Fake news by liberal opinionist, Bob Fredericks. There was no blast.
*bash
A ploy is my best guess. Look over there, dinosaur media.
Face palm.
Are you bloody kidding me?
Mister Trump is fast heading to a big defeat in November. He’s really gone and lost his mind.
He’s not backpedaling. He’s set guidelines and Kemp is in gross violation of those guidelines. Kemp himself would be responsible if there’s a flare-up in his state.
There was no blast.
Did you listen to the briefing? I did. And I considered it a blast - well before I read this article. I was shocked, actually, at how hostile Trump sounded toward Brian Kemp.
“I don’t support Brian Kemp.” He said that twice, with a harsh tone of voice. Not even calling him “Gov. Kemp.”
Kemp seems to have done something to anger Trump. Maybe Trump was expecting Kemp to reverse his policy after Trump criticized it yesterday, and when Kemp said he wasn’t reversing it pushed Trump’s buttons.
Can a direct quote be “fake news”. This is what happens when you listen to a sex pervert joke such as Fauxchi.
Eight Reasons to Support Reopening Our Country

Kemp is in gross violation of those guidelines.
Yes, by letting barbers cut average people’s hair.
You notice that the “special” people - I think they’re called “essential” workers like media and political bigwigs - are somehow getting their hair cut.
But opening the barber shops for the rest of us is forbidden.
Incorrect.
The President disagrees with Kemp about the opening of businesses that require close, intimate contact with patrons tomorrow.
He has not changed his position on opening the country up for business in the 3 stages outlined in his team’s proposal.
What Kemp is doing in Stage 1 is a Stage 3 event. President Trump disagrees with that. However, the President also said, that ultimately it is a state’s decision and that the Governors are free to do as they choose. This latter part of the President’s statement IS NEVER MENTIONED by the Fake News Media.
Can’t blame Trump now for deaths after states reopen.
Just remember warmer weather and humidity kills the virus.. The weather is getting warmer and it is good to be outdoors period..
I saw a tweet that said...Everyone....turn off the news and just go outside!!
He is NOT bashing him for opening he is upset that he is not going in the suggested stages I think Trump is worried the good folks of Georgia May get infected and travel into states that ARE following the suggested stages!!
wrong Mr. President.
we need some states to open, not only because the data we have is lousy thanks to gov’t experts (like china and nyc)/and poor testing from the same cooking the data.
but even if we had clean data, we’d still need a few big urban states to reopen early to be our reality check on novel covid. the horrific consequences of staying locked down are already manifesting. for example, hospitals are furloughing vital medical personnel. i thought all of this pain was inflicted to keep the medical system operative.
it’s very likely that all these lockdowns are having zero effect above the normal precautions we all would have taken.
imo, that proposition needs to be tested using our tried and true founders social laboratory of the states.
Who’s cutting the hair of the politicians and medical bigwigs like Fauci? And the reporters who gather with them every day?
The rest of us can’t go barbers, but the elites look quite well-groomed, don’t they?
He did say it at the briefing yesterday. He totally threw Kemp under the bus.
It’s tactical rhetoric. POTUS prefers Doug Collins over suspected insider-trader Kelly Loeffler in this Senate primary. Loeffler supports Kemp. Thus, a criticism of Kemp is a swipe at Loeffler.
