White House aiming for Trump pivot from virus to economy
Associated Press ^ | 4/26/2020 | ZEKE MILLER

After two months of frantic response to the coronavirus, the White House is planning to shift President Donald Trump’s public focus to the burgeoning efforts aimed at easing the economic devastation caused by the pandemic.

Days after he publicly mused that scientists should explore the injection of toxic disinfectants as a potential virus cure, Trump has now rejected the utility of his daily task force briefings, where he has time and again clashed with scientific experts. Trump’s aides are aiming to move the president onto more familiar — and safer, they hope — ground: talking up the economy, in tighter controlled settings.

As per Wikipedia:

“Zeke Miller reported on Jan, 20, 2017 that President Trump had removed the bust statue of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. from the Oval Office. The news went viral. It was false, and Zeke offered an apology on Twitter.”

About time he stops listening to the hysterical frightened old women like Fauci and Birx. Flatten the curve.. yes. Done. Now it’s time to return to reality. You can’t eliminate all possible risk, and we cannot afford to keep a quarter of the working population (and growing) out of work or we risk having no economy and thus no first world health care.

A famine will kill far more people than the Beer Flu. Intentionally tamping down the economy in the current irrational manner will lead to an American Holodomor.

I think there is libel going on here, and at other networks too.
Time for the lawsuits to begin.
This cannot be allowed.

I totally agree with you. End this nonsense and focus entirely on getting the economy up and running and people back to work.

Jim Acosta is a scientific expert?

The AssPress is worse than CNN, I’ve never seen them write a fair story involving President Trump, the interject venom and opinion in every story they post and many local newspapers and TV stations carry their trash.

Funny, I didn’t know the building had come to life in the first place. Now I find out it’s telling President Trump what to do?

I agree that he’s got to get off the virus stuff and start looking ahead and being the positive Trump. He’s not going to be reelected otherwise.

He’s got to project positivity and hope and optimism, ignore whatever mistakes were made (such as the shutdown, which was a massive mistake) and move on - fast.
