Trump in the Axios interview:
President Donald J. Trump: (04:14) - Then all of a sudden, the game changed, and I had to close it down. I closed down the greatest economy ever in history.
Jonathan Swan: (04:21) - I-
President Donald J. Trump: (04:21)-Well, wait. And then, I closed it down
So - I didn't close down anything - and as I was explaining when this happened BACK IN MARCH - these orders were coming from the WHITEHOUSE. I used to work for a 4-star command on the senior staff and I know how this works when it comes to states and the FEDS dealing with disaster declarations. I saw the COVID Whitehouse plan and Phase 2C and page 22 and read the wording - and I knew what it meant.
And now Trump himself says and admits "I CLOSED IT DOWN"
But you all STILL will blame someone else. So - you get over it.
Where did I mention Trump?
And did he close it down? How?
Ignore what he says, and watch what he does. He’s a politician.
