President Donald Trump defended his handling of the coronavirus pandemic on Sunday at a campaign rally in Carson City, Nevada.
He mocked former Vice President Joe Biden for repeatedly saying that he would follow the advice of scientists regarding public lockdowns and economic shutdowns.
“If I listened totally to the scientists, we would right now have a country that would be in a massive depression,” Trump said.
He noted that the punishing lockdowns fueled the misuse of alcohol and drugs and caused a rise in depression and suicide.
“The cure cannot be worse than the problem itself,” Trump said.
He said that the economic and job numbers were going up “like a rocket ship” after the lockdowns ended.
“I say, you get out there and things are opening up, tell your governor to open up, tell everybody to open up,” Trump said.
He criticized Democrat governors for keeping their states closed, citing New York, Michigan, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. He accused them of doing it for political reasons to hurt his reelection,
“Get the places open, let’s go,” Trump concluded.

And there’s more of us (the common folk) than there are the leftist, globalist elite working out of their spare bedrooms and still collecting comfy paychecks. People just need to VOTE. Even more critical than it was in 2016.
The scientists are no longer independent thinkers when the left hangs the funding carrot over thier head
Truer words were never spoken (or written)!
Fake Science has officially joined Fake News.
Many moons ago, my daughter, a registered nurse, said that if we were gonna get it, we’d get it. Masks were useless and only those with one foot already in the grave had to seriously worry about dying - if they got out for treatment before their lungs locked up.
Jim Henson died of pneumonia because he wasn’t treated, literally, a half day earlier.
Mr. President, perhaps now it would be an opportune time to come out and tell us exactly WHAT the scientists were urging you to do.
And by “scientists”, I mean Fauci.
And by “scientists”, I mean Fauci.
I wouldn’t call this guy a scientist. He is a bureaucratic, pure and simple.
“the advice of scientists regarding public lockdowns and economic shutdowns.”
The advice of these scientists cannot be scientific. Epidemiology is not the study of public policy, and public policy decisions are based on far more than just disease statistics.
Well I certainly wouldn’t call him a doctor.
But he is the source of Lockdown Mania.
