Didn't Trump say that it was up to the States but they wanted to lock down or not?

Yes. Feds deferred to the states. DeWine went off the deep end with such power.

The Hill… still trying to incite internecine war within Republican ranks.

Don’t be gullible and fall for it, FReepers.

he claimed that one of his biggest regrets in office is not speaking out “much louder” against the initial COVID-19 shutdown in March 2020.

A little late now.

The truth is DeSantis did impose some restrictions during the March-May 2020 time frame. Also, he allowed local municipalities in Florida to impose their own rules, which is why we saw most public places such as businesses but also parks and playgrounds closed for months in south Florida.

I do believe that is accurate.

DeSantis just fumbled the ball here and lost the game.

He should stand by his decision and explain why he made it. If I was in his shoes I never would have shut anything down in my state, but I can accept a “wrong” decision made by someone else in the same position who had limited information to work with.

This guy just came out as a political hack, and he clearly knows that he has no credibility today when he runs around acting like the white knight standing up for freedom and liberty in Florida.

For all her flaws, the only governor who refused to shut anything down during the COVID fiasco was Kristi Noem.

Was that before or after he shut down Florida's economy?

Life is normal in at least my county in Florida. I credit DeSantis and our local authorities.

“Didn’t Trump say that it was up to the States but they wanted to lock down or not?”

Yes. He also called the Governors and asked them to do it, reminding them of all the federal support they would then get. POTUS can’t order them to lockdown, but he can lean heavily and use the bully pulpit. Gov Kemp was publically put on blast by Trump for daring to end the GA lockdown before Fauci approved.

POTUS Trump was fed mostly bad information by traitorous advisors.

I will say, in a Repub state in a Repub county, where masking was not enforced, it was depressing to me that for a long time I would be the only one out and about without a mask. Then for a long time it would be only me and maybe a couple of others.

Then, thank God, at a certain point it was like someone flipped a switch and all (almost all) the masks came off. Its not an issue here. I get the impression from relatives outside the state that they are still having to deal with this fake crisis. I shake my head.

This article is part of the So-and-So-Conservative-Disagreed-with-Trump series to teach us how Trump is not conservative enough.

I'm a huge Trump fan but I will say one thing, in today's dystopian medico-fascist state I don't know if having a germaphobe president is a good idea.

I think that when the deep state intelligence agencies profiled President Trump they knew that a scam Demic would be his Achilles’ heel and that it could be used to fool him into allowing them to dismember out economy and enslave us.

President Trump would be wise to turn on the clot-shot "vaccines" as soon as possible.
