The President is wiser than many State Governors:

One size does NOT fit all.

Example of a foolish Governor: Maryland's Larry Hogan

Maryland is essentially three states: Panhandle, Central, and Eastern Shore.

The maps clearly show that the pandemic is out of control in Central MD, the other regions are seeing only a few cases. But all restrictions are statewide.

Example of a wiser Governor: Pennsylvania's Tom Wolf

Restrictions were implemented gradually, progressing westward from the "hot zone" along the New Jersey border and areas near Philadelphia International airport. Still not really needed in the northern tier and Appalachians but when a majority of the counties needed restrictions he went statewide.

Telling us we should is not the same as enforcing it with US marshals.

He can tell us to eat only chicken soup and go to bed at 9:00 PM and it is not a violation of the Constitution.

Now when and if he says the above and sends the army to enforce it, a different story.

They teach them that they are the Fourth Estate. Makes them feel all puffed up.

I shudder to think about how pickles would go all out if she had this opportunity.

Hallelujah that she isn’t.

Agree. Federal intervention sets a bad precedence going forward.

For instance, there are states with large areas of mountains, forest or deserts where one can travel for many many miles and not see a soul.

Spot on. Dems plan to foul up economy everywhere foiled. :(

Can you believe it! I am actually reading where conservatives are claiming that Trump is now part of the deep state attempt to take away American’s rights. Mostly these are crazy libertarians . . . Trump is the only man in decades that is trying to protect our rights under the Constitution.

The DNC/ MSM want a National shutdown in the worst way. The economy is in ruins but it’s not enough they want to salt the fields and It has nothing to do with concern with the safety of Americans that’s for sure.

Okay... I guess. You realize there are several counties in PA that have less than 10 cases of COVID-19 and have for some time?

Unlike his predecessor, obambam, President Trump is doing right by the US Constitution and what is right for the country.

By asking the question the so-called journalist is suggesting every state should suffer the same as NY and LA are right now in regards to their loss of freedoms.

It’s an extremely self-centered and selfish position to want that. They might as well say: “my state is hurting so I want all states to hurt”.

This is a good time to be in a fly-over state.

Today/yesterday? he said it would be a good idea for everyone to wear face masks in public. But he also said he thought he would not wear one.

He did NOT say we would be jailed for life if we did not.

I bet the headlines all said something like, “Trump orders blah, blah, blah.”

They dont teach anything useful for sure
They need to teach clear enunciation for all liberal arts majors so they can handle, “Would you like to supersize that order?” clearly and intelligibly

Yep. Iowa Gov. Reynolds is being hounded by the usual libtards to issue stay-at-home orders even though Iowa has as much shut down as any state. Just being polite about it.

Planting season coming up, so there will be even more activity. I’m sure Dems want to shut that down to promote food shortages. That’s what they’re really after.

According to the media, he acted too soon because he didn’t act soon enough

Perfect description!!

Seems like Trump is the only one who doesn’t want the President to be a dictator. You’d never think that based on the “news” over the last 3 years
