'I Think We're in a Good Place': Trump Says He Disagrees With Top Expert Fauci - News18
The United States has fared poorly in its handling of the pandemic, with more than 130,000 people losing their lives, the highest death toll in the world by far.

And this just three days ago. The leader of the free world, us, is the coronavirus leader of the free world with a leader who fiddles while we burn.
His focus, and the focus of his puppets and adherents, is his re-election. And, his driving force, is not the lives and safety of Americans, but the economy that he views as critical to his re-election. His cry, echoed by subservient Republican governors like in Florida, is "Reopen our schools!" "Our beautiful kids must have their educations, and their sacrificing parents must be permitted to return to work," or words to that effect.
And why? For their education? No, for the economy stupid! We need the buses running, using gasoline, parents taking the kids to school, using gasoline, parents returning to work, buying cars and using gasoline and eating lunch in restaurants, and buying new clothes for work and clothes for school. In short, IT'S TO BOOST THE ECONOMY TO HELP TRUMP'S RE-ELECTION EFFORT.
And, there is more very bad economic news for Trump. College football, and probably the NFL as well, is on the verge of shutting down for the 2020 season. And college basketball could well be next. Try calculating the cost to the American economy if that happens. I guess Trump could try to force them to play with an executive order or threats to withhold funding to the institutions. We will see.
So really, are we in a good place?
