Agreeing with Kemp's decision would require Trump to take a stand that will share responsibility for the outcome. Responsibility isn't a chance Trump is willing to take.
more left wing bullshit. He left the reopening decisions to the governors where it should be since each state is different. If he had mandated that all states open at the same time you assholes would have called him a dictator.
you libs are the most disingenuous people on the planet. All you have is lies and hate. you are pathetic.
So you believe that if the virus is raging in Louisiana for instance...that Mississippi is safe?
The virus can't cross state lines or county lines?
Oh....
of course not, but its not "raging" anywhere, the infection rates are down world wide. But if you are scared, you are free to stay in your bunker and eat worms.
What's the Trump line for today? Is Kemp right or wrong, according to Trump?
What about Polis?
What about him?
He did the same thing and the media only asked about Georgia. Media is so biased.
Kemp made the news because Trump criticized the Georgia reopening. Did Trump do the same for Polis?
He was only asked about Georgia, not Colorado. Did you even watch the press conference?
See my edit.
No. What Edit? He "criticized" because he was asked about it. Not the other way around.
The media prevented Trump from addressing Colorado's plans to reopen? Is to laugh, comrade.
He was probably asked about Georgia's high-profile reopening because of his LIBERATE tweets a couple of days prior.
BTW, no I didn't watch the press conference. I get tired of hearing how good the economy used to be.
Reporter specifically asked about Georgia. Deflect all you want, Pedro. If you're tired then don't listen.
And you thought that was evil, and indicative of bias? That's goofy, weakling.
Not evil but indicative of bias for sure. You didn't, Rodrigo? Want to arm wrestle?
No, I didn't. The plans to reopen were different, as Colorado won't allow personal care businesses to reopen until May 1, while Georgia allowed such businesses to reopen on April 24. Were there any other governors he wasn't asked about?
I think you're reaching too hard. "But he didn't ask about Polis!" Dude. Your Polis question is a deflection from Trump giving Kemp whiplash before throwing him under the bus.
May 1...so in a few days? LOL
My point is the media leans very left and you are being disingenuous if you discount that. Sorry, Jose.
Your point is aimed at avoiding the point (of the OP). They asked about the State that was opening first. They didn't, apparently, ask about the States opening 2nd or 3rd. You're naive if you think you're selling that.
A few days matter? OK
So you think they will ask about CO on May 1st?
First matters.
To the subject of the thread, this is a take from the fairly-conservative Atlanta Journal Constitution. (Before they merged, the Journal was right-leaning, the Constitution was left. Now they hew to balance.)
President Donald Trump said Wednesday he “totally” disagreed with Gov. Brian Kemp’s decision to roll back coronavirus restrictions and allow shuttered businesses such as nail salons and barber shops to reopen this week.

While you're yapping stupidities on the other thread, did it sink in that asking the question of the FIRST state to open is one thing, and asking subsequent states is another thing? It only indicates bias to an idiot.
Triggered. LOL
need a safe space, Enrique?
Still avoiding your ignorance, weak one? And falling back on your 'triggered' nonsense.
Georgia was opening 2 days after that presser, and Colorado was opening 9 days after. Are you so stupid as to think the failure to ask about Polis at the same moment indicated bias? Really?
So 7 days is a big deal now? You pick and choose your talking points.
Do you think it indicates bias? Try to focus.
Yes I do think. So they open in 3 days. Think there will be questions? LOL
"
I'll leave those tea leaves to you. Your point was that Karl didn't ask about Polis, too. Do you believe that lack indicated bias?
That is one example of it. Biden/Kavanaugh is another blatant example, granpa.
To quote some idiot, "You pick and choose your talking points." If you think your Karl/Polis scenario indicates media bias, defend it, don't deflect.
I have. And you will see it play out as CO opens.
You ignore the significance of Georgia reopening first - a week prior to Colorado. If that's it, you defended it unsuccessfully. Sorry you have to pin your hopes on the future.
The way Georgia played out, Trump was unwilling to risk having to share responsibility with Kemp. Ka-thump, ka-thump.
He has said from the beginning that its up to each governor to make those decisions, the federal government will provide whatever resources are needed but the federal government will not dictate to any state, as it should be.
No, not from the beginning. Before admitting that, Trump claimed differently. Once he acknowledged the governors' authority, he had it both ways - tweeting LIBERATE at 3 states continuing stay-at-home orders, and criticizing Kemp for his decision to reopen. As Trumpkins say, 'That's real leadership!'
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump claimed the “total” authority Monday to decide how and when to reopen the economy after weeks of tough social distancing guidelines aimed at fighting the new coronavirus.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump claimed the “total” authority Monday to decide how and when to reopen the economy
“When somebody is president of the United States, the authority is total,” Trump said at the White House. “The governors know that.”
President Donald Trump ended Friday's White House coronavirus daily press briefing with an announcement that he has a "big decision" coming up and that he can only "hope to God" that it will be the right one. The president said the decision as to when to reopen the economy will be the biggest...

"This is by far the biggest decision of my life because I have to say okay, let's go. This is what we're going to do."
The 'biggest decision of his life' was left to others.
He also had multiple calls with the 50 Governors and they came to that consensus. That is a good thing, Pedro.
It was never his authority.
I am not an attorney and that is murky. Likely would have gone to the SCOTUS. Fortunately, it did not come to pass. I reiterate, it is a good thing the Governors are working together, speaking with one another and coordinating with the White House. Not a bad thing.
“When somebody is the president of the United States, the authority is total, and that’s the way it’s got to be. ... It’s total. It’s total. And the governors know that.”
You don't have to be an attorney to know that is Constitutionally unsupportable. The same day he said that, Trump was forced to acknowledge reality when groups of governors in the Northeast and the West Coast said they would work together, without him, to decide when to reopen their states.
If you maintain it was within his authority, you have to concede he left "the biggest decision of his life" to others, and then criticized in both directions.
You're right, cooperation is good. A shame there's not more of it.
