He did it again. Trump gave them enough rope and they hanged themselves.

Led by the selfish bi-, er, witch Nancy Pelosi, there has been non-stop criticism from democrats when Donald Trump began talking of re-opening the country.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi lashed President Donald Trump during a private call with her caucus Monday, saying he was putting Americans in grave danger if he rushes to reopen the economy at the end of this month. Pelosi sharply criticized Trump’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak, telling Democrats it was “almost sinful” how his administration had failed to live up to promises to make testing available to all Americans and quickly address the mask, gown and glove supply shortage in hospitals across the country.

Intentionally left off the criticism is the fact that Trump has been abiding by the advice of Drs. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx.

Keep that in mind

Yesterday Trump unveiled a plan to re-open the country in three phases, carefully and slowly.







WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump and members of the White House coronavirus task force are set to hold a briefing Thursday to discuss the three-phase plan for reopening the country. Watch the briefing live right here. President Trump gave governors a road map Thursday for recovering from the economic pain of the coronavirus pandemic, laying out a phased approach to restoring normal activity in places that have strong testing and are seeing a decrease in COVID-19 cases. “We are not going to open all at once,” Trump said during his Thursday briefing. …

In phase one, for instance, the plan recommends strict social distancing for all people in public. Gatherings larger than 10 people are to be avoided and nonessential travel is discouraged. In phase two, people are encouraged to maximize social distancing where possible and limit gatherings to no more than 50 people unless precautionary measures are taken. Travel could resume. Phase three envisions a return to normalcy for most Americans, with a focus on the identification and isolation of any new infections.

It is a thoughtful and well considered plan and it is based on the recommendations of Fauci and Birx. It gives Governors the discretion to selectively open whatever parts of the states they feel safe with and that meets the guidelines.

I’ve said over and over that I do not give too much attention to what Trump says and watch for what he does. He often says things just to provoke the left into saying stupid things and then undermine them, as he has done here. Wonder why Trump was saying he had “total authority”? Read on. He was chumming the waters.

The left overreacted, as expected. Biden was even more stupid. Someone is giving him some really bad advice. After the President’s briefing- which was arguably the best one so far- Biden joined the morons on CNN for a town hall meeting in which he said this:

"I wouldn't call it a plan," says Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, responding to Pres. Trump's plan to reopen the American economy. "…He's kind of punted. He's decided that he doesn't have the right to make the call for the country." #CNNTownHall pic.twitter.com/KqwBt9jwQv — Anderson Cooper 360° (@AC360) April 17, 2020

It wasn’t a week ago when democrats were screaming that Trump wasn’t a king and didn’t have the authority to open the country.

“The President’s powers are not ‘total,’ ” Susan Low Bloch, a professor of constitutional law at Georgetown Law School, said in an email. “Our government is a government of divided powers. We call it ‘separation of powers’ with ‘checks and balances.’ “

Then out of nowhere Trump, Fauci and Birx present a sensible plan based on Federalism and how does the left respond?

Predictably. The Washington Post:

Trump’s the-buck-stops-with-the-states posture is largely designed to shield himself from blame should there be new outbreaks after states reopen or for other problems, according to several current and former senior administration officials involved in the response who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

Or, as the morons at Raw Story put it:

Donald Trump bails out: From ‘total authority’ to totally passing the buck

You have to remember, this is a plan conceived and endorsed by Fauci and Birx. Criticism and derision of the plan is criticism and derision of them. As I said, Trump has all along abided by their input.

Suddenly, democrats want a king. They want a dictator. Biden looks like an old fool.

Trump once again has their lunch.

In acting calmly and sensibly, Trump has made them eat their words and it has to taste pretty crappy. Being pissed at Trump for doing the right thing is pretty brain dead. Then again, the best interest of the country is not forefront in the liberal mind.
