How dire projections, grim images dashed Trump's Easter plan

Published Tuesday, March 31, 2020 2:23AM EDTWASHINGTON -- The two doctors spread out their charts on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.

The confluence of dire warnings and tragic images served to move the president off his hopes for an Easter rebirth for the nation's economy.

The bleak forecasts were carried into the Oval Office by Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx, who displayed to Trump projections that, on the low end, could yield 100,000 American deaths from COVID-19. One model showed that deaths could have soared past 2 million had there been no mitigation measures.

Aides likened Trump's emotional response to his reaction to the 2017 pictures of dead Syrian children that prompted him to give the order for the first air strike of his presidency. Trump also invoked some friends -- he did not identify them -- who he said are battling the virus. For weeks, those in the White House who warned that the doctors' strict recommendations would cripple the economy -- and Trump's reelection chances -- had the president's ear and pushed him toward the idea of restarting business in the states where infections were low.

After speaking with DeSantis, Trump mused to reporters Saturday about a quarantine of New York, as well as parts of New Jersey and Connecticut, blindsiding their governors and raising questions about federal authority.

No Easter Bunny for 45

Trudeau has been full blown negligent when dealing with this virus and yet you spend more time focused on Trump than Trudeau🤔🤔🤔. Trump's done 100x better job. Trudeau sent his wife to the UK in MARCH and as a result is locked up during Canadas biggest crises

That's what happens when you think you know more than experts do. When, rather than follow the advice of your advisors, you fire them for contradicting you or telling you something you don't want to hear because it meant you were wrong.

Sorry ladies...Easter bunnies not coming to the White House this year

Winning? Lol sorry nobody is winning right now, especially orange man and the USA

Far better to have short term goals and then change as needed. People can cope we measured plans. To tell them we might be here for months will tend to leave folks feeling hopeless. So looking between two and three weeks far more helpful when setting goals.

Everyone's Easter plans are modified or cancelled.

It's a miracle somebody got him to listen to science for the moment

Fuk him and his plans

Yet Canada's Prime Minister and Media love lies! [ETHICS]. Proof is here with this tweet.

Nice Try CTV News, Pres Trump stated he'd see after the 15 days. He also said he relies on his team for whether he would open around Easter. The Fake News has got so bad! The media have become no more than like a bunch of idiots asking the dumbest question of no meaning.

He isn’t upset, he is firm. They got the data, showed it to him, he instantly made the call. Data is his specialty, he has a degree in economics ffs.

I'm so proud that we in Canada have strong, intelligent, moral and logical leadership... dont worry usa, only 7 more months to Biden

GODDAM HE'S UGLY

His TV ratings are up.... He is happy.

Our PM has broken numerous laws but he pays you to look the other way... Your time is coming to an end

At least realDonaldTrump had a goal JustinTrudeau the coward of a leader hides in his home...what a clown 🤡

He said it was a goal, not that it was going to happen, and, when it was clear it could not, he readjusted his goal. I really don't see the point of ridiculing it. There has to be a plan to do something. Plan, and adjust. Should he have stuck to the Easter goal?

God bless Potus Trump , I won’t be a sheep and believe the fakenews

Here the actual video

fake news. That’s not what he said.

EASTER is still a plan... you'll see

How a village idiot became president and ruined millions of lives.

It's okay he went from hoax to deaths under 200K as a sign of victory.

Trump extends virus guidelines, braces U.S. for big death tollBracing the nation for a death toll that could exceed 100,000 people, U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday extended restrictive social distancing guidelines through April, bowing to public-health experts who presented him with even more dire projections for the expanding coronavirus pandemic. Too late with the life jackets already been hearing about it before crossing the ocean to Wall St. Media TV. Who votes for excuses & pot shots from a guy that still hasn't found Obama's birth certificate? King of bankruptcy and foreclosures comes every 1000 years. I think in the circumstances Donald Trump is keeping it all together and doing a great job.
