President Trump wouldn’t let go of his desire for governors to reopen their states, despite surges of coronavirus cases nationwide, during his coronavirus briefing on Monday.

During his coronavirus briefing — which took place during his visit to Bioprocess Innovation Center at Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies in Morrisville, North Carolina — Trump shot down the notion that economic recovery could be in jeopardy.

The President once again painted a rosy picture amid the COVID-19 pandemic, despite millions of out-of-work Americans and surging cases in the Sun Belt.

Trump then threw governors under the bus, particularly those he believes “should be opening up states that they are not opening.”
