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.”

Meanwhile, over at 538 he’s about to go into the red. Right now he’s at 55.9% Disapprove / 40.0% Approve.
That’s a 15.9% D/A spread. He’s going to go below 40% soon, and beyond a fraction of a point, he’s never going to go above it again, and in a few weeks he won’t even have those fractions. The number he should really worry about is his disapproval, which appears headed for 60%. But even with these numbers, there’s no way he can win, and no way he can contest it. He can’t even cheat with these numbers, it would be too obvious and too easily contested in court.

I guess if the Coronavirus is not going to go away anytime soon, beating a few hippies will keep the Fox News base happy.
TPM: Piece of advice. Don’t.
Isn’t it rather early in the day for him to make a fool of himself?
