Trump Defends Protests, Says Some Governors Have Gone Too Far

President Donald Trump says some U.S. governors have gone "too far" during the coronavirus pandemic.

Millions of Americans have been asked to stay home from work and school, and to not leave their houses unless they have to. The directives, which began in California in mid-March, have swept the nation. Currently, residents in 42 states, three counties, nine cities, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico are being urged to stay home.

Protestors have taken to the streets in at least 10 states, demanding that governors reopen economies shut down by the pandemic.

"People feel that way, they are allowed to protest," Trump said during a press briefing early Sunday evening.

At this point, the emperor wears no clothes.

"Some have gone too far"? How? Which ones? Specifically, Mr. President. Put your money where your mouth is and stop speaking in word salad so people can fill in the blanks however they think you mean so you have deniability.

"I watched the protest and they were all six feet apart." Which protest... cause there's more than one... and I have yet to see a picture where they are all six feet apart... or if even a fraction of them are six feet apart.

"Some of the things that have happened are maybe not so appropriate." LIKE WHAT?! This nonsensical word salad DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING unless you SAY WHAT YOU MEAN. More vague fill in the blanks so the President can deny saying something and people can then fill in the blanks.

When these people start getting sick and dying from their poor choices... and the President stoked this fire, their lives will be directly his responsibility.
