Game-Changer: Trump Releases Plan to Free Americans Stuck in the House Due to COVID-19

In the two-page letter he outlined to the nation's governor's what their plans are to get America moving again:"In furtherance of this shared goal, my Administration is working to publish new guidelines for State and local policy makers to use in making decisions about maintaining, increasing or relaxing social distancing and other mitigation measures they have put in place.

This is what we envision: Our expanded testing capabilities will quickly enable us to publish criteria, developed in close coordination with the Nation's public health officials and scientists to help classify counties with respect to continued risks posed by the virus. This will incorporate robust surveillance testing, which allows us to monitor the spread of the virus throughout the country. Under these data driven criteria, we will suggest guidelines categorizing counties as high-risk, medium-risk or low-risk.

How will the governors react?  Depends on how Democrat they are and how much pleasure they get out of abusing their power.   Keep in mind we have the worst ruling class in memory.

Second Trump term would be ‘positive’ for economy and financial markets: report

That's a given, because electing any of the Democrats running for President would transform the country into Venezuela.

If President Trump wins a second term, the overall impact would be “positive for the domestic economy and financial markets,” according to a new report from Capital Economics.

“With monetary and fiscal policies remaining loose, or potentially being eased further, the economy is likely to continue running hot,” the report noted. “That is clearly a positive backdrop for financial markets.”

Conrad Black: The inconvenient truth about Trump — he's doing what he said he would

In fact, by the ultimate litmus test of the integrity of holders of high political office, the extent to which his record in office conforms to pre-electoral promises, Trump’s record has been the best of any U.S. president since Calvin Coolidge (1923-1929), who promised, and did, nothing, in the piping days of American isolationism, Prohibition and complete absence of requirements for collateral in borrowing to buy equities. (This was a bi-partisan policy trifecta that eventually gave us Al Capone, Hitler, the Great Depression and the Second World War.)

Trump promised prosperity, tax cuts, renegotiation of disadvantageous trade deals, the annihilation of ISIL, the establishment of a southern border that would control entry to the country, the shaping up of the military, revival of the concept of nuclear non-proliferation regarding Iran and North Korea, withdrawal from the inane and self-punitive Paris Climate accord, a resuscitation of education through non-unionized schools and incentives to the reintroduction of free speech in academia and the end of NATO’s condition as a gang of defenceless freeloaders (such as Canada), generously accepting a military guaranty of their territory by the United States without paying for it.

The fact that he has delivered wholly or partially on all of this is, to borrow a phrase from one of the great charlatans ever elected to U.S. national office, Al Gore, “an inconvenient truth” that the conventional media of the Western world have great difficulty acknowledging. The Canadian media would have to be scrutinized by a veritable Sherlock Holmes to unearth the facts that the United States now has 1.6 million more positions to be filled than unemployed people, that per capita GDP growth has tripled, the economic growth rate is more than three times that of the European Union, more than 50 per cent above the Obama record, and that working- and middle-class income and purchasing power are growing for the first time this millennium.

Of course, if you read the press here and in Europe, you would conclude that Trump is a dolt who never amounted to anything.
