DONALD J. TRUMP
THE WHITE HOUSE,
March 27, 2020.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Ill be proud to vote for him again
Good on him. Great entertainment watching the open border DEMOCRAT media get the jimjams. Trump can never please these haters.
"Orange Turnip" sounds like something we would hear on CNN.
He has a talking horse that should come along and agree with him soon.
Your with Trump or your with the d-rats at this point.
I would like to see them utilized in order to seal our Borders. We do not (especially now) need large groups entering our Country illegally. Our Medical resources, and all of our resources in general, will already be streatched thin without this added burden on our Country. Time to make it happen. It has all been a lot of talk thus far.
On a Federal Level, the POTUS has the power to impose marital law. Article 1 section 9 of the US Constitution.
(I’m not advocating for martial law.)
I still have many friends in trucking , they stop by and call every chance , lately to get something to eat and a shower,, distribution warehouse are starting to run low on almost everything imported which is more than people believe, plenty of fresh meat but canned stuff , meat and veggies are starting to be rationed, good friend delivered to a Walmart distribution today and barely had 1/2 trailer full ,,, How many canneries are shut down ??? I don’t know,, might be why Trump wants people back to work,, anyway if food starts running low he will need martial law
Since when can the executive branch ban anything by decree? You may not care now, but no be whining when the precedent is used to ban an accessory you do care about.
BTW - Obama wanted to do this, but the DOJ said it lacked the authority.
Bite by bite they'll eat away at all of our rights because folks that aren't directly affected sit on their hands and do nothing.
They pick and choose which laws to obey.
Same here except it's not which laws but ALL laws.
An outsider got in and they ALL panicked like the criminal RICO gangs they are.
Yep. All Trump is asking is to restrict travel and self quarantine if you are in areas hit with severe outbreaks. Yet people are fleeing NY, NJ, and CT anyway to states such as FL and spreading the disease. These people don't care about anybody but themselves.
Self quarantine and restricted travel works. That is how Korea stopped the spread.
Every time Trump tries to be proactive, he is bombarded with a chorus of hate filled DEMOCRATs and their allies in the media telling him he is wrong.
