Rift grows between Trump, health experts amid coronavirus surge

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

As President Donald Trump threatens to cut funding to schools that don't reopen in the fall and continues to host mega-rallies as cases of coronavirus increase, there appears to be a growing rift between the Trump White House and its top health advisers.

The president has taken his criticism of the government's top expert on infectious diseases and of leaders at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention into the public forum in his massive push to reopen the country.

Despite coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx asking Americans in hot spot zones to avoid indoor gatherings and reduce them to 10 people or fewer, Trump on Friday delivered remarks and attended a home fundraiser in Florida as cases there rise -- one day after the state saw a record death toll.

The trip came as Trump seeks to downplay the danger in states like Florida, Arizona, Texas and California struggling to control outbreaks -- which he calls "embers" -- and openly disputes coronavirus task force officials.

1. Expect more firings soon

Dolt45 needs a WIN and they're not giving it to him.

2. Once, just once, I would love to hear a government doctor say...

I went to medical school, internship and residency and do this for a living.

When the president can say that, he can open his big mouth about medicine.

Until then, Mr. President, shut up and get out of the way.

3. Trump is like a three year old who believes if he says it,

it's automatically true. You know, the toddler who denies eating the cookies when he has crumbs all over his mouth.

For Trump, if he says we have this under control and schools must re-open, then that's all required. For him.
