That is the first borderline reasonable thing I have heard out of this dumdum's mouth. We'd not be back to normal, but the worst could be over by then.

Trump in Ultimate This Is Fine Mode: "We can expect that by June 1, we will be well on our way to recovery...a lot of great things will be happening."
- Thread starter .Detective.
- Start date
Perhaps some of the Space Force guys can pull double duty.
Unfortunately most of America (or at least, the ones that actually listen to him) only care about hard dates and deadlines.
Trump was using Pence on Friday trying to walk back his reopening date from Easter after Massachusetts Governor Baker literally told Trump "no":

GOP governor breaks with Trump: 'We're not going to be up and running by Easter'
Trump has floated Easter as a target date to relax social distancing guidelines.

He's just going to frustrate people and business who will keep having the rug pulled out from under them, rather than plan on an extended freeze with payments and loans made widely available.
We'll obviously do the opposite of that because we're led by idiots and goons
You nailed it perfectly. Humans, especially those in North America that have lived a cushy lifestyle for generations, arent mentally equipped for uncertainty. They need a focus, a "light at the end of the tunnel" if you will. Just saying "indefinitely" will fill the general public with dread.
Glad the date was adjusted and I hope it's achievable. A lot of people will need to find new jobs.
"I love June, it's the best month of the year and I know many good months, let me tell you. Billions and billions of months."
Constantly moving your dates and deadlines is the worst thing you can do in all scenarios. If you want to talk hopeless and (even more) incompetent, you make it clear that you don't have any idea when something will change. Folks need instructions on how to get to those deadlines, not just a date thrown out into the wind with nothing to back it up.
Has anyone ever watched the episode of the Simpsons where Homer became Trash Commissioner? Trumps campaign and Presidency has completely mirrored it. The U2 cameo was replaced by Kid Rock and Kanye West.
Wow, same birthday and age as me. I'm expecting the same. We could be wrong though, we still haven't had the April heat come and kill the virus! /s
Fauci: "Mr. President, if we continue to aggressively enact and enforce safety measures, the worst of this could be over by June."
Dipshit: "So this is done by June 1st?"
Fauci: "Well no, I'm saying the worst of it could be over by June if we--"
Dipshit: "GREAT JUNE 1ST TWEET IT"
I promise that's how every one of these meetings go.

So we definitely will not be getting better June 1st.
Every time he gives a date, I'm just going to assume it's bullshit and keep pushing out my own internal predictions.

He'll taut the states past their apex as the victory while states still before or at their apex as anomalies that have had bad state responses thanks to governors. Red state governors in May, prepare to be thrown under the Trump Bus like so many loyalists before you. And best of all, red state governors like Florida's will deserve a fair bit of blame for what's to come, so it'll be a winning strategy for Trump to just shift his own share of the blame onto them - his supporters will eat that up no problem.
They won't be thrown under the bus. They'll be called victims to the evil hoarding of the democrat hospitals, or whatever conspiracy theory Trump is spreading at the time to protect himself.
I see the timeline of events as
1) Red state leadership being dumb and not properly preparing for the virus (amplifying the poor federal response)
2) Red states see cases/deaths explode over April/May
3) Red state voters pissed that this was allowed to happen to them, and in many cases rightly blaming governor for help in fucking it up
4) Governors go in self protection mode and say they could've done more with federal supplied tests/respirators/materials
5) Trump throws said governors under the bus
I don't think folks in red states that see their friends and family by the thousands are going to be satisfied with general "it musta been them blue states" when those blue states are hit just as quicker and harder due to population density differences. They're going to want blood, and honestly the truth is all right there unfolding right now - lots of governors and the federal government are fucking this up, and there's going to be a finger pointing war after everything begins to calm down.
This all assumes they have an attachment to reality, though. Friends and family may die, but they'll still be watching the shit out of Fox News.
We'll see.
The fact is we are not returning to normal till majority of the population is vaccinated.
That means we have to have a vaccine ready, mass produced, distributed, then have millions of people be vaccinated.
Can anyone guess what that timeframe is?

next year, they've already begun testing vaccines on humans but it takes a year or longer to monitor them to ensure no long term issues before rolling it out to everyone.
And? Seems like the President changing pandemic targets during a crises is newsworthy no? Let me guess, when he changes it to August in two months you'll also be claiming this isn't really news worthy?
He'll keep moving goalposts and most media will just keep reporting whatever he says every day and doing no analysis of it (beyond occasional surface election horserace comments). Local TV/radio media is the worst for this. They just air his press conferences and then restate what he says, and that's the news!
No, it's newsworthy. It is a worldwide pandemic lol. All I'm saying is that it seems Fauci is at least persuading the mad man. But yeah, Trump has botched this overall from the ramp-up and response.
Has anybody determined whether or not they'll be testing to see if the vaccine will cause an over-sensitization to diseases like SARS?
Guess we'll just have to enjoy it as best as we can my June 1st birthday homies.
By June 1st: "It'll be over by July 4th and we'll have the greatest celebration, the fireworks, everything will be great. Wouldn't we all like that? I think we would, it'll be over by July 4th, believe me."
Trump is like that guy always trying to explain to the loan shark why the payment is coming real soon. Except that the loan shark is America, and 30% of it is ready to reelect him no questions asked.
