Threaten states/governors from disagreeing with his policies?
The corona virus is about to get indicted. Conspiracy against the United States Donald Trump's re-election.
To plead for his fascist indefinite detainment policies?
Maybe they got tied of Fauci saying unvarnished truths to the public
Ben Wermund @BenjaminEW.@tedcruz calls on Trump to address medical supply shortages by invoking Defense Production Act: "I don't want to see doctors having to make a choice of who gets to live and who has to die because they don't have the equipment to save their lives." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/Sen-Cruz-calls-on-Trump-to-address-medical-15151571.php?utm_campaign=CMS%20Sharing%20Tools%20(Premium)&utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=referral …

Oil execs to Trump: Whose side are you on?
An industry that once enjoyed the president’s favor now cringes when it hears him celebrate low prices for consumers.
www.politico.com
In POLITICO interviews, half a dozen industry officials who have talked with White House officials in recent days described Trump as slow to comprehend the twin body blows a global pandemic and a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia would have on an industry he has long supported. Oil prices at $20 a barrel threaten to rain destruction on an industry that has donated $1.8 million to Trump's re-election campaign and employs hundreds of thousands of people in states key to any hope to beat his eventual Democratic rival for the presidency.
Already, Trump's favorability is quite low in Texas – 45 percent in a University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll from early February, before the coronavirus crisis -- compared to other predominantly Republican states, and he similarly lags in next-door New Mexico, a Democratic-leaning state which he hopes to win.
"The President wants lower gas prices to a point, but this well exceeds that point, and the administration knows this," said Dan Eberhart, CEO of Canary LLC, a Denver-based oil services firm, and a major Republican donor who regularly speaks with senior White House officials. "The bigger worry for the administration from what I understand is helping an industry that consumers think produces fountains of gold. People that have spoken to the White House - myself included - are concerned that the administration doesn't realize that the U.S. oil industry will eventually cease to exist at sub-$30 oil."
A member of the WHCA who's attended four briefings over the last two weeks... has tested positive.
I should've said they feel forced to carry because he may break some big news.

"...half a dozen industry officials who have talked with White House officials in recent days described Trump as slow to comprehend..."
😂😂😂
I guess his stupidity is a problem now.
Welp, gonna be a lot of the press corps in self-quarantine now...
The oil industry needs to get used to low prices. We are rapidly approaching the point where electric cars will be cheaper than ICE cars. The sooner the industry adapts and diversifies the better off they'll be.
Instead of begging for taxpayer money they should be preparing for a future where gas stations are converted into mini power plants to recharge cars and trucks. Reimagine yourselves as energy companies instead of fossil fuel companies and you will survive and thrive. Keep clinging to how things were and you will go the way of Sears and Blockbuster.

They didn't give a shit how dumb he was when they just needed his hand to sign their tax cuts. I hope all these C-suite assholes lose jobs and their wealth

You're going to see about a week of Red states trying to dunk on states that continue lockdown for being 'Nanny-state losers" until Bubba dies in his tree blind because hunting season was more important than seeing a doctor.
And we'll all be expected to ignore the idiocy of these assholes out of a misplaced sense of decorum

Bubba is practicing good social distancing in his tree blind.
It's the chili cook off that's gonna kill him.
A website is selling a WHO coronavirus vaccine for five dollars. There is no vaccine at present.
Especially since it's gonna keep getting worse a couple of months from now. And people blame the president (rightly or wrongly) no matter what.
Never been in a solo tree blind, but I always assumed those things were the redneck equivalent of Las Vegas: what happens between two grown men waiting to kill an animal, stays between them. FOREVER
Man dies after self-medicating with chloroquine phosphate
PSA: Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are not approved for coronavirus.

"A man has died and his wife is under critical care after the couple, both in their 60s, ingested chloroquine phosphate," one of the anti-malaria drugs that President Trump has mentioned in recent days, according to Banner Health, the hospital system that treated both patients.
Yup, I really need this to happen for the sake of cities like Houston whose economies are so dependent on the price of oil.
Cable news should cancel the Trump Show

Holy shit...
It's more efficient to have skin-to-skin contact and a flask of peppermint schnapps. Or so I heard...

My wife tells me you need a prescription to get this stuff, wonder how they did it?
If anything what's notable is how small a bump Trump is getting.
It's pretty boring most of the time, but you rarely stay more than a few hours. Deer are crepuscular to feed and migratory in their small range during the day. Extremely predictable animals. If you have a buddy or not, you spend most of the time on slow ass rural 4G surfing the web.
Wait, what happened to speedrunning it?
Also, wouldn't it be nice to be in the EU right now? Where if your country gets overwhelmed, you have a pool of resources to pull from...

This is a trend that I sadly see continuing.
