The president’s ceasefire lasted just one day. On Thursday night, Trump said it was up to U.S. governors to decide for themselves when their states would open their respective businesses and publics. The Trump administration offered some nonbinding guidelines for states to comply with. The spirit of consensus characterized Trump’s dialogue with the country’s politicians.
But already on Friday It was the softest tone that faded. On Twitter, Trump came out and campaigned for right-wing protesters seeking to compel state governments to abolish the restrictions imposed to try to stop the spread of the infection, which has already damaged more than 32,000 American lives.
It also carried out a direct attack on Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York, where more than 12,000 people died as a result of the infection.
Trump’s violent rhetoric echoes in a country in deep economic and social crisis. More than 22 million Americans have registered as unemployed in the past four weeks.

On Friday, Trump chose to incite protesters. On Twitter, he wrote “REMOVE MICHIGAN”, “RELEASE MINNESOTA”, etc. During a press conference at the White House, the president expressed sympathy for the protesters and undermined the governors’ order of “social distance.”
Several Democratic governors warned that Trump’s words could result in “illegal and dangerous acts.” Jay Inslee, governor of the state of Washington, said Trump risks leading millions of people directly to the infection by feasting on protesters, who have gathered in large groups. Inslee fears that Trump’s Twitter messages could lead to violence.

Many protesters are explicit supporters of Trump. In Michigan, they wore Trump banners and shouted that Governor Gretchen Whitmer, whom Trump previously criticized, should be “locked up,” words that Trump and his supporters often pointed to Hillary Clinton during the last election.
Several state politicians appear to be impressed by the protesters and the support Trump has shown them. Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott announces that the state of the state will gradually open its businesses beginning Friday next week.

The epicenter of it The crown crisis in the United States is still New York, where hospitals are overloaded and where doctors say they lack the necessary protective equipment. The death curve does not seem to level off as state politicians expected. Hundreds of people die every day.

Governor Andrew Cuomo and Trump have struggled through the media in the past, but have also been able to reconcile. However, on Saturday night, Swedish time, Trump attacked while Cuomo held one of his daily press conferences.
“Governor Cuomo should spend more time acting and less time complaining,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “We built thousands of hospital beds you didn’t need or use, we provided a lot of respirators you should have had, and we helped you with testing. We’ve given New York a lot more money, aid and equipment than any other state, and the amazing men and women who did the work should never say thanks. “
Cuomo urged Trump to “turn off the television and start working for him.” The governor wondered what kind of gratitude speech Trump is waiting for.
