The call, one of a series with various sectors on Wednesday, was the first task force teleconference aimed at devising a strategy for reopening the country. The call lasted for about an hour and had dozens of participants from the banking, food, hospitality and retail sectors, many of whom lauded the President and his administration for their efforts to combat coronavirus and jump-start the economy, this person said.
Trump pushing for sport back, governors and science say it's not a good idea 02:06It began, like so much in the Trump era, on Twitter."I think we need a 2nd task force assembled at direction of POTUS to look ahead to reopening of the economy," wrote Dana Perino, the Fox News host and press secretary to President George W. Bush, two Saturdays ago. "Good idea Dana!" Trump replied.
Trump praised China's response to pandemic in past remarks 01:58Convening such a group met several hurdles, including questions of how legally executives from the private sector could be involved in government decision-making. Some outside figures were also hesitant to join the precarious endeavor to reopen the country, though many business officials have told the White House they agree it should happen soon.
I bet his fat butt was twitching on that bit of reality!😳 Who will pay for tests and how often would workers be tested or screened? There will be untested, infected folk in the mix mingling in the malls, grocery stores, elevators, bars, gyms, salons and on neighborhood corners.
Oh its ramping up. 30 more days and it will really ramped. Also the capacity is there now and ability to surge.
True Leader!!!
I don't think that USA can return to the initial situation of economy, China did, yeah it's china
Coronavirus Who is going to hold Trump accountable for making Americans sick again. Dems held him accountable for betraying Americans but Barr and GOPP held him above law, enabling him afresh to bully, investing him with power to murder Americans enmasse
Faking news not breaking
Trump would've probably whispered to them: 'Be prepared to sacrifice a portion of your people for the good of the election and your profitability under my watch.'
Idiot
I'm old enough to remember his Manufacturing Council was abandoned by CEOs in 2017.
One day some governors talk about opening there state, and that’s ok by you,trump talks about it and he’s ludicrous .kind of wishy washy news.
CNN is completely untrustworthy at this point.
Wanta bet he doesn’t go forward with that! WhiteHouse KellyannePolls RichardGrenell realDonaldTrump VP
Trump's philosophy: When there's danger, I stand behind you. 'We are the backup. I don't take responsibility at all.' When there's profit, I stand ahead of you. 'I alone can fix it.'
Meanwhile I’m working my ass off while unemployment is paying out more to people for not working than they even make in a month. So glad I’m essential.
“Anyone that wants a test can get one”. How long ago was that?
They have kept us in the house for almost two months now. Let’s go with the testing. Each town should have enough now. If u test positive u get two weeks in the HILTON or MARRIOTT all meals and health care paid for. Upon removal u get $1000 reward doing it
🤔
False
That's makes sense... so naturally Trump is against it.
I Bet he Forgot what the Governor's Said
It is up to the Governors and state officials to handle their own state’s testing. He plainly stated that he will support whatever they need. Have you talked to your state officials to see what they need or what you need? That is why we have local government
ZZBolinski Is this why he’s throwing a temper tantrum at the Coronavirus briefing today?
Fake news No one used the words ”guarantee“
Train the president, to be smarter with coronavirus, Trump university, never delivery medecine diploma! Sorry Donald!
What's a guarantee from this deadbeat worth?
And what did dumbshit say? Everyone who wants a test can get one? nOT!
I cannot believe you are not televising the Covid-19 Task Force briefing. So turning to Fox.
Why isn’t CNN broadcasting Trumps new conference today?
Meanwhile in Arkansas
God Bless The Industry Leaders!!! Tanya Kujath
Would you send your children to school without having, teachers, admin, cafeteria workers, janitors, tested and then temps taken daily, even children temps should be taken prior to riding bus or dropping off.

Business Council You mean the daughter, the son in law and some old white cronies? What a joke!
America’s loser , Donald Trump. Doompa Dee Doo.
Tony201713 Donald can proclaim the country is open. Doesn't mean we have to oblige. It's still a free country - last I checked.
Good I agree!! its to early to go back to work!!
Maybe now it'll become a priority.
Another call Contradicting News Network probably wasn’t supposed to be on again
57 million viewers and only 1k likes? P U
Did he say' That’s a nasty thing to say, you’re a third rate hack, and you’re fake industry'. Or .....
HELLO INDUSTRY LEADERS... TRUMPY DUMPY, RODEO CLOWN/POTUS, ROLLS AROUND IN BARRELS & 'REAL COWBOYS/GOVERNORS' DO HEAVY LIFTING & TAKE RISKS ON THE WILD RIDE GETTING JOB DONE. TRUMPY TOO SCARED, INCOMPETENT FOR REAL RESPONSIBILITY!!!🙄🤔😟😬🥴🤡
Trump Delays on Tests will hold back people leaving their home. TrumpLiesPeopleDie
Good for you businessmen! Make him do something to ensure that if opens too soon and too fast we will be looking at a bigger problem. Yes, it would be great for us all to get back to work but do it smartly.
Gosh, Donny, even business leaders get it — along with governors, health experts, and everyone else with a brain. Oh, wait, never mind, silly me — I just answered my own question as to why you don’t get it?
PeopleOverProfits
Tell the 'Business Council' they can PHUK OFF. Is this the 'business council' which includes IvankaTrump 👹🐷💄💀 and her very recently acquired patent for COFFINS?

Happy that some CEO’s have common sense.
Hd'll get right on ordering swabs from CHINA! America can't handle swabs & test tubes!
That is why manufacturers are working as fast as they can to produce.
Trump then cried and tried to fire all those industry leaders.
industry leaders, whistleblowers, confidential sources, the scientific community, leading experts. Nonspecific BS from a FakeNews network.
Wonder how he took that.
I can just imagine Trump's response...belligerent incoherent then Ivanka turns off the mike.
Well that ain’t happening under his watch
I'm sure he did not listen.
