    Yes there is a huge anti Americanism with the anti Trumpers. They don't seem to accept that he represents a large section of Americans. He is America.

    A minority of Americans who voted you should remember voted for him.

    And stop with the bull**** claim that people who think he's an awful job are anti American, it's utter stupidly.

    Then why isn't Angela Merkel's speeches featured on the media, given that she is more influential to us, than the US president.

    Plenty of discussion of Merkel and Germany's response in the media and on here, you need to dig up.

    Also as for your comment that Trump is America, no.

    There's others leaders to compare Leo to. Why do you pick the worst to compare him with? Plus America has different system to us.

    You know trump is on right now. I wrote I'm glad Leo isn't like him

    Can the governors of the individual states refuse to comply with Trump or will they have no choice in opening up on the 1st of May?

    I would imagine not if they need to access this bank of ventilators in the national stockpile.

    The Governors have the authority. And they're not stupid enough to do what he says.

    Trump will say to his base - "look I tried to open the economy, they wouldn't let me. It's the Democratic Governors fault you are now poor."

    No, the Irish that criticise him. They dislike the myth of his typical voter. They cannot understand why they would vote for Trump.

    It's almost becoming an American racism at this stage here.

    I read that twice and there's nothing in there backing up your claims.

    What were my claims? That elderly deaths went unreported, which the article is exactly about. And that they died without medical care, not hard to imagine given that these elderly people never even got to make it to hospital

    People who dislike trump actually watch this on a nightly basis just to give out about trump? My first and last time watching.

    Uganda saw an increase of 1 new case today bringing their total to 55. Thankfully no deaths have been reported in the African nation.

    The health service of Equatorial Guinea reported 20 new cases today from a previous figure of 21 bringing their total to 41 cases.

    No, you're off the wall to suit your narrative.

    Trump saying

    ''if a state wants to open, but our data says otherwise, I won't allow that state to open''


    Seems fair, he clearly wants to open states that have no problem only, with restrictions

    I went to make a cup of tea and get a midnight snack and he's still working through his list. I mean like, what the Holy fcuk. He must be calling out every American company and business.

    If you ask the governors, they can refuse. If you ask Trump, they can't. One of them is right

    Somehow Trump reminds me of the CJ character in Reginald Perrin, (Fall and Rise of).

    Spain and Italy just let thousands of elderly die alone and with no help in nurshing homes,not even any morphine to ease the pain, and their deaths not even reported. Yeh way better than USA

    USA is not dealing with this crisis any worse than the rest of the Western world

    72 deaths in Florida today, highest so far.

    The states Trump is talking about are run by Republicans who never gave a sh!te anyway like Florida.

    And they are the states particularly in the core who have yet to receive the brunt end of this.

    The states that reopen will get heavily infected and drag this on throughout the summer and into autumn. Its going to be his downfall.

    Trump just stated he is not asking Coumo to open until he's ready, he's speaking of Governors who are clearly asking to open from what he is saying,

    Hes flip flopping all over the place. Hes authorising the reopening even though he has no power but telling them he wants them open if they want to open. While threatening them if they don't

    Having told governers at the height of the crisis that it was their responsibility to manage it, he now wants to swoop in and claim victory for states that have managed it well and can reopen.
