It wouldn’t surprise me at all if mask mandates came back in certain places. Especially if the CDC recommends it. New Jersey’s governor Murphy has a certain type of dream about reinstituting mandates. With some of these states in the northeast, it would be a race to see who could do it first. Like being the first to comment in a you tube video.
Yea yea Trump. The whole time libs were calling that too drastic. But your right Trump wasn’t at the airport to oversee the operations. What did they ever due without him telling them.
“In any case, the decision appeared to confound even leaders of the British government and former U.S. homeland security officials, who said that scientific evidence did not support travel restrictions.
Critics of the ban said travel restrictions — such as those imposed on China early in the crisis — no longer make sense given that coronavirus is now global. The energy and resources on the closures would be better spent on expanding U.S. hospital capacity, some experts said.”
He Closed it when people were telling him not too.
"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was one of a number of top Democrats to rip into President Trump’s decision to expand the travel ban to include six more countries on Friday – with Pelosi describing it as “discrimination disguised as policy.”
“The Trump administration’s expansion of its outrageous, un-American travel ban threatens our security, our values and the rule of law," she said in a statement. “The sweeping rule, barring more than 350 million individuals from predominantly African nations from traveling to the United States, is discrimination disguised as policy.”
The first one makes my point exactly- he delayed closing down travel until after the virus arrived from Europe (it had been raging in Italy for weeks and he did nothing, and did it in such a ham-handed way he caught all the agencies off guard- leading to the huge airport crowds we saw. Hell the order was so confusing no one knew if it included the UK at first).
The second one you bring up had nothing to do with COVID- it was an extension of his ridiculous “Muslim travel ban until we can find out ‘what the hell is going on’” and did nothing to make us safer from terrorism…it was simply part of Stephen Miller’s xenophobia.
