In the comedy that is a Trump press conference, there are the usual lies about how everything will be normal in a few weeks. There was no reference to any shutdown.
It won't be normal till fall at the earliest. It won't be wake up one day and flip a switch especially in travel, hospitality and etc. Anything with groups will be in severe pain for years.

President is on NBC right now.
Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!

Yes he is. He rambles as usual. Biden misspeaks but still at least he’s understandable. Trump is so meandering and hard to understand...

He's not that hard to understand. Try sticking your ear into a radio pull a weak signal from over the pond.

He speaks clear enough.. the words are rambling and incoherent... His answer on did he sell stock which has taken 5 minutes now has made absolutely no sense whatsoever.

From a couple days ago:
When we need something because of the act. When we need something, we order something and as you know, two days ago I invoked the act, which was a big step. I’m not sure that it had been done before, certainly not very much and when we need something, we will use the act. What has happened is before we even go out, many, many companies, great companies, companies in a totally different business are willing to do things and make things because that’s what they do, they make product. They’re willing to make product for us, medical product that we need very badly for the States that the States can’t get, they haven’t been able to get. And you know most of the States in no way did they do anything wrong. They were stocked up, they were all equipped. Unfortunately they’ve never had a thing like this. So they need help from the federal government.

Or:
Well I can just say, the entire world is agreeing with us because, they all have their choice and everybody’s doing the exact same thing. We want to shut it out and we can do that and we’ll see what happens in two weeks and three weeks. But if we can save thousands of lives and even millions of lives potentially, you don’t know where it goes, but you could be talking about millions of lives. So if you look at the the world, I mean you have some very smart people in the world. You have some smart leaders in the world and everybody’s doing it the way we’re doing it. I think we’re doing a better job than hopefully most, if not all, we’re doing a very effective job, but we’ll know better in 14 or 15 days. But you know, you’re talking about hundreds of thousands and maybe more than that numbers of people and you know, we can bring our finances back very quickly. We can’t bring the people back
This isn't up to the standard of a world leader. It's not even worth the $450,000 salary he didn't take.

This Press Conference is the most dumbfounding display of asshattery, but his tan is AMAZING.
