Republicans are the party of the rich and other special interests. They are owned by billionaires who use lobbyists to buy votes. One Republican Governor is questioning Trump’s messaging and his proposals to lessen the spread of the coronavirus.

Maryland’s Governor, Larry Hogan, is calling Trump’s daily briefings “confusing.”

On Monday Governor Hogan ordered all non-essential businesses in his state to close and told everyone to stay inside their homes whenever possible. However, the messages from governors and our failing federal government frequently conflict.

“They don’t really match, quite frankly. Some of the messaging is pretty confusing and it’s not just that it doesn’t match with what we’re doing here in Maryland, some of the messaging coming out of the [Trump] administration doesn’t match,” Hogan said.

On the same day Trump promised that businesses would reopen soon: in direct conflict to Doctor Anthony Fauci.

“We’re just trying to take the best advice we can from the scientists and all the experts, and making the decisions that we believe are necessary for our state,” Hogan said. “We don’t think that we’re going to be in any way ready to be out of this in five or six days or so, or whenever this 15 days is up from the time they started this imaginary clock,” he noted.

“Most people think that we are weeks away from the peak, if not months,” Hogan added. “And that’s the advice we’re getting from the smart folks at John Hopkins and NIH [National Institutes of Health] and University of Maryland and places like that.”

Trump is getting his advice from his clone, son-in-law Jared Kushner. Kushner has no medical or science background and no experience in anything other than controversial real estate “deals.”

Who do you trust? Do you believe the advice offered by medical experts and scientists, or the ramblings of men who do not believe in any form of science?

Trump claims to know “everything.” Over the last 38 months we have learned that he knows nothing about anything. He is an uneducated man with an extremely low level of intelligence.
