Donald Trump, the American President, cited some positive signs for fighting against the novel coronavirus pandemic, on Saturday. He stated that the previous government handed them over a broken junk. After making some great efforts, he managed to turn the USA into the King of Ventilators. He further expressed that he and his administration is looking the matter very carefully and thinking to develop some solid plan to stop the spread.
Donald Trump said that they would allow Texas and Vermont state to open some particular businesses, of course, with some strict conditions, e.g., keeping in mind SOPs like social distancing. Meanwhile, they are also thinking of giving some slack to other states. However, those states who have been affected dramatically by the epidemic, such as New York, would not receive any kind of relaxation in their restrictions, sooner or later. The US President also pinned the blame on the previous government about the slow initial response of the USA; he stated he got a terrible system from the Obama government.
Donald further added that he inherited a broken junk with bare cupboards, now with his hard work; he developed a new system and loaded hospitals. At some point, he also expressed that he started his tenure with trash in his hands. Plus, he also criticized the Democrats for politicizing the current situation. He also blamed the Democratic congressional leaders for delaying the refill of the small business loan program that was demanded in the last week.
