Trump is touting a return to work by Americans on May 1st because he wants to be blameless for any impact on the economy if the "Stay At Home" orders of the states remain after his demands otherwise.

Trump wants to blame the "Democratic Governors" for any pain Americans are feeling.


Trump's statements can be traced to his political standing and priorities. He isn't interested in the well being of the American people, so much as winning an election.


We already know from the examples of other countries that returning people to a "normal" life only results in a return of the country to a second "Stay At Home" order. I think it will be more difficult to achieve a second stay at home order and will be more painful than continuing the current paradigm. The healthcare systems will be stressed all over again. A return To Stay At Home would occur closer to the November election and will delay the national election for the chaos and Trump's concern for re-election.

It is my opinion that if governors are acting in the best interest of the people they will succeed in their favor. The payments to people currently Laid Off will serve to increase the movement of the economy within the USA and far less economic pain that people may be experiencing now. Once the payments are working to help the people, they will defer a return to work to the best judgment of governors that have kept them safe so far.
