Trump ‘will win or lose election in NEXT MONTH based on whether or not he reopens country after coronavirus lockdowns’
DONALD Trump will win or lose his reelection campaign in the next month if he doesn’t end the coronavirus lockdown, it’s claimed.
The warning came after his supporters staged demonstrations across the country against the strict stay-at-home rules which are aimed at curbing Covid-19 transmission.
But rather than being isolated protests, the demos suggest a groundswell of opinion against the restrictive measures that have seen millions of flung out of work.
More than 22 million citizens have filed for unemployment benefits in the past month.
Conservative groups’ internal polling in Republican-leaning and swing states show surging numbers of voters who favor reopening the country.
Adam Brandon, president of FreedomWorks, a conservative group which recently polled on ending the lockdown, told : "If you don't see something start to happen… you’re going to see a conservative revolt by our base.
"The worst strategy for him is to keep things shut until August.
"Trump is basically going to win or lose his election right now, in the next month."
He said: "I just think that some of the governors have gotten carried away.
"We continue to see a number of positive signs that the virus has passed its peak.”
Namely speaking about the restrictions that have been put in place in , the president said: “Don’t buy paint.
"Don’t buy roses… she’s got all these crazy things.
"Some of them are being unreasonable, I really believe that."
But New York governor Andrew Cuomo, who has sparred with Donald Trump repeatedly during the coronavirus outbreak, said: "We are not at a point when we are going to be reopening anything immediately."
Many sought an immediate lifting of restrictions and chanted “Let us work!”
The rally was organized by a host of Infowars, owned by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who joined protesters on the Capitol steps.
More than 200 people stood close together outside the governor’s mansion in Indianapolis, carrying American flags and signs demanding that Holcomb lift restrictions.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott already said that restrictions will begin easing next week.
