Trump Didn’t Get Enough Praise at Fox Town Hall So He’s Holding Another COVID-19 Rally Tonight

What’s gonna indicate that we might have to pull back a tiny bit in case we have a relapse?”

Trump conceded “a thing like that could happen” but expressed optimism they could still do what they’re doing “from a work environment instead of an environment where everybody’s locked up.”

He said it may take a greater toll on people if shutdowns continue, alluding to his previous comments claiming claiming there could be “suicide by the thousands.”
