Trump: 'I disagree strongly' with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp's decision to reopen businesses in his state
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he disagrees with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp's decision to reopen some businesses in his state starting Friday.
"He must do what he thinks is right," Trump said. "I want him to do what he thinks is right. But I disagree with him on what he's doing, but I want to let the governors do — now if I see something totally egregious, totally out of line, I'll do — but I think spas and beauty salons and tattoo parlors and barbershops in Phase 1 — we're going to have Phase 2 very soon — is just too soon.
"You know, if I were advising the governor I would tell him that he should be careful and I would advise him not to just turn the switch on and go, because there is a danger of a rebound," Fauci said during Wednesday's briefing. "Look, I'd like them to listen to their governors. All of their governors," Trump said. "I have the right to do if I wanted to clamp it down, but I have respect for the governors."
