Trump furious that he can’t do rallies in Florida after its GOP governor made COVID spread ‘worse’

President Donald Trump is reportedly furious at one of his allies for taking his advice.

According to Vanity Fair’s Gabriel Sherman, the president is angry that he can’t hold any of his trademark campaign rallies in Florida amid its weeks-long surge in COVID-19 cases.

What’s more, Sherman’s sources say Trump is putting the blame for this predicament at the feet of Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has been eager to follow the president’s commands to reopen state economies even as the country records more than 50,000 infections and 1,000 new deaths from the novel coronavirus every day.

“He thinks Ron has made it a lot worse,” one Republican who spoke with Trump said.

Trump was forced to cancel his planned RNC acceptance speech in Jacksonville after public health officials told him there was no way to safely hold a mass gathering in the city without risking mass COVID-19 infection.

Nonetheless, one aid tells Sherman that “rallies are his jam” and that “Trump won’t be happy until he is doing multiple rallies a day.”

That is bizarre. I could understand not making them mandatory but banning them is strange.

Considering his "jail has seen a serious spike, with at least 200 inmates testing positive, along with 36 jail employees, including officers. A nurse at the jail has also died of covid-19." It is completely bizarre.

Obviously you did not read the article at the link from my earlier post in this thread. I will post the relevant text here so your lack of reading comprehension is obvious.

Twice in two days, Trump and his aides have put the squeeze on DeSantis, a fellow Republican.

“Florida is in a little tough, or a big tough, position,” Trump told reporters this week.

Now, DeSantis, a Trump ally, is painted into a corner: He needs to deliver the must-win battleground for the president — something the state’s rising cases and death rate are chipping away at — while staying in Trump's good graces as his once-sky-high approval ratings sink. Without Trump's endorsement in the 2018 GOP primary, DeSantis almost certainly wouldn't have been elected.

Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway followed the president’s blunt assessment with her own criticism on Wednesday of states that have become hotspots, saying some businesses — specifically nightlife — opened too soon and contributed to the surge in infections.

“They opened up some of the industries too quickly, like bars,” she said to reporters. “The governors wanted complete latitude over when they would open their states, they pushed back heavily ... Republicans and Democrats, when it was falsely rumored that the president was going to be in charge of opening the states.”

Conway didn't call out Florida directly, but her comments clearly included the state, which reopened bars to partial capacity in early June and DeSantis soon derided as fostering “dance party USA.” On Tuesday, Florida reported 9,752 new cases, and a 10.5 percent positivity rate.
