For Trump has a kinship with traitors.
Or you might also conclude that Trump believes that the statues are important to his base and the pandemic not so much.
Maybe Trump thinks that a statue or maybe a geographic feature will be named in his honor.
Right now, this is the only thing that's going to be named for Trump:

I call this pandemic, "The tRUMP Plague!"
He's also been a plague on our American form of representative democracy, and our international reputation!
tRUMP's a one man plague and pestilence!
I suspect that what you have labeled the peak is simply the foothills, unfortunately.
No, CP, sand dunes.
We are fleas, planet lice, cosmic crotch crabs, agitating the hide of a far greater organism, who is ridding herself of a pestilence.
Biggest Darwin Award ever.
Forecast is 100K day... assuming the best [least number] death
rate data for the younger set that is about 2,000 death a day.
that adds 60,000 to 90,000 or more per month.
The rethugs have easily killed more Americans than WWI, WWII
and the rest piled on. They will make American people persona
non grata for travel as a result.
They have drained the swamp and refilled it with crocodiles,
snakes, parasites, and skeeters that carry malaria.
Eck!
Agent Smith: I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure.
"Right now, this is the only thing that's going to be named for Trump:"
This could be on the list.
Trump Memorial town dump.
- We do not recycle or compost.
- We do not accept trash
- Only valuable metals
- Only cars less than 3 year old.
- computers will be inspected for data.
You were looking for the dump, we lied, take your trash elsewhere.
Eck!
100K per day? Per capita, Texas is already 70% there. Florida's governor is refusing to "close back down" and Rand Paul thinks Fauci needs to be more optimistic.
This is looking more and more like some bumbling, accidental, mass suicide.
-Doug in Sugar Pine
Bare-footed, barely literate rubes sprawled drunk and drooling Palovianly across a 'couch' the back seat out of a 1969 Chevy Suburban stoned to the bone on the Ambien, Prozac, Viagra and crotch-shots on Fox Kool-Aid, blindly following a charismatic 'leader' to suicide, dragging the rest of us with them.
Ten Bears,
There's a name for that... Lemmings.
Doug,
As to Dr Fauci being more optimistic... OK not 100K its heading to 200K!
That's optimistic! Oh, you meant 50K Sorry Random Paulie, you don't
get a vote and Covid is a ruthless dictator.
The real way to make him optimistic is do what he says, not the opposite!
The covidiots will not because they are a bunch of hormonal teenagers
having a pout because they can have their way.
Eck!
Oddly, Indiana doesn't look anything like that curve. a very slight uptick and nothing more
Outside of the cities (where the Social Distancing didn't happen in the riots (protests)) it isn't happening either (in most states).
Since the chart is unlabeled I wonder what city it represents?
Is it Donnie's fault if a governor reopened his or her state?
You’re right, B, the upticks will be the fault of the Republican governors, as encouraged by Donnie Bodybags.
B, yes, it is Trump's fault. First off, the Republican governors (most states seeing a spike are run by Republicans) take their cues from Trump. that has been obvious from the start.
Second, this is a national emergency. This isn't a flood wiping out a part of one state. This is happening everywhere. National emergencies demand national leadership, not 50+ scattershot plans.
We are a nation with a federal system, not a confederation of states. It is the presdient's job to lead, not to go hide in a bunker and send out rage-tweets about the statues of traitors. (In point of fact, the difference between the two systems was tested by war. It didn't go so well for the confederated states.)
“I do solemly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
Just a reminder, folks.
Well B, with support like yours, Trump won't have to take responsibility... for anything. Oh, wait. He already said that.

And speaking of the 'unlabeled' chart, any city that has 40,000+ cased in one day should probably be razed. Using common sense and the internet, one can see that the number of cases represented is for the entire United States. And the rise in cases seems to coincide with the 10 to 14 day period after Memorial day.
Dale
Also coincides with the Floyd Riots.
One is as likely as the other.
Yet I don't see anyone here blaming the Democratic Governors for letting those folks who were rioting/protesting fail to "Social Distance".
If there were no double standards here, there'd be no standards at all.
Outdoor protests weren’t followed by an increase in COVID-19 cases, B. To quote you, Goggle it.
B, Doctors and scientists say that being outdoors around people is far less of a risk than being indoors around people.
but hey, you want to engage in whataboutism without facts, feel free.
Actually, just as there have been no documentation of transmission via an unsanitized surface, there has been no documentation of transmission via chance encounters walking in the park. List runs (top five) bars, churches, restaurants, mini-marts, home.
You're not even trying, B, you're just pulling talking points out of Drumpf uck's ass.
14=/- days after the Floyd protests isn't correlation?
(Note, Causation doesn't always follow from Correlation, but often it does).
And if you look by county, it is pretty much just in the less rural counties that the upticks happened.

Spikeless Cities
The story is the same across a slew of cities that played host to an outpouring of fury and disgust after Floyd’s killing and, more generally, the impunity police have enjoyed after killing Black Americans for decades.
In Minneapolis, the cradle of the current movement, there have been testing sites stood up specifically for those who attended the protests.
Four sites run in partnership with the Mayo Clinic reported late last week that only 62 positive cases came out of 4,487 people tested, for a positivity rate of 1.4 percent, said Dave Verhasselt, a spokesperson for the Minnesota Department of Health. And on Tuesday, another Minnesota system called Health Partners reported a .99 percent positivity rate from the 8,500 it protesters tested.

“This should help to inform people even more about big decisions they can make in their own lives, to be doing as much as they can outdoors vs. indoors,” she told TPM.
The nationwide lack of spikes also speaks to the uniformity with which protesters donned masks at the demonstrations, per Hassig.
“It takes engagement with mask-wearing somewhere above 70 percent, at least 60, to really dampen down transmission,” she said.
Wen added that mask-wearing can reduce the risk of transmission “five-fold.”
The problem with masks, Hassig said, is the psychological element.
She called it a “normative behavior” much like littering. It’s hard to be the first person to drop a wrapper on the ground; it’s much less hard to do so if the pavement is already dotted with trash. That dynamic, she said, can go both ways — people are apt to feel uncomfortable if they’re the odd one out in a group either mostly wearing masks or mostly not.
She singled out political messaging, much of which is coming from the White House, as influencing some of this behavior.
“The sheeple comments, the conspiracy theories about ‘if we get them to wear masks then we can get them to do something else,’” Hassig said. “It’s a serious respiratory virus! It doesn’t care if you’re Republican or libertarian or what.”
Btw, over 2,400 people died of the Coronavirus in Indiana.
