President Trump said his audience of well-to-do supporters were involved in a “peaceful protest” and therefore did not need to adhere to state coronavirus guidelines prohibiting large gatherings
Trump was asked about his earlier assertion that the pandemic was “disappearing” by a reporter who noted the crowd in attendance seemed to be violating New Jersey restrictions meant to slow the spread of the virus.
Before the hastily called news conference began, members of Trump’s private club filed inside the room where the president was to speak, most of them not wearing masks.— Jonathan Lemire August 7, 2020 As of Friday night, more than 161,000 Americans have died of COVID-19, which has sickened more than 4.9 million people here. This week, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy retightened restrictions on indoor gatherings in the state following a recent surge in new coronavirus cases. The new guidelines prohibit indoor gatherings of more than 25 people.
In remarks ahead of questions from the press, Trump floated the idea of signing executive orders to extend unemployment insurance should a deal not be reached with Democrats in Congress, as well as one guaranteeing that insurance companies cover pre-existing medical conditions, something that the Affordable Care Act already put in place.
