Democratic Representative Maxine Waters blasted President Donald Trump and the many Americans that he has supported for wanting to open up the economy and getting their jobs back during a television interview on MSNBC. She branded the groups of Americans who were protesting all over the country as “right-wing segregationists and activists.” She also said that the President is not helping by sending out messages that are supporting those groups. She thinks the President is not helping at all when he talks past the experts and gives out opinions that he is not qualified to make. She even added that the President is not a good leader at all, and that is not helping and is, in fact, even dangerous.

As usual, Waters blamed President Trump for everything wrong that is going on in the country. She just branded the people who are out protesting in Michigan, Virginia, and other states as right-wing activists without failing to mention what actually triggered the protests. Many of the protesters were angry at the draconian measures that have been imposed by their state governments, which in some cases didn’t make sense at all. They are afraid that the increased power of the government is starting to infringe on the constitutional rights of citizens under the disguise of enforcing a lockdown.

Many are also angry that the economies of the states are being forced to shut down to enforce social distancing. They are afraid that the solution being used to curtail the spreading of the virus is actually worse than the disease itself. The lockdown has caused a record spike in unemployment in the United States. The longer it continues, the more Americans will be affected by it. The protesters want the economy to be opened again so they can go back to work.

President Trump has voiced strong support for the people who are protesting. He said that some of the governors might have been carried away by the measures they have taken, and they have been a bit too harsh on some of the rules they imposed on their constituents. The President also made controversial tweets calling for the “liberation” of several states which are run by Democratic governors. Unsurprisingly, the Democrats are now saying that the tweets are the encouragement of right-wing behavior and very irresponsible.
