Trump can't really stop the lockdowns, right? They're being ordered by state governors. So it doesn't really matter if he wants to lift them.
Except that his idiot loyalists will likely follow his direction and go out. We'll see what enforcement on the state level looks like and if it's practical.

Update:
President Donald Trump said Monday that he wants to reopen the country for business in weeks, not months.
Trump acknowledged there were trade-offs
FIFY --

We have to ask what could actually happen if we ended social distancing. Would it be as bad as we've been told?

Hmm.....

Yes; we must question what the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and every Viral and Immunological expert on Planet Earth has already told us, and maybe just roll the dice to save our 401k's.

Am I getting this right?

Here are comments by various people about what Trump tweeted.......enjoy.....
Steve Hilton, who delivered the piece on Fox News that Trump parroted Sunday night strikes me as an inflammatory white supremacist Nazi type demagogue. WTF is he? That British accent? I've never heard/seen him before. I do NOT watch Fox News.

Meanwhile, we have been porked by Piglosi again. At least Trump is trying to get some relief to the American people, whether you like him or hate him, he's trying. Fucking green new deal, abortion, and other stuff she wants in the bill needs to god damn wait. There was bipartisan support for getting something done, until her seething hate for the president walked in and derailed it. Rot in hell, bitch!
I see you have been listening to the lies on FOX News .

I'm not convinced if Trump personally shot their family members they would believe he was wrong to do it, or that it was his fault.

This is a MEDICAL problem not, a financial one. Does it have a financial impact? Yes, it does. Should we make medical choices based on that financial impact? HE'LL NO!
It’s both, and a capacity problem as well. Humans have placed dogmatic faith in government and science to protect us from a world that will evolve new ways to kill us.

This is a global pandemic. The underlying virus spreads quickly, carriers don’t know that they have it and its just lethal enough to be concerning to high risk demographics but defiantly ignored by low risk demographics.

Getting in front of this thing assumed a huge war stock of medical supplies, reserve medical staff, testing capability and hospital bed overflow. This is why the military has the reserves.

It stopped being solely a medical issue the moment it broke out of China. So long as people are going to beaches and gatherings or making Target runs, its going to spread.

We either shut it all down for a few weeks or we let it burn through the population. These half measures will only delay the inevitable and increase the financial impact.

Competent government would have made a dramatic difference. Instead, we have Trump and co.

You do realize that subsequently economic problems can result in health problems, right? Ask Venezuela how their health is going right now. Want to join in on the Maduro diet?

What exactly do you think will happen with 30% unemployment?

The point simply being is that there is a fine balance to be had here. No, don't do stupid shit from a virus' spreading perspective - but also don't do stupid shit from an economic perspective.
