The president told governors they could start reopening states by May 1 if they wanted to, but some late-night hosts (and health experts) thought that was too soon.
Late-night hosts couldn't help but notice President Donald Trump's changed-tune after he announced guidelines that would allow governors to restore states as early as May 1, if they wanted to. The decision to let governors make the final calls for what was best for their individual states was the polar opposite of comments the president made earlier in the week, and, of course, late-night hosts had a field day with the change.
Colbert thought opening the country by May 1, which is just two weeks away from now, was a bit premature. It was going to take him longer than that just to find his pants, he claimed. But mostly, he was worried there still wouldn't be enough testing done to actually confirm the president's claims that coronavirus cases had reached its peak.
He added:"Without the testing, Trump saying that he knows we've passed the peak is a little premature. I mean, you don't hear a fire chief saying, 'Look, I'm just eyeballing this one, but I don't see as many flames shooting out your window as before, so I'd say everybody back in the house. Let's go. Sleep tight."
"Why start asking for consent now?" Colbert joked."That's kind of like finding out you're engaged by getting a save the date to your own wedding. 'June 17th huh? Well I guess I'll have the salmon and Barbara."Kimmel also thought Trump's desire to restart the country at the beginning of May was a little hasty."He is determined to reopen this country like a bankrupt casino," the late-night host said.
