President Trump Orders Suspending Calendar over COVID19

In an effort to stave off the constant stream of criticism that days go by and nothing is still being done to address the growing need to supply testing kits and aide to unemployed workers. Trump has taken the extraordinary measure of freezing the calendar. In signing this latest executive order,  it bans the advancement of days in the yearly calendar.  In his press statement, he said, “With all these so-called experts and fake news outlets demanding action by this date or that, I am taking the extraordinary action of stopping all advancement of the calendar until further notice.”

Stunned cabinet members and members of Congress are still trying to understand just what this means and what it will affect. According to experts, it means that today will be stuck in place indefinitely. There will, in essence, be no tomorrow – or yesterday for that matter. It means that rents and mortgage payments due on the first of the month will not happen because there will not be a first of the month. Garbage collection and other essential services are still trying to grapple with how to adjust their schedules. Deadlines for re-opening services will have to be decided some other way than on a specific calendar date because from now on, there will be only “today”. More ominous is how it might affect the presidential election in November. According to one Congressman, “November has been canceled along with October, September, August, July, June, etc..”

Trump's response to this criticism was “I am the President and I have the power to do whatever I want”.
