THE 'REAL' PLAN TO RE-OPEN AMERICA?
a draft speech may mean trump has a
secret scheme for reviving the economy

LILY, a special correspondent, has shared with the "Tracking Trump" a purported draft speech suggesting Trump may have a secret plan to restart the economy. In this undated photo, Lily is at her home office in Providence, R.I.

   EDITOR’S NOTE: President Trump on April 16 announced a three-phase roadmap to get the American economy rolling again after the stunning downturn caused by measures to limit the spread of COVID-19.
   However, Special Correspondent Lily, who is safe distancing at her home on Providence, Rhode Island’s historic East Side, has obtained a purported draft of a speech in which the president describes a radically different approach.
     Is this the “real” plan? The White House had no comment, nor was it asked for one. The “Tracking Trump” blog is publishing the document in full as a public service, and we thank Lily for her diligence and enterprise.

 MY Fellow Americans,
      Today, I am announcing a bold new initiative that will save mankind and solidify my position as President Forever.  
      It is called:  
      “ONE INCH AT A TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
      Every day, every day, for the next 72 days, Americans will be allowed to come one inch closer to one another. 
   
 THINK of it. By this time next week we will be a full foot closer –  or something like that. 
    Each day, each day, we will be building antibodies and resistance to this dreaded virus.
   This plan has been scientifically vetted and approved –  Mike Pence calls it: “ONE FOR THE AGES!!!!!!!”
    In a little over two months America – and then the world – will burst back into full bloom. 
    It’s a great plan, a great plan, and it’s all my doing.
    Just 72 days from now – I think that’s sometime about mid-May – we will be face-to-face, or knee-to-face, as you adoring masses kneel before your conquering hero.
     I can’t wait … .
   
   WAIT a minute ....
    We must ramp up our economy instantly, and I have the solution. 
    I’ll  make it:
    ONE FOOT AT A TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EXHAUSTED by her success in obtaining a purported draft of Trump's speech outlining his secret economic revival plan, Lily recuperates in the backyard of her East Side, Providence home.
