President Trump to CDC Director Robert Redfield .....Go-F-Yourself CDC Director Robert Redfield stated on Thursday that he would reconsider advocating a second lockdown if the virus resurfaces, but President Trump said he would not allow that to happen. The president acknowledged that a second wave is a possibility but does not see a second lockdown as a viable option. “We can put out the fires. Whether it is an ember or a flame, we are going to put it out. But we’re not closing our country,” President Trump declared.
