It is WELL documented (due to exactly how ridiculous and dumb the quote was, and continues to be). And please let me know what "context" you find, as I mentioned in the post you replied to, the guy doubled down on it just recently (I think within the past month or so). But I know how this goes; you are presented with "facts" (that might be a foreign concept for Trump supporters now, as we are lied to consistently and with no shame); then you play a serious game of mental gymnastics; ultimately asking rhetorical questions, changing the subject, or dropping it completely.
It is also the responsibility of individual states to also look after their constituents - especially since Trump's leadership in this is not written into law nor or the constitution.
I am genuinely interested in the psyche and thought process of folks trying to defend the indefensible. Is there a modicum of the thought "well, that's kind of a good point." Or is it like "this snowflake is triggered, he hates orange man, this is what the republicans said would happen, I have to double and triple down now and go on the offensive?"
Some facts I can see are trustworthy. Some I can present a different yet valid interpretation to via a different set of facts. I like to be objective, unlike some in here.
Then why is it when individual states want to delay opening schools, the President threatens to withhold funds?
It is a QUOTE, said on CAMERA, and REPEATED. Hahaha I don't think we need to insert the Beautiful Mind gif here, this is not advanced trigonometry.
What am I evading? Trump and his administration has screwed this up. Sure, people continue to be irresponsible. It certainly doesn't help when the President has mismanaged the situation.
Lost my shape - trying to act casual! Can't stop - I might end up in the hospital I'm changing my shape - I feel like an accident They're back! - to explain their experience Isn't it weird Looks too obscure to me Wasteing away And that was their policy I'm ready to leave I push the fact in front of me Facts lost - facts are never what they seem to be Nothing there! No information left of any kind Lifting my head Looking for danger signs There was a line There was a formula Sharp as a knife Facts cut a hole in us There was a line There was a formula Sharp as a knife Facts cut a hole in us I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting... I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting... I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting... The feeling returns Whenever we close our eyes Lifting my head Looking around inside The island of doubt It's like the taste of medicine Working by hindsight Got the message from the oxygen Making a list Find the cost of opportunity Doing it right Facts are useless in emergencies The feeling returns Whenever we close our eyes Lifting my head Looking around inside Facts are simple and facts are straight Facts are lazy and facts are late Facts all come with points of view Facts don't do what I want them to Facts just twist the truth around Facts are living turned inside out Facts are getting the best of them Facts are nothing on the face of things Facts don't stain the furniture Facts go out and slam the door Facts are written all over your face Facts continue to change their shape I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting... I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting... I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...
Already provided. It was in the previous link that I posted. You don't read links, so stop asking for them

I have said elsewhere hindsight is always 20/20. Trump is not responsible for people to not use masks, not social distance, not wash their hands or sanitizing common contact surfaces. He is not your maid.
https://www.us-covid-tracker.com/?time=all Link above for the 7 days moving avg. It never went below 20k since April. Perhaps you are looking at individual dates and some of those did go down to 18-19k. You don't use single day because the States and the US as whole do not report all cases on some days - usually Sun, Mon, Tues are down days while Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat or up days. You want to avg the week out for an accurate view of what's going on. Anyway, 18k, 22k, 25k, whatever the number isn't that important. They are all very high. As a quick comparison, South Korea and the US has the first case on the same date. They both reach ~500 cases per day in early March. By the start of April, SK has under 100 cases per day, while the US has ~20k cases per day. As they relax restrictions and open up, the US spike while SK continue to keep it under 100 cases per day. The point stand - experts warn against opening up too soon with high case load, prior to crushing the curve. The CDC has guideline and criteria that weren't followed for re-opening. It was a reckless gamble and we are all paying the price for it. Side note - perhaps Trump was too keen on the heat, and that his hope that the summer heat would just "vanish the virus" away was foolish and he ignored many that warned against that assumption.
