President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that he "disagreed strongly" with the decision by Georgia's Republican governor Brian Kemp to reopen salons, gyms and other nonessential businesses later this week, saying, "It's just too soon."

In fact, the foursome shared two shovels and stood side-by-side while touching hands. Voters immediately called them out for their dangerous behavior.
