By the time he's done Trump* will eventually have taken every possible inconsistent position about the virus. That will let him test which polls best, and his supporters can then pick that one as the position he took all along.

Trump*s new plan with the-buck-stops-with-the-states posture is largely designed to shield himself from blame should there be new outbreaks after states reopen or for other problems.

The Trump* "plan" to re-open the economy is similar to the Trump* "plan" to have drive-thru testing in every Wal Mart parking lot. It's...not a plan. It's another lie announced by this administration that purports to be a plan.

So over the next few weeks it’s going to become painfully obvious that governments in many other developed economies have handled this better than the United States.
