It's more about his reelection ...
With the economy tanking, there was little credit to claim.
What happened to a better Healthcare plan to replace the Affordable Care Act?
The Pandemic Response capability of the CDC was destroyed.
Oh, wait, this isn't about Trump, even if he thinks it is. This is supposed to be about putting together a plan to help the states that cannot handle such a crisis that transcends the state borders. This is not about states having to bid the highest price to get stockpiled assistance. This is about helping people to help people, organized by experts who actually know what they're doing.
This is about saving lives and avoid a horrible suffocation death for thousands upon thousands!
none of it seems to matter....we have a guy who, even in this situation, keeps to completely ignore science, contradict his own panel of professionals, goes from calling a worldwide situation a hoax to everyday muttering incoherently about "people say" and "I have a hunch"....it's just the flu, go back to work, we will be open by easter...and his followers eat it up, while dying...
I have been watching the WWII documentary series on Netflix with my kids and even they can see the parallels in the relentless propaganda machine churning out alternate realities....about whatever goes in handy....mexicans, Chinese, democrats, homeless....its not about the truth, it is about repeating the same thing over and over until it turns into what is generally accepted....there is no point arguing, because arguing it actually assumes a certain baseline of facts and reality....
look at England: "we are doing things differently here"....now that Charles and Boris have it we can see that his was all about a realization from the top that they would not have been able to handle it properly...and Charles and Boris will be fine....others less so....but who cares about them....

in the end this will blow over, the most unfortunate and the old will suffer most, the system in place is being kept up more and more desperately by older and older white men and in basic belief system includes some kind of karma idea...these guys kids already dont like them...the ones who brainwashed their kids into following the narrow path will go to a special kind of hell , the one where the grandparents are responsible for the grandkids hating their own parents....
short term thinking is one thing, trump managed to bring it down to twitter time span thinking, which really is no way of running anything....
