I knew this was trumps strategy, I didn’t think Kusner would be stupid enough to actually admit it:

He (Kushner) went on: “But the President also is very smart politically with the way he did that fight with the governors to basically say, no, no, no, no, I own the opening. Because again, the opening is going to be very popular. People want this country open. But if it opens in the wrong way, the question will be, did the governors follow the guidelines we set out or not?”

“who don’t think and don’t lead.”

Well, they do think that they are leaders 😉

Did you not hear? People are dying in the thousands every day and it’s still getting worse — almost 5,000 deaths recorded just yesterday, every one of them a personal tragedy. I have a nephew who has been bedridden for a week from the virus.

Not one president in living memory (and I’m not young) would be cracking jokes in public at a time like this, at anyone’s expense. Are you so lost that you cannot even understand how a national leader is supposed to act in a national crisis anymore? Or are you just a pathetic swamp-dwelling troll like Trump?

Biden: Who is Joe?

Thanks. I agree with that. But I think it odd that many were calling for Trump to shut things down without Congressional action.

I’m not Jeff, but one important distinction is the difference between the federal government having a power and the President having a power.
The federal government could perhaps force reopening of some sort through the commerce clause, but that would require Congress to pass legislation and the President to sign it. As opposed to a unilateral decree by the wannabe dictator in the White House.
