"Trump has been performing well lately"
The USA has 5% of the global population, but 25% of the global Covid19 cases. What's wrong with this picture? It tells me Trump doing a craptastic job of reigning this thing in. Allowing individual states to keep the churches/beaches/synagogues/parks is sheer idiocy. Good luck with that. Perhaps Trump (and the GOP) are going the daring route. Let the coronavirus do what it's gonna do and get it over with no matter who or how many die. And then in the after math - while other countries are still struggling with it, America will come out ahead and profit greatly! MAGA! I'm pretty sure plenty of wealthy and/or powerful Americans have retreated to their "private estates" and will ride out the pandemic in relative safety. If they believe it is a city problem, they are happy to be rid of us. Apparently you aren't a "real american" unless you live on a dirt road, 10 miles away from anything.

Just to show that they know how this is done.
And I just managed to mix 14th century Boccaccio with our very own Bob Dylan

It doesn't matter how good Trump Performs. www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-mixed-messages/like-the-flu-trumps-coronavirus-messaging-confuses-public-pandemic-researchers-say-idUSKBN2102GY There's this from March 13th: " The coronavirus is not as bad as the seasonal flu. President Donald Trump is not worried about having had direct exposure to the virus. The United States is in far better shape than other countries. " When I STRONGLY suspect no one in any position of power thought "gee, there's nothing to worry about". Cause my State started shutting down, and my employer sent us all home on March 16th. (actually my employer was prepping for how to keep functioning before March 1st... and people started going WFH in waves.) There's more than 10,000 Americans dead from the coronavirus since March 1st. A little more than 30 days. So, yeah, Covid19 isn't as a bad as the seasonal flu in some alternate universe Trump lives in.... Trump's got blood on his hands from this "war" and it isn't the blood of the enemy.

Only for himself, his friends, and his donors. Does it surprise anyone to hear that the maker of the "miracle drug" that Trump has been incessantly touting with no evidence to support it once paid Michael Cohen over $1 million for access to Trump?

And that is 10,000 dead in a month, while shutting down the whole country. Imagine how many would be dead if a few governors hadn't taken the lead!

I don't think Pence will run for POTUS.
If he does, he'll be challenged in the primary.

At least he wasn't inviting people to Chinatown like Nancy Pelosi was. Trump can only go by the information he has at the time. Dr. Fauci was saying the same thing at the time, if I'm not mistaken. I saw a twitter comment from Fauci saying something completely different a few months ago too.

I guess the Navarro memos don't count. And if Trump didn't see him, he should have. If the people arounf him are that incompetent that they did not bring it to his attention, he is at fault. He is nominally in charge, remenber.

PS- Ivanka is ineligible to run, if you are serious. which, for the record, I don't think you are. oh, and Barron can't run in 2040. he'd only be 34. so that kills half your Royal Slate. you could run Pence in 2032.

LOL. Funny. Dynasties always work well. Did you vote for Hilary? at the end of the day, she was more qualified than Bill. and infinitely more qualified and capable than Trump.
