What HAS happened is that political considerations have forced him to react to a ridiculous, infantile public hysteria that has been fanned by the media. It really is a no-win situation. But he’s been smart keeping the right balance: Take charge and maintain the confidence of the public, but let mayors and governors take all the blame for all the excessive totalitarian sh!t that is ultimately going to outrage the citizenry the most.
EXCELLENT summation !!

Bingo.
Nope.
Trump will get all the blame, and none of the credit.
That’s SOP in today’s America.
Democrats have been rooting for the economy to tank ever since it became clear they were not going to take down Trump by other means. Dems would love to have 10 percent unemployment and a stock market under 10,000 by election day. Democrat governors shutting down whole states will try to blame Trump’s response for the pandemic, but whether or not that charge sticks to Trump, the situation has given them cover to sabotage the economy. That’s the strategy. And if democrats win in November, they will take advantage of an economic crisis to go full socialist.
“President Trump is not being played. His initial instincts on this — that people should calm down and take reasonable protective measures to deal with something that is likely to be not much worse than a bad flu season — were correct.

Bravo!
I adamantly concur!
BINGO. Spot on. I’m going to use this in my ongoing email back and forth with my dwindling number of demoncrat associates
Thank you!
Well said, that’s what this looks like.
Why would Pres Trump go along with something like this? Something that would completely devastate a roaring economy and shutter small biz?
That would mean he is playing us.
And, I don't think he is.
I'm sorry but that is a ridiculous thought process. He had NO problem at all taking on the entire political system and calling it what it was. He had no problem taking on the entire corrupt structure of Washington. He fought against every plot and lie against him and won. And now you're positing that a fake virus has somehow made him wreck everything he's been working for years to fix?
Or maybe the threat is real. Every press conference he holds shows that he totally believes that this is a war. The whole WORLD is fighting this battle.
