While millions are sick and thousands are dying of coronavirus, Trump is playing serious politics. He recently claimed he had total power over the governors and was thinking about telling them to open up business in spite of coronavirus. As he does not have this power, I wondered how he was going to escape this one. Well, it turned out to be easy. He did it in two steps, First he said that he would delegate the power to open up the states to the governors (pretty clever) and then (2) attack the WHO organization to change the subject.
Though I find what Trump is doing to be sick, his plan is to take credit for opening the states while pinning the blame for coronavirus resurgence on the Governors (probably the Democratic governors). Of courses, governors can see through this, but it makes their job more difficult.
It is clear to me that Trump does not give a hoot about human life (well, maybe his children). After all, look at how he walked away from our Kurdish allies leaving them to be slaughtered by the Turks. It should be clear that all along Trump has viewed the coronavirus as an economic problem and not a human life problem.
In his convoluted way, Trump is encouraging demonstrators to "Liberate" Minnesota, Michigan, and Virginia to open businesses.* He is actually fomenting problems in these states by urging demonstrators on. I wondered if these demonstrators are getting paid?
I can't see how this all ends well. In the end, I presume we are just going to give up controlling the coronavirus and suffer the consequences. Maybe we will end up with 2 million deaths after all.
