tRump is making the same mistake personally as he did with the economy

After the initial lockdown, tRump pushed and strong-armed governors to open up their economies too quickly. Many people stayed away.

The lesson is that defeating the virus with proper lockdown and countermeasures (like masking) is the best medicine for the economy. 210,000 dead and climbing is the worst.

So it is with tRump. He has rushed his return to the White House which will not help his health compared to staying at Walter Reed until the virus is truly defeated.

Herman Cain took five weeks to die. It was four weeks from his positive test. Trump was positive on Thursday (and likely knew it sooner one way or another). He might die on Halloween.

Tough, uncompromising and decisive.

To me, he looks uninformed, panicking and weak.
