Is it just me, or is he going out of his way to mention work in NY and CA?

Hitching his star to Cuomo and Newsom?

Change of tone here toward those states.

Trump's COVID-19 strategy simplified (for now)

In the court of public perception:

Have the states do all the heavy lifting.

Continue daily briefings for appearances.

Capture the action halo by the states and hope most don’t know the difference (Fed vs. states). Continue to see public approval of situation rise.

The spoiler to this? Shit gets really real in two months. Stories of death, shortages and despair by even trump’s faithful pulls back the curtain on who is really doing what and is who is asleep at the wheel. No amount of lying, denial, blaming, or payoffs will sweep things under the rug.

Obama cannot let this go on unchallened any longer

I read that Trump continued to lay blame of HIS upreparedness for coronavirus at the feet of Obama on today's call with state governors.

I know past presidents have a rule not to interfere with current presidents, but this message of "it's Obama's fault!" now being repeated ad naseuem by Trump is blame shifting at dangerous levels. It is cold, callous and totally calculated for too many reasons to list here.

Yes, sane thinking people will see through this message, but nearly 50 percent of America will now turn this to "truth."

Are Obama and Democrats going to combat this messaging publically (a statement, a press conference, etc.)? Or is it a case of pick your battles so the pros can focus on what really matters rather then getting in the gutter to play defense?

With so many life-or-death issues we will be facing, I hate that THIS bothers me.

Impeachment is about proving Trump's illegal actions. NOT manufactured impropriety by the Bidens!

For the love of God Democrats, hold tight and don't even entertain a witness swap in order to get Bolton.

If the Rs want to take on the Bidens, do it in another venue where it belongs. They have nothing to hide and it will be a viewed as a vindictive ploy by a majority of Americans. Rs just want to conflate impeachment and conspiracy theories to lessen the impact of Trump's crime(s) and the Rs cover-up.
