Barack could also hold weekly briefings and robotically repeat the sensible advice we've known for four months: wear a mask, wash your hands often, avoid close encounters, avoid obvious risks. What good would it do? Trump has the bully pulpit and will "win" any such battle as he controls the official positions of the US govt. It's an insane situation but that's where we're stuck for the next six months.
