Yesterday President Trump released his plan for “reopening America”. You can read the entire plan here. It won’t take more than 5-10 minutes.
I’m clearly not the target audience for the plan. I would prefer more specific metrics—IMO that’s the only way you can actually measure progress, along with action items for himself, government agencies, states, private corporations, etc. along with metrics for those. But specifics would expose the president to attack so they’re avoided and the sort of detail I’m talking about would bore the pants off most people.
I have found it grimly amusing that nearly the same people who were outraged that Trump would claim the authority to reopen the country are now complaining that he’s dumping everything on the states. Welcome to federalism. Presumably, someone informed the president that he doesn’t actually have the authority to lift governors’ “stay at home” directives. Clearly, whatever shortages there may be in tests, protective equipment, hand sanitizer, and toilet paper, there is no shortage of outrage.
Didnt hear me whining about Trump’s tiff with the governors. His superpowers are blaming others for stuff that is wrong and taking credit if something goes right. No way was he going to step up and take some responsibility to try to fix things.
