Trump has got to stop focusing on himself and start focusing on reopening the country. Lift any federal state of emergency, which thus deprives the governors of their justification for seizing power, and announce that the DOJ will start prosecuting violations of civil (that is, Constitutional) rights, since just about everything these governors have done has been a violation of civil rights.

Tell the states that they need to get children back into school ASAP - while public schools are horrible, having bands of unsupervised young boys roaming the streets and doing petty crime is worse. And they’re often unsupervised because their parents are low-wage “essential workers” who don’t have the luxury of working at home. To heck with the teachers unions, states have got to start doing this.

But first Trump has to stop ceding his powers to President Fauci.

If what the government, dems and msm have done to this country over the last four years is allowed to stand, there is no country to open back up.

This doesn’t sound like he’s focused on himself:

“The Dems are vicious, but got caught. They MUST pay a big price for what they have done to our Country.”

He’s focused on COUNTRY.

Agree. Trump is missing a historic opportunity to be the champion of liberty and freedom. I can’t think of a better legacy for him.

Good news and bad news. Your #7, no doubt of good intention, lays out a few suggestions worthy of the highest consideration. But, just between you and me, you also include what could be regarded as undeserved and inappropriate cheap shots at Trump.

There is nothing at all in Trump's linked tweet that demonstrates self-focus; in fact, that tweet could have been authored by most FReepers as one of the urgent and even obvious wake up calls needed by our political leaders.

Nor does Trump "cede powers" to a "President Fauci". He inherited Fauci as a seemingly well-credentialed member of the group of experts that was brought to his attention in response to a major threat crossing the threshold. If you have ever tried to summarily dismiss an expert, you know there are risks. In this case, it seems better that Trump keep Fauci close to him.

Think of the forces currently aligned against Trump: the lib Dems, the Deep State, the Rino's, MSM-educated voters and now a major international adversary who can "pose" an existential threat and recognize they are all bent on increasing his work load. One shouldn't wonder if he does very rarely focus on himself.

Lift any federal state of emergency is the last thing Trump can afford as each EO signed by Obama, the WOT, etc., give Trump dominion of the media, the military, economic production among other levers of power Hillary and Barrack hoped she would inherit. I would hate to have you giving advice to Trump as these matters are beyond your current comprehension.
