The passage of the support package bought him a little time...very little really, but maybe enough. Things will get hard for the average American pretty fast. The problem is that the society at large is panicked, at least to the point that the fear of the virus exceeds the concern over their future. He has to hold out until a peak is reached and the downhill side is obvious before taking the straightjacket off the economy. Otherwise he is handing power to the Democrats.
It’s a tight thread of the needle...we are in uncharted waters, never before has the world’s pre-eminent economy been shutdown overnight. That would normally be the end of the society, the nation, almost immediately. How much time he has is still a very big question.
Precisely, he is walking a razor’s edge. Early on he tried to slows things down a bit in an attempt to keep people calm and keep the economy from collapsing and Obama would have been allowed to do just that. Instead you could see immediately MSM and the rats were going to use it to crucify him. So he had to pivot. In fact in my area Soros is running devastating attack ads with out of context Trump sound bites from that time. The narrative that is emerging is Trump took two months to react “how he should have” so now we are #1 in cases. BS yes, but to the rats this is the kill shot they have been desperately looking for. Yes his numbers are good at the moment but it could not be more fragile. If they do in fact dump Joe you will know they have decided they can actually win this thing. If they get mail in voting for the General they will.
