He has no choice. If I was Trump, I would do the same thing because if this does get out of control, and I acknowledge it can, he will be blamed for every death and not knowing what to do. If this passes with minimal loss of life, he can take credit for that.

But as you know, the media and the dems will try to pin anything that goes wrong on Trump and they are trying their hardest and there will always be those that will agree.

But you have to understand, the models they used to predict the fatalities and percent were highly flawed. That has already been admitted. The model used to predict fatalities estimated 500,000 deaths in the UK and 2.2 million in the US. Now he tells us, he (the modeler) thinks it will be 20,000 max in the UK and probably not even near that number. Now he tells us...sorry about that.

Trump's presidency will be judged on this one thing alone. Anything that happened before these weeks are irrelevant as far as November goes. This is the whole ball game for Trump and so I fully understand the politics of this. It's a shame one has to look at this event politically, but that is where we are as a nation now. That is why Trump is front and center constantly, which is smart.

There are a ton of shallow people out there and many will look at their quarterly 401K statements in April and blame Trump. While their cash flow is unaffected, people still "feel" flush with affluency or feel less well off and, of course, the president gets the credit or the blame. Unbelievably, I know a few like that.
