1. If we judge by the lowest of low bars, then Trump is doing slightly better in the last week (at least acknowledges problem is real) but it's still a disaster. One big problem is Trump isn't even using a lot of powers he has, like getting factories to make medical supplieshttps://twitter.com/catrakowski/status/1240966771336785920 …

7. The Dems could use leverage they have because Trump needs their stimulus votes (and also bipartisan cover in an emergency).

8. Who could be the Coronavirus Czar? Perhaps Ronald Klain (who oversaw the Ebola crisis). But imagine Elizabeth Warren in that role. I make the case here:https://www.thenation.com/article/society/warren-coronavirus-czar-trump/?nc=1 …

We desperately need him to stop being out front. Desperately.

He misses his rallies, the daily press conferences give him some of that joy back. He's not going to give them up.

plus it's actually something i could see him go for. big splashy announcement, someone else to go on TV and say good things about him, a scapegoat if things go really badly.

But, if Trump doesn’t cede his power to the Czar it’s pointless. (narrator: he won’t cede his power)
-
Yeah this is my reaction as well — and he certainly wouldn't cede his platform(s); which is to say, he would absolutely regularly say/tweet things in direction contradiction to the "Czar," and make claims that are not remotely true, and thus completely defeat the purpose

Wasn’t Mike Pence doing that? Or supposed to be doing that?
