    Trump wants the coming confrontation on opening the economy. He knows this year will be a disaster. If he pushes for "opening" but the states resist, he can blame the recession and the worsening unemployment on them, can say it would've been better if only they listened to him.

        Or he'll only get his way in states with Republican governors in which case the strategy will spectacularly backfire.

        Agree. Add a bit of blaming China on top of that and he'll have the recipe to motivate his base and possibly bring in some new disaffected voters.

        Huge doubts he'll do anything but motivate his base. Best case scenario for Trump is that he can suppress votes, as per WI. He's pretty much stuck with his base, and that's it.

        he can't lose imo, win-win for him whatever he does. having the power is really fucking good, it's why incumbents usually win

        Same with hydroxychloroquine. "This would all go away if only the scientists would listen to me"

        #coronavirus is the final solution for voter suppression. The Democratic base is doing most of the dying and Tom Perez and Biden insisting that the primaries continue did not help. Some of the people who voted for Biden in March will be gone in November.

        Yep... but it's a helluva risk because several GOP Govs will undoubtedly heed Trump's call, endangering their populations. Should the outbreaks in those states worsen, Trump's going to be branded "Murder in Chief."
