      1. Obama: “More than anything, this pandemic has fully, finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what they’re doing. A lot of them aren’t even pretending to be in charge.” True: USA has no national leadership now during an emergency.

      2. Trump has done something remarkable: he's gone AWOL in plain sight. He's everywhere (on TV, on twitter) but not really engaged with the crisis. He's pretending to be president while being president. That "Independence Day" tweet was a tell.

      3. Trump's not the only disappearing act. Since impeachment, congress seems to have given up oversight (and the GOP never even tried). All the more dangerous since Trump is squashing all dissent inside the government.https://twitter.com/AndrewDesiderio/status/1262401242724261889 …

      Confirmed: State Dept IG Steve Linick was also looking into Trump’s emergency declaration to sell arms to Saudi Arabia. “We don’t have the full picture yet, but it’s troubling that Secretary Pompeo wanted Mr. Linick pushed out before this work could be completed,” Rep Engel says

      4. Unless something unexpected happens, Trump is going to be president until at least January 20, 2021. In normal times, that would be bad, in a pandemic it's truly catastrophic. No chance of national leadership for 8 months.

          5. America has come up with a defacto work-around for Trump being president during the pandemic: governors & private sector taking the lead. But this is a global pandemic & there are foreign policy actions only a president can perform.

          I think Trump will resign a week early so Pence can pardon him

          He can self-pardon.

          He needs to be impeached (again) and removed from office. It's clear to anyone with a brain.
