      Something I didn't fully realize till the past month: it's dangerous to have a leader whose base holds him to a low standard. If Trump's base insisted he take charge of the Covid-19 response, he'd have to. But since they're satisfied with press conferences, that's all we get.

      You might think Republican leaders would privately urge Trump to get his act together. Especially since so many of them are over 60. I don't know why they haven't. Perhaps they know it wouldn't work.

          Because they know that he will lash out at them if they do and none of them have the courage to do what is right for the country.

          Trump is pushing Chloroquine while the entire system is trying to block it.

          I don't understand this conspiracy theory. The WHO is doing a global trial of four drugs including that one he blurted out. And even if it's effective, if there's a shortage, we shouldn't have dentists randomly writing themselves scripts to hoard ithttps://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/03/who-launches-global-megatrial-four-most-promising-coronavirus-treatments …

          Well he did get pressured from his inside circle to stop saying Chinese Virus, as the amount of hate crimes against Asian Americans surged.

          The Republicans have Dr. Birx to allow them to believe that the exponential growth is not a major concern.

          I think your hunch may still play out to be true: as it sweeps into more red states, reality may yet creep up on them

          Look at what's happening with Dr Birx. A respected professional is being drawn into the Trump Distortion Field. I guess he's just very hard to deal with.

          Trump serves two interesting purposes: he is willing to sign Republican legislation and he is instrumental in shattering faith in government across the political spectrum, which is aligned with traditional libertarian / Republican objectives.

          This is it. Exactly why he is so valuable to them. The Republican Party is a death cult.
