Everyone in the White House owns — or wants to own — a piece of the administration’s coronavirus response.
If Trump sends Americans back to work and allows businesses to open their doors too soon and the virus spreads even further, he could extend Americans’ self-quarantine by weeks or even months. But if the economy remains stalled — leaving millions more people to lose their jobs and countless businesses to go bankrupt — then Trump will have overseen an even deeper downturn that devastates his reelection prospects.
“It is almost a White House that was designed to fail from Day One,” Whipple said. “Now, you’ve got a crisis meeting a president who ran against the whole idea of government and who thinks the federal bureaucracy is a deep state out to get him. Now, he has to be able to mobilize that deep state to save us all.”
Kushner, the president’s son-in-law, became heavily involved in the coronavirus response roughly two weeks ago when Trump became concerned about testing in the U.S., and Kushner empowered the Federal Emergency Management Agency to take more of a leading role as top health officials, including Azar, have been sidelined. Now several White House and agency staffers work out of the FEMA offices rather than the West Wing.
Trump is not a leader. Trumpp will continue to be Trump. Next Trump problem will be his corrupt mismanagement of the $2tr Congress just handed him.

Go play golf
I can only hope a few ER workers give him a warm embrace while still wearing their PPE.
Kind of incomprehensible for Trump supporters to find out in this way how badly they fucked up.
There is no 'deep state'. Just Trump's deep delusions..
And he will win! You lose!
Self inflicted.
Trump is the worst manager ever. Gives away the emergency supplies then sends in the troops without equipment guaranteeing an unmitigated disaster.
Trump will never meet the CHALLENGE!
A challenge Trump & his incompetent sycophants are incapable of managing. Trump will corruptly & chaotically use the $2tr Congress just handed over to him, especially that $5b slush fund, to try to get himself re-elected. Cornered but still dangerous.
Trump now saying 100,000 -200,00 virus deaths. Why the hell are we not making the social distancing guidelines mandatory for all states? His medical team telling him it could potentially be as high as 1-2 million deaths.
“US intel agencies were issuing ominous, classified warnings in January and February about the global danger posed by the coronavirus while Trump and lawmakers played down the threat and failed to take action that might have slowed the spread”
The epidemiologist who helped eradicate smallpox says Trump’s early handling of COVID-19 is “is the most irresponsible act of an elected official that I've ever witnessed in my lifetime.”
But as usual it is 'on a scale no one could have imagined' and 'we've done incredible things'. I am at a loss for more choice phrasing but I am sure you can fill in.
He's woefully inept, but his cult followers see him as the anointed one.
President Trump is the boss!
