Now, the president has a point about individual mitigation efforts. If the nation is to reassume some semblance of normalcy in the year or more that it will take to develop and distribute a vaccine, it will be incumbent on individuals to act responsibly. Which makes Trump’s steadfast refusal to even cursorily reprimand these demonstrators that much more obtuse. These protesters were not flouting the heavy-handed diktats of Gretchen Whitmer. These are the president’s own guidelines that these pro-Trump demonstrators are rebelling against, and they are apparently doing so with his support.

What gives? The New York Times put its finger on the pulse of the White House when, citing two sources close to Trump, it reported that the president believes the “protests could be politically helpful to Mr. Trump, while acknowledging there might be public health risks.” The sordid implication here is that Trump has put his political fortunes above the imperatives associated with controlling the spread of the coronavirus. But playing both sides of this equation, insofar as he can, is also the shrewdest political option available to the president.

3 things:

Trump said that they were social distancing.  They aren't in that picture and they weren't in Washington State either.

Notice the Q sign?  Trump was the ringleader of these protests, and I think that he organized through Q.

This is the Trump rally, since he can't have them right now.  And of course he wouldn't say anything about how irresponsible that is to have a crowd lke that without social distancing or masks.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

People control their own actions.
People make their own decisions.
People should be responsible for both.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
