Pandemic stretches Trump image as gutsy decision-maker to the breaking point
by W. James Antle III
 | April 24, 2020 12:00 AM

President Trump awoke Thursday morning to newspapers in Georgia reporting he had thrown plans for reopening its economy into “disarray,” as his efforts to balance getting the coronavirus under control with the need to get people back to work begin to raise questions about his decisiveness.

Trump has sought to cultivate an image as a confident, strong leader. Georgia is a state he carried in 2016 and hopes to win again in November. His presidential campaign four years ago was premised on his managerial prowess. As he deals with the biggest crisis of his presidency, supporters and critics alike are wondering whether he will follow his gut, which seems inclined to get an economy halted by widespread lockdowns moving again, or the advice of medical experts who counsel continued social distancing as the only way to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

He is in danger of looking like he is waffling between the two.

I think it's nice of the press to demonstrate why Trump thinks they're all FOS, and against anything he does.

“I told the governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp, that I disagree — strongly — with his decision to open certain facilities,” Trump said at the daily White House coronavirus briefing. “It’s just too soon. I think it’s too soon.”

There goes the "Trump as Dictator" meme.

Good points @Chosen Daughter
Absolutely true.  OTOH...aside from the Liberate tweets, President Trump has displayed a remarkably consistent message of walking the tightrope between saving lives, and promoting the economy where possible.  I think, based on later press conferences, my President knows he screwed up with those Liberate tweets.  I already had a low opinion of him but I'm willing to forgive the tweets as an imperfect man, stressed out by responsibility, letting his anger get away from him.  I can empathize with that.  It doesn't negate all the good decisions my President made during this crisis.

Don't be silly.  Every.  Single.  Thing.  Trump.  Does.  Is.  Bad.  Even.  Stuff.  That.  Does.  Good.

I can't fault you for that.  Good post.   Maybe he should stop tweeting.
