#1 Easy enough to energize teleworking by cutting broadband costs. Bring call centers back to the states for the former table service operators.

#2 That must be the really "tough decision" Pres. Trump mentioned in the presser on Friday. Well, we'll just see what Fauci, Gates, and other deep-staters have to say about that!

#3 If this weren't too important to play politics with, I'd say that Trump should demand a roll-call up-or-down vote of Congress on whatever he proposes. No hiding on this one.

#4 Of course Trump can't demand anything. Congress will do what it does.

Since MaligNancy runs the HoR ..........

I'm not sure how much of this he controls.
I will point out that tomorrow is Easter. Didn't DJT mention Easter as a goal early on?

#5 You know he's prepping the political battlefield.

#6 Trump is no match for these Democrap bozos. I hope he does re-open (or, recommends to the governors) the country (where rational) ASAP.

And although his opponents will attack him no matter what (unemployment, health care, etc., affected or not by COVID-19), I just can't see how he should be worried about 'numbers' for the next election given the gravity of the current situation. But, nobody is saying his opponents are rational.

#7 It's too easy to choose the "safe" option of perpetual adult timeout.

#8 There are already people who are fed up with the lock down. If enough people say "screw it," I don't see the people who want to be good little stay at home serfs coming out in vigilante bands to do anything about it. At that point there aren't enough cops to arrest all the people who decide to come out and I really don't think the appetite to get the national guard involved nationwide is there.

#9 There is a shortage of masks, fever thermometers, and testing kits, and etc. If Trump can figure out a way to address those problems and get more drugs and a vaccine into the pipeline, he can sodomize Nancy on the White House front lawn.

#10 Ewwwww

#11 Remember your lock down was done by your governor, not the Prez. Heh. Like I said, prepping the battlefield. With all the models now bogus with a major flattening out, he can say he wasn't the one who panicked and put you into incarceration.

#12 We can't spare this man: he fights.
