Trump Surrenders and leaves the battlefield. Trump will not discuss his Coronavirus losses.

White House Wants Trump To Pivot From Coronavirus To The Economy

After two months of frantic response to the coronavirus, the White House is planning to shift President Donald Trump’s public focus to the burgeoning efforts aimed at easing the economic devastation caused by the pandemic.

Days after he publicly mused that scientists should explore the injection of toxic disinfectants as a potential virus cure, Trump has now rejected the utility of his daily task force briefings, where he has time and again clashed with scientific experts. Trump’s aides are aiming to move the president onto more familiar — and safer, they hope — ground: talking up the economy, in tighter controlled settings.

As in, the fix is in. Look at what his crime family is doing and his connections, etc.

Yup, he'll fix it really good if he can. The Republicans have been counting on that because corruption is still too hard.

He’ll screw up that message just as much. It’s not the message but the messenger that’s a problem. The demented fool just can’t help himself.

Force Trump to continue to answer questions about the deaths, the shortages in supplies, the crumbling food supply train.

Trump is running. Don't let him stop and build a defense.
