Excellent editorial X and I wholeheartedly agree even though I have not watched a single Trump press conference because right from the start I have had faith that he will do the right thing. Also the smart thing. I also do not watch any news broadcasts, even Fox. I get my information off the internet. One needs to do some research and stop relying on the media for information.  Listening to the media is like getting information after it has been mashed in a blender and mixed with B.S. and lies.

Everyday I find myself more impressed with the hidden wisdom behind the Trump presidency.  He has shown remarkable savvy through the fake impeachment and has made the masterful moves of a chess grandmaster throughout the virus scare. 

He gets daily exposure from his daily press conferences where he emits a message of hope, concern, and clarity.  His presentation is enhanced through the two contributions by eminent and charismatic doctors Birx and Fauci speaking independently using real science, and spotlights all aspects of the devastating effects of the virus and the crisis by showcasing relevant cabinet members and the veep talking on their areas of control.  

And rather than making a unitary power play like Obama, Clinton, and the Bushes over the lives of 330 million Americans, he has instead in his best chess move, allowed the governors of the states to invoke what they feel best fits their state and offers assistance rather than dominance, a superior form of federalism, which has been what makes America strong and unique over its existence.  

This is classic Trump gamesmanship.  Each state's governor is forced to make tough decisions, decisions that ideally should be theirs to make, and will live with the consequences of those decisions.  Many Democrat governors and some Republican governors have taken the route that our governor has and went with disproportionate and job-killing executive orders enacting policies that President Trump would never do, and if he did, there would be a screaming mob from both parties and independents ready to impeach him again.

Trump and his team can suggest guidelines to follow without having to give the orders to follow for each state.  He can look smart in coordinating responses and solutions to problems where and when they arise when governors fail in the task, and get credit for the save.  He can be the beacon of hope, the light at the end of the tunnel, and in the end, there will be 50 Petri dishes with successful and failing cultures therein.  We can learn what works and what doesn't, and I have a suspicion that Michigan won't look like a success because of the silly orders that have come out of the governor's office. 

And you can also bet that the media will look even more foolish than they have over the last month trying to discredit the president from the poisonous groupthink they have festering in their bacteria-filled culture.  And every time they try to throw crap at the president hoping it will stick all they wind up with is shit-stained hands because he somehow transcends their subterfuges.

Whitmer is the all knowing politician. She is maneuvering herself to be in the running for vice president. We get what we vote for.

Lose your job.
Lose your business.
Lose your home.
Lose your freedom.
Go only where I say you can go.
Do only what I say you can do.
Disobey and I'll lock you in a cage for 93 days.
Resist and my officers can legally kill you.
Because there's a virus you have a 98% chance of surviving.

And less than 1/1000 Americans currently have it (As of April 5th).
