The restaurants have to be crowded, car dealerships flush with sales, planes full of tourists.&nbsp;&nbsp;That won\u2019t happen overnight, Trump needs the economy to \u201cre-open\u201d by June to even have a shot at Labor Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nonfeasance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To get that done, states have to drop their \u201cshelter-in-place\u201d orders, and let business resume again.\u00a0\u00a0But there\u2019s one problem:\u00a0\u00a0the only scientific evidence we have is that the shelter-in-place orders are only way to keep the virus in some kind of check.\u00a0\u00a0South Dakota shows what happens without any restrictions. They had a 12% increase in cases, the highest in the nation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the President steps forward and demands states relax restrictions and the infection rates soars, his elections chances will plummet.&nbsp;&nbsp;If the President doesn\u2019t get the economy going again, his chances will still fall.&nbsp;&nbsp;How can he avoid both?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a series of legal terms:\u00a0\u00a0malfeasance, misfeasance, and nonfeasance.\u00a0\u00a0Malfeasance is to intentionally do something illegal while holding office.\u00a0\u00a0Misfeasance is to do something wrong, but not necessarily intentional.\u00a0\u00a0Nonfeasance is to fail to act, when an action is required.\u00a0\u00a0The President has a \u201cnonfeasance\u201d position regarding US actions during the crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strong Leaders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>He has claimed the power to deal with the crisis, but then sidestepped action and allowed state governors to determine individual responses.&nbsp;&nbsp;There are governors like Cuomo in New York, Inslee in Washington, Whitmer in Michigan and Newsome in California who have been aggressive in controlling their states and demanding more national action.&nbsp;&nbsp;We also have governors like DeWine in Ohio, who is quietly taking the necessary actions to protect his constituents, but avoiding political fights with Washington.&nbsp;&nbsp;And then, there are governors like DeSantis in Florida and Noem in South Dakota who seem unable to respond to their state\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that those governors are dealing with the problem, the President is quietly undercutting them.&nbsp;&nbsp;He publicly said that, \u201c\u2026some governors are getting carried away.\u201d His Twitter feed called for citizens to&nbsp;&nbsp;\u201cliberate\u201d Virginia, Minnesota and Michigan, encouraging armed protests against state interventions.&nbsp;&nbsp;And he demands that states re-open, but steps back and fails to take responsibility for the viral consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All Credit, No Blame<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Trump campaign strategy is to claim all the credit, and take none of the blame.&nbsp;&nbsp;If governors find they cannot \u201copen\u201d their states without fanning the flames of COVID-19, it\u2019s their fault.&nbsp;&nbsp;If they can, it\u2019s Trump\u2019s success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the Trump campaign continues their same old plan:&nbsp;&nbsp;destroy trust in American institutions, the press, the courts, and most importantly, the non-partisan structures of government.&nbsp;&nbsp;The \u201cdeep-state\u201d attack continues, not just against the intelligence agencies, but now against those departments we depend on to protect our health.&nbsp;&nbsp;It was no mistake that Trump\u2019s twitter repeated a call to \u201cfire Fauci\u201d, and that his media followers at OANN and FOX have continually attacked the creditability of government scientists.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when Trump voters don\u2019t like what the scientists say as they stand on the podium beside the President, then the Trump message on social media is go ahead and ignore them.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s a plan to win the election, even if it will assuredly cost thousands of vulnerable lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And what about Joe Biden?&nbsp;&nbsp;He\u2019s presenting a clear Presidential strategy to deal with the crisis, detailed and straightforward.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So the Trump campaign must somehow blame the Biden as part of the Obama administration, and now seems to be trying to tie Biden to China.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This election should be about competence and accountability.&nbsp;&nbsp;If it is, then Donald Trump will be a one-term president.&nbsp;&nbsp;He\u2019s depending on the cold hand of Brad Parscale to change the narrative, and alter the outcome.&nbsp;&nbsp;After his successes in 2016, nothing can be taken for granted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facebook The cold hand of Brad Parscale, social media guru and manager of the Trump campaign, is all over the Internet.&nbsp;&nbsp;On Twitter, and particularly on Facebook, he is pushing the Trump narrative.&nbsp;
