Danged if you do

I was surprised to find Mark Bordsen last week calling for President Trump to take charge of the COVID-19 shutdown and the countywide reopening from the shutdown. As I recall last April when Trump said he was going to use his federal powers to orchestrate the nation's virus response it was the Blue State governors Inslee, Cuomo, Newsom, Whitmer, et al, that essentially said, “no, you are not―that is our job.” They stated the 10th amendment gave that responsibility to them―not him. They charged that the President was trying to be a dictator. Trump then folded (not verbally but actually) and let the governors take it on. Now he is being excoriated for giving in to the Blue State governors. I don’t get it. Maybe its danged if you do…and danged if you don’t.
