It's funny as I read daily news and read here the odd trends I see.

- When the economy was doing very well, and Cons celebrated the great job Trump was doing, Progs reminded us it really wasn't Trump's economy at all but merely a continuation of Obama's!
- This Spring when the whole Covid thing started, Trump tried to lead and institute a national plan for reopening the economy around Easter Sunday but all the Democrat governors all had a conniption saying these were STATE decisions, not within the purview of Trump or the Fed. They would oversee localized plans.
- When States called for longer and deeper shutdowns, Trump warned that this was not just a health issue but an economic and social one as well, and health or not, remaining shutdown too long too hard would have serious backlash and repercussions but the governors and democrats just laughed. "It's not your decision!" they told him.
- Protests began to follow, escalating into riots and violence with many dead, yet the Democrats pulled back in support, bashing Trump for getting involved to stop them, arresting people for taking down BLM signs, even painting it in giant 14 foot letters promoting it as a good and necessary social event.
- But now that the election is upon us, the rioting has grown way out of control, many people have been harmed, crime is way up, the economy is way down, and public opinion has turned very sour, somehow now the Democrats have swung back full circle to this being "Trump's America" all over again! They are repeating it everywhere how this is TRUMP'S America despite Covid not going well anywhere, and the economy and riots being largely a thing of THEIR creation!

Constitutional Experts: Trump Lacks Power to 'Open Up the States' - FactCheck.org
Constitutional experts say President Donald Trump is wrong that he, not governors, has the power to "open up the states."


Trump or governors: Who’s the boss?
William Galston writes that the president does not have the power to force governors to cease their lockdowns in response to COVID-19. The role the federal government can most effectively play, he writes, is in steering industry toward producing more protective equipment and ventilators.
