Just Because


No, the hard part is:  governance.  You clearly don't know how to. Nor does anybody in your administration.

The number of deaths in the U.S. is the highest of any country, and you're worried about your press coverage? In one week the number of deaths went up by 150%, and you are concerned with a New York Times story that apparently is true because you can't refute a single fact in it.  Nor can you pay attention to these facts:


The number of cases is up 70% and you prate about "opening the country" as if you had the power to open so much as a shopping mall, when the truth is you couldn't open a matchbox.

Do you begin to imagine the number of cases reported by May 12 is going to be zero?  Do you imagine it doesn't matter, that people will do what you tell them to do?  You imagined you cut off all transit from China (you didn't), do you imagine you can order 327 million people to do your bidding? And now you think it's in your best interest (not the country's; you are incapable of considering the country as having any interest at all, except in re-electing you) to fire Dr. Fauci, one of the few competent people left in your Administration?

Maybe this is a good idea:

It won't help one more person in America:  one more patient, family member, hospital worker, doctor, EMT, nurse, techician, grocery clerk, cashier, restaurant worker (maybe we are finally realizing how important "working people" are to this country), but it would help be sure someone like you never again sits in the Oval Office behind the Resolute Desk:

It would do that much good, which is about as much good as we can hope for right now.
