Shrug Emoji du Jour


Trump is apparently itching to "reopen the economy", which of course an idiot like he would:
Trump and his allies know he needs to come up with some argument why the economic devastation we're facing is not his fault. (It is his fault.) More importantly, they'll need someone else to blame. This chatter about "reopening" is about laying the groundwork for that. Come fall, Trump will argue that he wanted to save the economy and get everybody back to work, but the "deep state" wouldn't let him. He'll try to use this ruined economy as evidence that he should be re-elected to take on this supposed conspiracy of embedded liberal-socialist traitors.
Well, as a candidate he did say, "I alone can fix it!"
