Trump has almost nothing to lose. That’s why he
wants to reopen the economy.
“Pre-pandemic, Trump’s case for reelection could be
summed up as: “But the economy.” Ignore the racism, misogyny, abuses of power,
environmental destruction, kids in cages, the siphoning of taxpayer funds into
Trump-owned golf cart rentals. The economy has been good! And, rightly or
wrongly, voters credit him. So long as stocks are high and unemployment is low,
Americans might be willing keep him in charge.
Now, of course, that political strategy has collapsed.”
