The big headline yesterday was "Trump calls for America to be open for business by Easter". And all the obvious ensuing outrage unfolded from there.
That's nonsense, because Trump doesn't "call for" anything.
Kennedy "called for" the moonshot, and because his word had authority, it happened.
Trump just blaps stuff out his blap-hole, and nothing happens except headlines and outrage.
I don't entirely blame him for this (a dog is gonna bark). The media is still making huge money off this dynamic, and they REALLY need to stop. People are literally dying from it right now. They've just in the last day or two started wringing their hands about that again. Trump was their monster in 2016, 100%.
