New from @kristenHCNN and @DanaBashCNN: "According to sources inside the White House and others familiar with the discussions, there is now a belief that it will be near impossible to get President Trump to steer away from the May 1 reopening of the economy date."

"Because of the President& #39;s laser focus on May 1, people around him are helping find ways to give him ways to make the announcement he craves, but do it responsibly." Small, regional "re-openings?" Whatever happens, it& #39;ll be largely symbolic, a source told Holmes and Bash.

One of the many strange things about Trump& #39;s fixation on May 1 as a "reopening" date: It& #39;s a Friday.
