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'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'll be largely symbolic, a source told Holmes and Bash.

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