Seems so simple.
But he can't.
He'd need to lead and he doesn't know how.
The GOP wouldn't back him up because using .government to help people goes against their philosophy of government.
His supporters would resist because masks have been politicized as "weak."

The lie machine (right wing media) can't rewind.Fox wouldn't back him up because it would require pulling together with Democrats for a common cause, and without Democrats as their "enemy" Fox has no purpose.2/
It isn't as simple as calling for a shutdown: people with resource would need support, we'd need testing and PPE, so pulling this together requires a degree of competence.Trump doesn't know how to actually manage anything.3/
Nobody around Trump knows how to manage anything (look at Kushner)He has dismantled (and never assembled) the parts of government capable of dealing with a pandemic.4/
If Trump acted now, it would be tantamount to admitting he should have done something earlier.He genuinely doesn't care if people die.He truly believes he's doing a good job and the press is being unfair to him, and the real problem with how it's being reported./5
All he has ever done is pretend to be a success. It's all he knows how to do. He can't change now.6/
Of course, I meant people without resources would need support.
This is Trump's idea of how to govern
That, and create chaos and spectacle, making sure he keeps his opponents riled and his supporters stoked.
It's the Trump Reality Show, each day.

They lie. That's what they do. Check out @senatemajldr's leader's latest
They don't worry about actually governing.
They take care of themselves and lie.

For what I meant in the first tweet about the GOP philosophy of government (why they don't believe the purpose of government is to help people--what they call a "welfare state) see this thread: https://twitter.com/Teri_Kanefield/status/1256745424485928960
