Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) claimed that the federal government’s lagging response to the novel COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak was at least partially attributable to the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
✄
McConnell’s argument sparked immediate backlash from law professors, several of whom noted that the actual timeline of the government’s response to the pandemic belied McConnell’s claims, which appeared to suggest that Trump was incapable of concentrating on more than one thing at a time.
“Trump was acquitted by the Senate on February 5—but didn’t declare a national emergency to address COVID-19 until March 13,” professor Stephen Vladeck of the University of Texas School of Law wrote.
“Even accepting this nonsense argument (Presidents can’t do two things at once??), that’s 37 days after acquittal without any meaningful federal action.”

Some governors are complaining that they are not getting resources they need from Trump. Obviously, they are not following the correct protocol.
This is inexcusable. The correct protocol for dealing with Trump has been known for a long time:

Hey, if you’re already living with someone, be cautious but you don’t have to isolate.
But good toon, Stantis.
