Or, Americans are spoiled brats, confirmed.
This is a rightist warning that if Trump is forced into lockdown measures he will encounter resistance on the right relying on the rhetoric of mistrust so dear to the left.
Tom Nichols: Trump's Lost The Benefit Of The Doubt With Most Americans
"Looking at this as a matter of policy, I think the problem is that this president has lost the benefit of the doubt with a lot of people. so things like very draconian measures that look like curtailments of freedom, especially during an election season, are going to get a jaundiced eye from a lot of Americans.
"That's unfortunate. I don't say that because I somehow think the president would be up to no good doing that, or the team around him, or the doctors advising him.
"Rather, because of the president's track record, not just for three years, but especially in the past three months, where he has been really inconstant and lacked transparency and put out a lot of bad information.
"If the president and the White House tries to move forward now with, you know, these really draconian solutions, I think you're going to have people second-guessing him because, again, he's lost the benefit of the doubt among a lot of Americans.
"I think what they're doing is they're trying to edge us toward more tougher solutions incrementally, so that we can accept it more easily."
