This is weird consider he was on Hannity last night, and argued that he doesn't believe the governors need all the ventilators they are asking for. What he said, was terrible. I wouldn't be surprised if he decided to invoke the PDA in order to save himself from his previous statements. I have heard reports that he has handlers and people calling, giving him advice on clean ups. He did it after his initial Charlottesville comments, Helsinki, and many other.
I am not going to condemn Trump for doing this. Our healthcare workers need help, and protection. However, Trump has a tendency to lie about details, so we will see how this actually works out.
On a side note, I have came to see another similarly between Rev Jim Jones, Trump, and their followers. Jones also had a clean up crew and PR team. They were called this Planning Commission/PC. They knew all of Jones' worst instincts and plans, including mass murdering the followers. The PC were the most loyal followers. They served to insulate Jones, create propaganda, and clean up his messes. Jones' followers did see a lot of his bad instincts. He even talked about mass suicide years before it happened. His followers, however, made a decision to ignore Jones' instincts and impulsive statements. Such instinctual behavior is the most revealing about the person you are following. Instead of recognizing the red flags, the followers rationalized all of his craziness... he didn't mean it, etc.
I personally talked to a Jonestown survivor, and she said, "the hardest thing about leaving a cult, is admitting you're wrong." You let a person define your worldview and reality. Once you buy in, it's hard to leave it. She wasn't totally buying into Jones in the end, but she couldn't bring herself to leave. She survived because she wasn't in Jonestown during the massacre.
