"He's now in his closet with mattresses around, and he knows he's going to be there for the next 12 to 24 hours."

"I would say, in the midst of all this tragedy, this has been the best week of this president's entire presidency."
George Stephanopoulos pointed out what a good job Trump has done of telling people to obey local officials.
And Matthew Dowd noted that Trump has been "on task."
How far can the bar for competency drop? This far.
