The president is really playing -- and Jessica knows this better than I do. The president is on a dual track policy. On one hand he's trying to set up all the obstruction and blaming the Republicans for stopping things. On the other hand, he's using the executive power of the presidency to try to get some positive things done as he did today on housing and refinancing housing.

I think it's going to take something usually unexpected or a dramatic change in his health or a prison sentence to stop him.
Sadly, you know, I think for a variety of reasons he should not. I just, I don't think either Trump or Biden should be running.
If he comes out and throws cold water on this, then I don't think it goes anywhere.
I think, basically, this is about power. I think he wants to cripple Joe Biden before he ever gets started.
