To the Editor:

Last week the president got mixed up again. The subject that confused him this time was theology. During his COVID-19 press briefing last Tuesday he announced that by Easter he’d “open up the country.” The previous morning he’d tweeted his thought that it was time to start rolling back COVID-19 mitigation measures that suppress the economy.

I’m not certain the word “thought” is an accurate characterization of the president’s decision process.
