The New York Times editorial board might not be self-aware enough to raise an eyebrow at what they’ve written here, but others will know it when they see it:
President Trump needs to call for a two-week shelter-in-place order, now, as part of a coherent national strategy for the coronavirus to protect Americans and their livelihoods https://t.co/MTKgl51IDB

Things really have come full circle!
Before Corona – "Trump is acting like a dictator!"
After Corona – "Trump needs to act like a dictator!"— James Costopoulos (@JamesCostopoul1) March 24, 2020
Amazing, isn’t it?
So … now you WANT him to be a dictator? Unlike some, I'll shelter in place for the good of my neighbor.
I don't need an order. https://t.co/hzGu0QTCtI

Liberals are going insane because President Trump won't act the part of dictator they've concocted in their fever dreams. https://t.co/VIib6IIBeF

There are those at the Times who have warned that Trump wants to be a dictator. Paul Krugman has been one of them:
Trump isn’t a dictator — not yet, anyway — but he clearly has totalitarian instincts, writes @PaulKrugman https://t.co/O7dM6Z02qb

Trump is a dictator wannabe, with no respect whatsoever for democratic norms. Sadly, elected Republicans have fallen in line behind him. https://t.co/D9a1Zhs5Rw

But now it’s “why won’t Trump act with more authority”? Please.
I’d rather he consult with Dr Fauci than with a group of ‘opinion journalists’. https://t.co/NoP0hznILc
