Like him or not, for us in IL, I have found Pritzker to be a good speaker.
He may be a good speaker, but has proven himself to be a hack beholden to the public sector unions. Nearly everything he has done since taking office has been a net negative for the state, IMO.
Agreed, but he has had understandable, effective communications during his press conferences on the virus.
And ran into this from Scaramucci on Trump. Interesting to watch. Yep, short snippets, likely out of context, but generally shows the trajectory of his thinking.

No need for anyone to make excuses for him (and, not accusing you of doing so). Sometimes there IS enough context.
Just received an email containing the below. Does it contain enough context? Or, does it need more?
And, could you ever imagine a debate between him and Biden??!! We might have a new national malady called, "Swivel Head Syndrome". With the way the two of them flit from thought to thought without ever finishing one we'll all be constantly swiveling our heads in a futile attempt to follow what each is saying!

Trump Just Told Unemployed People To Keep Getting Their Paychecks
Sat, Mar 21st, 2020 by Jason Easley
Trump was asked what he wants people to do who just lost their jobs due to the coronavirus. He told them to keep getting their paychecks.
Here was the exchange:
Reporter: For those people who have lost their jobs already, or they’re worried about to lose it tomorrow, what do you want them to do now?
Trump: What they do right now is keep receiving their paychecks. Hopefully, their companies will been in a strong position. We want to keep everything together. We think we’ll have a tremendous bounce back. Some people agree with that strongly, some of our top economists say once we solve the problem, we’re working on the medical problem. So we want them to keep their jobs, stay where you are, and we’ll see what happens. If they don’t, we unemployment, checks, a lot of very positive things.”
