What would he do that for? If you recall, in January _zero_ people other than the president gave any shit about the virus. We didn't have any cases until something like January 19. 3 days later they formed the working group, and on Jan 31 they closed flights with China (Biden and liberal media called the move "racist"). To remind you at the time everyone was busy with third attempt at "investigation" and impeachment. Invoking DPA would be a bit "interesting" under those circumstances, and the dems would howl that he's "authoritarian", just like they are beginning to howl about it now, when there's end in sight for this. Do I need to show you the headlines and clips from end of January to lengthen your attention span? Pelosi handing out pens and inviting people to Chinatown? DeBlasio telling people to ignore coronavirus? Every single liberal media outlet saying Trump is overreacting and this is no worse than a flu?
