I believe your assessment is accurately shared by many.
Now we have him taking over the COVID19 briefings so he can rewrite HIS story.
People will soon stop watching the briefings because Trump is leading them. We know he can't be trusted, so how can we now be expected to trust what he says? The briefings about the health crisis should be placed back in the hands of the experts.
Yesterday Trump said he knew this was a Pandemic before anyone else- words to that effect. Yet his messaging did not reflect this until the global markets crashed. He was giddy on Monday reporting FRB had done another emergency rate cut over the weekend.
Pence is reporting “ at the direction of POTUS”, he visited 3M yesterday’ about increasing production of masks.
YESTERDAY.
Trump is very defensive and doubling down on deflecting, today. Not a good optic.
As he stands shoulder to shoulder with Task Force members, he is criticizing the media for sitting too close together and telling those he does not like to leave.

And Pence is his ***** running interference. Hey, he figures he'll have abortion made illegal with another Trump election win and Ginsburg replaced. More important than anything to him I'm sure.
Just when you think things couldn't get more chaotic, Kushner is on the case.
The son-in-law/real estate swindler who lied on his security clearance forms, tried to set up a back channel with Russian embassy to avoid American intel, helped cover up Khashoggi's murder, pitched that dead-on-arrival annexation plan in Middle East, ... "helped write Trump’s widely panned prime-time Oval Office address last week that sent markets into a free fall," and "orchestrated a Rose Garden news conference where Trump announced a ramped-up testing effort" that turned out to be a pipe dream "has created his own team of government allies and private industry representatives to work alongside the administration’s official coronavirus task force, adding another layer of confusion and conflicting signals within the White House’s disjointed response to the crisis."
"Kushner defended his role in an interview, saying his team’s goal was to bring “an entrepreneurial approach” to the crisis."
"Kushner’s team is causing confusion among many officials involved in the response, who say they are unsure who is in charge given Kushner’s dual role as senior adviser and Trump family member. Some have privately dubbed his team a “shadow task force” whose requests they interpret as orders they must balance with regular response efforts."
"the involvement of outside advisers — who are emailing large groups of government employees from private email addresses — also raises legitimate security concerns about whether these advisers are following proper government protocols."
"Some officials involved in the coronavirus efforts said they do not know who is in charge and whether Pence’s team has been sidelined."
“Bringing an entrepreneurial approach.” Translation: Looking for ways to make money from a global health crisis.

Trump’s son-in-law had a deeper role in this health tech company than previously reported.

Speculation on my part, the Task Force/ Pence now have a dotted line to Kushner. Trump does not seem to trust anyone beyond his immediate family who are focused on Trump 2020.

It is a lie that masks are available. I have family members who are health care workers in hospitals. They are rationing masks already in a state that has 44 cases. The reason is, once again, the failure of the testing program. It is taking 5-7 days to rule out COVID-19 in a patient and all the while they need to use PPE as if the person has it.

Yesterday ordered more masks?
Just read where hospital personnel are making masks from supplies bought at hobby shops.
Did he just suggest that he should limit access to his press conferences to those he liked (and who will hand him softball questions)...in the name of social distancing?
