Please Politicize the State Department and FDA; It Beats the Alternative

The latest line of attack against President Donald Trump is that he's inserting politics into government matters.
This has come up on at least two fronts recently — U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's speech to the Republican National Convention, and the federal Food and Drug Administration's emergency-use approval of convalescent plasma as a therapy for Covid-19 patients. In both cases, it's an attack that reflects more poorly on the assumptions of Trump's critics than on Trump himself.
