During his first coronavirus briefing in a very long time on Tuesday, Donald Trump successfully posed as a president who was willing to acknowledge at least some of the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic. “It will probably, unfortunately, get worse before it gets better,” explained Trump, who has repeatedly and recently insisted that the coronavirus would “disappear” . Trump added that his it-will-get-worse prognosis was “something I don’t like saying about things, but that’s the way it is.
Indeed, the president’s attempt at a new tone has followed not just a horrifying surge of U.S. coronavirus cases and deaths and ongoing economic malaise since many states began prematurely reopening in May, but also reports that some of his advisors and allies have been trying to convince him that his mishandling of the COVID-19 was a big-time political loser among the American electorate.
Still in parts of that interview, and on Monday and Tuesday, there have been signs of glacial progress in Trump’s public stance on the pandemic — whatever the motive is for that.
