US president wants to ask voters to focus on his promise of 'spectacular' economic recovery. FMTNews Trump
Donald Trump, who calls himself a ‘wartime president’, will appear for a 2-hour ‘town hall’.
Trump faces criticism for his bruising, divisive style during a time of national calamity, and is accused by some of having botched the early response to the Covid-19 virus. That audacious shift begins Sunday at possibly the most hallowed monument in the country – the statue of Abraham Lincoln, who led the country through civil war, urged reconciliation, and was assassinated in his moment of triumph.
It’s a play that will emphasise Trump’s massive visibility advantage over Biden and, the White House hopes, rewrite the public relations script after gaffes including the president’s suggestion that coronavirus patients ingest disinfectant.Lincoln took the gamble in 1861 that only war could preserve the United States by ending slavery and restoring the nation’s ideals of freedom – and he won.
To underline this patriotic self-confidence, he announced a series of flyovers by the military display team, the Blue Angels, including one over Washington, DC, on Saturday.Despite Trump’s eagerness to get the economy – and his re-election hopes – moving, medical experts warn premature reopening could bring a disastrous resurgence.
As the decision on whether to reopen becomes ever more politicised, Trump has encouraged street protests against the lockdown.
