The coronavirus briefings offer a window into the 2020 challenges for President Donald Trump, who must appear in control while keeping in check his personal grievances
President Donald Trump spent the weekend vacillating between casting himself as an empathetic leader and wartime president as the coronavirus spreads through the United States.
Even as he repeatedly offered comfort and hope to a nervous American public — "no American is alone as long as we're united,” he said — Trump would fall back into familiar tropes from his campaign. He attacked the press. He decried the sacrifices that he made as a rich person in choosing to run for office.
“During this event, candid and forceful truths will do us a lot more than sugarcoating false assurances, or only trying to present this only in the best light,” said Craig Fugate who ran the Federal Emergency Management Agency under President Barack Obama from 2009 until early 2017. Trump tried to combat these complaints by announcing over the weekend that his administration intended to send thousands of masks, hospital gowns and respirators to hard hit states, including New York, California and Washington, early this week. Two government ships are also making their way to both New York and the West Coast to serve as extra hospital beds, the president said on Sunday night.
White House officials note they are working overtime to combat the coronavirus outbreak, freeing up billions in government funding, clamping down on travel and tweaking regulations to expand health care options and ease the shipping of supplies to states and cities.
