No sugar-coating: Trump changes tack on coronavirus crisis

There was no sugar-coating it this time. No optimistic talk of miracle cures or Easter-time business re-openings."I want every American to be prepared for the hard days that lie ahead," a grave-faced Donald Trump said in his Tuesday afternoon press conference.How painful? When the president was asked how many Americans are currently projected to die from the virus given even the current mitigation efforts, he said it was better if his medical experts responded.

"No-one is denying that we're going through a very, very difficult time," said Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases."That's what it is." Of course, it was just a week ago the president himself was making exactly such comparisons, noting that the early fatality numbers were much less than those from the flu or even automobile accidents.What this crisis reveals about US and TrumpHe spoke of checking in on a friend who was in the hospital with the virus - "a little older, and he's heavy, but he's tough person" - only to find out he was now in a coma.

Yes; trump’s bluster, defiance, implacable self-promotion and deviation from the truth that served him well among his followers in the old context ARE EVIDENCE OF HIS FAILED LEADERSHIP AND A FAILED PRESIDENCY in today’s trying times.

Again?

News you won't see on the biased BBC

When you look at the UK's CV update compared to the USA, there is no comparison. Trump's lack of taking this seriously will result that there are going to be huge numbers of deaths in the USA

To be fair. Boris was the same.

His speech or rather ramblings last night were just unbelievable - the rubbish coming out of his mouth was truly something

A few weeks ago he said it was a hoax. A few days ago he implied medical staff were selling facemasks out the 'back door'. More than once, he has marvelled at his 'ratings' at these briefings.

Propagandist BBC again. This publicly funded (compulsory fee levied under threat of prosecution) broadcaster supposedly has a governing charter constraining it to truthful, balanced reporting. Yet it's done nothing but disseminate skewed pc leftist propaganda for decades.

US UK were arrogant pride now they are nation of virus so degrading disgusting disgraceful . virus destroyed your arrogant ness, let them fear Allah.

In India they are blaming Muslims for corona now only cow urine will save them

There 's no sugar coating this either...

No sugarcoating? That’ll be the day President Trump faces up to the consequences of his deadly happy talk by admitting it’s time for a national stay-at-home policy And ends his attacks on the ACA, and acknowledges the desperate need for a public health system

We've been here before, the 'finally he's being Presidential' moment - it lasted about 2 days before, this won't last as long as that, he'll be back on his bullshit today, look for an attack on Biden.

No one believes anything that imbecil attempts to say.
