He was the same clown saying it was a hoax and no worse than the flu. Him downplaying this won't score him points.

Trump fashions himself as a "Strong man"...He has no other platform...He runs on being an asshole.

Look how he behaved on Tuesday...he does not have any decency. People vote for him because he's the world's biggest A-hole, not because he's a nice guy etc.

Remember when Poppy Bush threw up?

will be Trumps refusal to wear masks and his demand that the people around him also not wear them.

It will also remind everyone that COVID isn't declining or going away. It's everywhere, including in the West Wing. It highlights how terribly Trump has done.

The last thing Trump wants is for Coronavirus to be the biggest story right now, and that's what it is going to be.
