Trumps Say-COVID, COVID, COVID: In Trumps Final Chapter, a Failure to Rise to the Moment

WASHINGTON - It was a bitterly cold Wednesday, election day was over, and President Donald Trump was even more angry than usual at the blatant focus of the Corona virus.

"You are killing me! That's the thing! We all have a case of drought, "said Trump, who won a meeting of top aides at the Oval Office on August 19, and Jared Kushner, his suit and senior counsel." I want to do what Mexico does. They will not test you until you get to the emergency room and you will be turned upside down.

Mexico may have the record for fighting the virus in the United States. But the president has long examined that epidemic is not an important way to track and cure the disease, but rather a way to make it appear worse by deflecting the number of uninsured cases.

And he was particularly disturbed that day after being notified by Dr. Francis S. Collins, of the National Institute of Health, that he had approved the day before to use the government as a recovery plasma treatment. Some Trump wanted to be promoted as a big personal victory at the Republican National Convention next week.

"They are Democrats! They are against me! "He believes that the top government doctors and scientists are plotting to reduce him," he said. "They want to wait!"

At the end of the summer and fall, in the heat of an election campaign that he would lose, and in the face of growing evidence of murders and deaths, much worse than Spring, Trump's crisis management - a random, non-cient year with politics. Scientific and color-less in effect was the same question: what does this mean?

The result, according to negotiations with more than two dozen current and former administration officials and others in contact with the White House, was an extended situation. Not only did Trump end the defeat by defeating Biden, but gave him the opportunity to rise to that moment in the last chapter of his presidency and meet his honorable challenge.

His assistants tried to attract him to the promotion of masquerade, one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent the spread of disease, and he was excluded from his belief that his political base was in conflict with anything. Which threatens to limit their personal freedom. Even the polling data of his own campaign couldn't resist it.

The apparent demand for her vaccine by Election Day - a push that came together with head health aides at a controversial Oval Office meeting - became a misguided alternative to warning the nation that its inability to act on social distances And other transformational efforts will contribute to a slow disaster disaster this winter.

His concern? The man he called Biden of "Gray" who was leading him in the elections, not a borrower with a vaccine

The government's public health specialists were all but quiet after Dr. Scott W. Atlas's arrival in August, a Stanford professor of neuroradiology appeared on Fox News

With Dr. Deborah L. Berks, Counselor of the White House Virus Task Force, Atlas became the only Dr. Trump to increase influence and, most of the way. His views, some of which scientists ignored, such as what the president wanted to say: the virus has gone up, the death toll has increased, the scrutiny has been increased, Lockdown does the most harm.
