President Trump lashed out at criticism of his handling of the coronavirus crisis during a grievance-fueled appearance at the White House that featured a propaganda-like video he said was produced by his aides
The appearance only affirmed the impression that some of Trump's chief concerns amid the global public health disaster are how his performance is viewed in the media and whether he's being fairly judged.He clearly did not believe that was the case Monday. He stepped to the podium armed with a video meant to frame his response in a positive light after his initial handling of the crisis has come under increasing scrutiny.
Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, conceded to CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday morning that earlier mitigation efforts could have saved more lives and again called for a cautious reopening of the nation, despite Trump's calls to quickly restart the economy."You could logically say that if you had a process that was ongoing and you started mitigation earlier, you could have saved lives," Fauci said.
