The country is confronting a “foreign virus,” Trump told the nation Wednesday
Facing criticism for his handling of the spread of COVID-19 inside the U.S., President Donald Trump has repeatedly resorted to a familiar reflex: blame foreigners.
On Tuesday, in response to a tweet about the “China Virus,” Trump wrote that the wall is “Going up fast. We need the Wall more than ever!” Within hours, Rep. Katherine Clark, a Democrat from Massachusetts, asked the director of the CDC, Robert Redfield, during a Congressional hearing whether there were any agency recommendations that border barriers would be “of any use in mitigation” the outbreak of COVID-19. “Not that I’ve seen,” Redfield said.
After a week that saw precipitous drops in the stock market, major conventions canceled and the NBA suspend its season, Trump’s primetime address Wednesday evening was a moment that called for Presidential bearing, a command of the facts, and an authoritative and calm demeanor.
