Trump only shifted his tone as the coronavirus virus spread to "Trump country."

Why Trump Changed Tack on the Pandemic

Gabriel Sherman reports that President Trump only shifted his tone as the coronavirus virus spread to “Trump country.”

Said one former White House official: “The polling sucked. The campaign panicked about the numbers in red states. They don’t expect to win states that are getting blown to pieces with coronavirus.”

The only "tone" I noticed was the flat dtone of his voice as he sounded out the words in the statement. And I would bet he didn't understand most of what he was reading.

He doesn't care about ANYBODY but himself and how he can win again. However, if those that can make it happen aren't happpy, IQ45 ain't happy either!

Thanks, Trumpy!
