Faux news wants Trump to get points for acknowledging virus getting worse... gets pushback
https://www.foxnews.com/media/trump-admits-virus-getting-worse-press-pans-him-anywayTrump admits virus getting worse, press pans him anyway
But isn’t it a positive step for Trump, after many weeks of playing down the coronavirus, to say “it will probably, unfortunately, get worse before it gets better”?
Isn’t it a step in the right direction for the president to stop talking about little “embers” around the country and say we also have “big fires,” naming Florida as an example? Especially with a surge in new cases in the South and West, and the country surpassing 1,000 deaths in a single day?

He rightfully is being panned. What he has brought on this country through negligence, greed and mis-information will not be forgotten.
Of course hes being panned. Too little too late. He's been his own worse enemy. And now you Trump supporters are like a dog biting it's own tail, just getting madder and madder.
Trump supporters please tell him to cool out, he's his own worst enemy. We need him to have a second term to keep the country from going off a cliff to the Left. He gonna increase Democratic turnout which is the only way he could lose.
Of course they pan him for it, and they should. The supposed leader of the free world shouldn't be forced to "admit" obvious reality. The fact that he "admits" it is exactly the problem, kinda like "admitting" the sky is blue... and even then it's obvious that he's only doing it out of desperation caused by polling. Maybe if he had "admitted" that reality exists from the start the response wouldn't have been such garbage and we wouldn't be looking at 150k+ dead and rising.
I give him credit. He tried hard not to sound insane. That might fool some people with very, very short memories, but what the heck, go for it.
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me 38,542 times, I must be a Trump cult member.

that comments section is VICIOUS!!! 
and he was dragged to it, kicking and screaming like the spoiled man-child that he is after significant delays that have resulted in American people dying.
