President Trump sees honest medical information as a political threat
Photo: Drew Angerer/Getty Images In 1941, the Soviet Union had a two-year-long nonaggression pact with Nazi Germany. Joseph Stalin not only refused to believe intelligence suggesting an imminent German attack, but treated any reports of such a threat as a hostile plot. The Red Army suffered devastating losses because its officials were terrified to convey accurate reporting of the threat they faced.
Trump’s incentive, as always, is absolutely transparent, like watching a simple machine encased in glass. He is perfectly amoral and projects his amorality onto others. Under the Obama administration, he wildly and recklessly hyped the Ebola threat to discredit the administration for political gain, and has assumed his own opponents will naturally do the same to him. He has therefore focused on minimizing the coronavirus threat and demanded his administration do the same.
Trump has called attacks on his management of the crisis “their new hoax,” and repeatedly emphasized the sunniest aspects of the situation. Privately he has raged at experts within his administration for publicly admitting that the coronavirus may spread. He has suggested vaccines will be available sooner than any expert believes possible.
