Exactly as President Obama was under a vicious attack from Republicans and Fox (not to mention extreme alt-right outlets) from day 1 of his administration.

See how that works?

Trump was also taking golf trips in February and holding rallies...so he clearly wasn't so "distracted" by impeachment. His statements minimizing the virus are all on video and easy to find...unless you think the liberal media doctored the tapes.

But OF COURSE he wanted to minimize and wish it all away for a few weeks. He owns hotels and resorts for goodness sake! Not to mention, he had a vested interest in avoiding a stock market crash...not because he cares about the average person and his/her savings, but because of concern about impact on his reelection. He shifted when advisors began warning him that high death rates would not be good for reelection.

Trump is a likely sociopath and a con artist who has done a wonderful job of culling a coalition of religious hypocrites (how could any self-proclaimed evangelical Christian NOT be a hypocrite to even be in the same room as Donald Trump?); the working class racist voting block; so-called red blooded patriots (most of whom can't answer questions from a Civics and Government 101 test) and the amoral portion of the ultra-rich (his TRUE beneficiaries - especially in his own family).

He knows that he has to be re-elected because he will spend the rest of his life, once out of office, facing numerous state prosecutions -- not to mention civil suits. He's got to pack as many courts as he can until that time!
