Trump Said to Be Terrified of Coronovirus

Gabriel Sherman: “As Trump pushes a nothing-to-see-here message in public, sources said he’s privately terrified about getting the virus… Stories about Trump’s coronavirus fears have spread through the White House. Last week Trump told aides he’s afraid journalists will try to purposefully contract coronavirus to give it to him on Air Force One… The source also said Trump has asked the Secret Service to set up a screening program and bar anyone who has a cough from the White House grounds.”

Said a source: “He’s definitely melting down over this.”

“But thus far Trump’s private concerns haven’t affected his public response.”
