Trump’s Coronavirus Task Force Tries to Ignore Trump

Daily Beast: “Trump’s own aides and officials are aware that the president’s missives are at odds with the recommendations embraced by his top public-health experts. But rather than correct the record or even push back internally, they have tried to proceed as if the president didn’t just do what he had so clearly done.”

Said one senior official: “It is a pain in the ass sometimes, for sure. There isn’t much more some of us can do in that, except continue making sound policy recommendations and hope they sink in. Sometimes the president backs off on some things, sometimes he doesn’t. It’s his call.”
