Trump Waves the White Flag

First Read: “Let’s be blunt about it: President Trump signaled Tuesday that he’s surrendering in the country’s fight against the coronavirus.”

“He did that by announcing his administration has begun to wind down its coronavirus taskforce… He also did it by conceding there will be more death as a result of the reopening.”

“This white flag from Trump comes as the United States is only treading water when it comes to beating back the virus. While the curve of new coronavirus cases has declined in the New York area, it hasn’t elsewhere. It also comes at a when most Americans are willing to stay at home.”
