Getting sick with Covid-19 didn't change Trump's approach to politics. If anything, his trip to the hospital amplified it, writes NBC News' Jonathan Allen. Trump's strength-at-all-costs messaging Tuesday, which appeared to undermine both the stock market and his own party's strategy on a coronavirus relief bill, represents a more highly concentrated version of the regular Trump. In that way, he became the embodiment of his broader message on a pandemic that has killed 210,000 Americans and crashed the economy: it's not that bad and he has been uniquely suited to combat it, Allen writes. The problem with that tack, from a political standpoint, is that most voters think Trump has mishandled the national response to the coronavirus. |
