The āmessagingā aspect to what T should do in relation to this EPIC Coronavirus situation. Tās closest handlers - Meadows, Kushner, Hicks all want T to lay low and only speak about the economy. Others like VP Pence wants T to take up the CV issue.
Seems like the handlers just need T propped upā¦doing his economy-campaign speak. Thatās a sure fire way to keep T out of more trouble.
The Trump White House has a new internal battle: how much to talk publicly about a pandemic thatās crippling huge swaths of America.
President Donald Trumpās top aides are divided over the merits of resuming national press briefings to keep the public informed about the latest coronavirus statistics as infection rates spike in large states including California, Texas, Florida, Arizona and Georgia.
Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows, senior adviser Jared Kushner, press secretary Kayleigh McEnany and counselor to the president Hope Hicks are among the aides arguing against these regular sessions because they want to keep the White House focused on the path forward and the nascent economic recovery ā without scaring too much of the country about a virus resurgence when infections are rising at different paces in different regions.
Other senior aides, as well as Vice President Mike Pence and his team, believe keeping Americans up-to-date about the nature of the outbreak is critical as the death toll rises. More than 126,000 people have perished in the U.S. due to the coronavirus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the governmentās own experts are warning of serious trouble ahead.
