Newly released recording reveals Trump's strange disconnect about a pandemic he called a 'monster' and a 'scourge.'
Now Trump’s being treated for the coronavirus at Walter Reed Hospital.
In an April 13 interview for his book “Rage,” Woodward asked the president about his fears of contracting the disease. “You’re risking getting it, of course,” Woodward warned him in the recorded interview. “The way you move around and have those briefings and deal with people. Are you worried about that?”Trump responded: “I don’t know. I’m just not.”
In a strange disconnect, the president had also described the coronavirus to Woodward as “deadly stuff,” a “plague” that “rips you apart,” a “scourge” and a “monster.” He warned Woodward that the virus is “so easily transmissible, you wouldn’t even believe it.” “It moves rapidly, Bob,” Trump said in an earlier tape. “It moves rapidly and viciously. If you’re the wrong person and if it gets you, your life is pretty much over if you’re in the wrong group. You know what I mean. It’s a tough deal.”“I wanted to always play it down,” Trump told Woodward in March. “I still like playing it down, because I don’t want to create a panic.”Trump admitted on tape to Bob Woodward that he played down the threat of coronavirus.
