By refusing to wear a facemask on camera, Trump signaled to core supporters that he stands with their demands to get the country back to normal, despite his public health officials' warnings about a possible return of coronavirus | Analysis by StCollinson
The President gave every impression Thursday of battling for his political life during a visit to Michigan, a state that crystallizes the themes of his bid for a second term and that could be decisive in his clash with Democrat Joe Biden. It was his most explicit display yet of his plans to beat treacherous pandemic politics and criticism of his leadership in pursuit of an even more logic-busting victory than in 2016.
