It is no surprise that Donald Trump is in so much political trouble due to the COVID-19 epidemic. Normally, when something as serious as a pandemic affects the country, the president gives a formal, Nationally televised speech from the Oval Office, explaining to the American people what is happening, what your administration is doing about it, and how you think it will be resolved.
Donald Trump has not done this. Instead, he has said confusing and inconsistent things when tweeting, when he meets the press on his way to the helicopter, or, much worse, when he organized a series of White House media events in which he discussed with journalists about the quality of his questions. It was, well, unbearable.
Due to the fact that he has given acceptable speeches on the state of the Union, and earlier this month he gave a good speech on the heritage of this country facing Mount Rushmore, we can discern who has competent speech writers and can read well from a teleprompter.
So why hasn’t he given a formal speech to the nation? about the pandemic that would make sense to the American people and restore some confidence in him as president? It’s hard to think of a plausible explanation and he The political pain you are experiencing now for not doing this simple thing should make you ask the same question.
Although the speech should have been given months ago, there are arguments why it should be given now. Although the media will criticize a speech by the Oval Office when the reelection campaign has started, talking to the American people at this point in the development of the pandemic–when polls show they’re still scared of the coronavirus and unsure what to do in the future–it would be difficult so that the media ignore.
There is much to say that could gives hope for the future. There are strong indications that the nation is approaching what is called “Herd immunity”: enough cases or others sources of immunity that the virus has difficulty spreading. That’s best way of explaining why New York and Italy, who were devastated by the virus, they now have cases and death rates close to zero. The medical community has a firmer understanding of the data, with the Centers for Disease Control deciding on an infection mortality rate of .03 percent.
the recent sprouts in Florida, Texas, Arizona and California are understandable as part of the same process–a temporary explosion that will eventually follow the same course, but much faster. The media, of course, focus on so-called “hotspots,” ignoring the strong national downward trend. in deaths that the president could show with some simple graphics. Such a speech would substantially help his effort to ensure that schools open in the fall.
Furthermore, judging by media reports, great progress has been made in therapeutics and vaccines. The president’s pressure on the science and medical professions for “Deformation speed” in the development of therapies and vaccines It has been successful. We were first told that the vaccines would not be available until early 2021, but at least two now appear to be undergoing the final trial. The president can take some credit for this, and it’s probably United Nationsknown to most Americans.
Using this and another evidence, the president may point out that there is The purpose of this terrible experience is that the death rate in the United States is still among the lowest in the western world and that when the disease has followed its natural course, life in the United States will return to normal.
Without this guarantee, it is not surprising that President Trump is losing support. Polls Show Large Majorities of the American People–even if they are going back to work and to a measure of their previous lives–They are still afraid of infection. They have not been given any context to understand the meaning of what is happening in the United States as a whole.
As long as this is true, every idea that would restore normality anywhere it is denounced by the president’s political opponents. They know they have it on the ropes. For when the virus disappears as an effective threat could it will be too late to rescue his presidency. The President needs to explain where we are, the progress we have made and what to expect in the future.
Yes he waits until it is obvious that the virus is expired he will return to his home in Florida instead of his place in DC
