quote:[Trump's] bout with the coronavirus, which was far more serious than acknowledged at the time
quote:Perhaps now, they thought, he would encourage Americans to wear masks and put his health and medical officials front and center in the response. Instead, Trump emerged from the experience triumphant and ever more defiant. He urged people not to be afraid of the virus or let it dominate their lives, disregarding that he had had access to health care and treatments unavailable to other Americans.
quote:He actually asked aides who wore them in his presence to take them off.
