Well, will he just make a brief teleprompter statement and then let the “experts” at the CDC take the questions? If he’s smart, that’s what he should do. But he’s Trump. Can he constrain his propensities?

The CDC has directly contradicted Trump’s efforts to downplay the seriousness of the risk of viral spread in the U.S.

He starts by saying his decisions at the beginning were “ridiculed”. Two sentences in, and he’s turned a public health situation into “us vs them”. What a douche.
