“There’s No Boogeyman He Can Attack”: Angry at Kushner, Trump Awakens to
the COVID-19 Danger
For weeks, Trump and his son-in-law saw the novel coronavirus mostly as a
media and political problem. But the spiraling cases, plunging markets, and
a Mar-a-Lago cluster finally opened eyes.
Last Thursday, as the stock market was on the way to losing nearly 2,400
points—its biggest single-day plunge since the 1987 Black Monday crash—
Donald Trump was worrying about the fate of the football season. NFL players
aren’t scheduled to report to training camp for months, but according to a
source, Trump feared that the league might preemptively announce it was
following the NBA and NHL and suspend or delay operations due to the
coronavirus. So Trump called NFL owners to see if any action was on the
horizon. “Trump begged them not to cancel the season,” a source briefed on
the call said.
Trump’s concern for the NFL’s well-being was a stark reversal given that
he spent the first two years of his presidency attacking the league and its
kneeling players. It reflected Trump’s magical thinking that he could
manage the coronavirus pandemic by convincing people life would remain
normal and sports would be played. (Last week, Trump also spoke with
Ultimate Fighting Championship president Dana White and advised him not to
cancel UFC events.) “Trump thinks this is a media problem,” a Republican
close to the White House told me. Treating COVID-19 as a public-relations
crisis put Trump at odds with the medical community, including the White
House’s chief coronavirus adviser, Dr. Anthony Fauci. During an interview
on Meet the Press this weekend, the director of the National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Diseases urged the United States to move toward a
national lockdown similar to the actions taken by Italy and Spain. “I think
we should really be overly aggressive and get criticized for overreacting,
” Fauci said.
With the markets in free fall despite emergency action by the Fed over the
weekend, Trump is waking up to the reality that’s been clear to everyone:
Coronavirus poses a once-in-a-hundred-years threat to the country. “In the
last 48 hours he has understood the magnitude of what’s going on,” a
former West Wing official told me. As Trump processes the stakes facing the
country—and his presidency—he’s also lashing out at advisers, whom he
blames for the White House’s inept and flat-footed response. Sources say a
principal target of his anger is Jared Kushner. “I have never heard so many
people inside the White House openly discuss how pissed Trump is at Jared,
” the former West Wing official said.
Sources told me Trump is regretting that Kushner swooped into the
coronavirus response last week. Kushner, according to sources, encouraged
Trump to treat the emergency as a P.R. problem when Fauci and others were
calling for aggressive action. “This was Jared saying the world needs me to
solve another problem,” a former White House official said. One source
briefed on the internal conversations told me that Kushner advised Trump not
to call a national emergency during his Oval Office address on March 11
because “it would tank the markets.” The markets cratered anyway, and
Trump announced the national emergency on Friday. “They had to clean that
up on Friday,” another former West Wing official said. Trump was also said
to be angry that Kushner oversold Google’s coronavirus testing website when
in fact the tech giant had a fledgling effort. Trump got slammed in the
press for promoting the phantom Google product. “Jared told Trump that
Google was doing an entire website that would be up in 72 hours and had 1,
100 people working on it 24/7. That’s just a lie,” the source briefed on
the internal conversations told me.
Reached for comment, a White House official said: “This is just another
false story focused on rumors about palace intrigue instead of the actual
aggressive measures President Trump has implemented to keep the American
people safe and healthy.”
One reason the president’s attitude may be changing is that coronavirus
showed up at his doorstep, literally: Mar-a-Lago is now a hot spot. Last
weekend, Trump interacted with a Brazilian government official who tested
positive for COVID-19. The appearance of coronavirus inside the president’s
bubble jolted the president’s inner circle that up until that point
treated the virus more like a Democratic plot. With coronavirus lurking on
the property, about a hundred guests sipped cocktails by the pool at a 50th
birthday party for Donald Trump Jr.’s girlfriend, former Fox News
personality Kimberly Guilfoyle. RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel announced
after attending the party that she was self-quarantining after experiencing
flu-like symptoms. Another turning point was an intervention by Guilfoyle’s
former colleague Tucker Carlson. A source who attended the party told me
Carlson went to Mar-a-Lago to confront Trump directly about his failure to
take the virus seriously.
Now that Trump is engaged and the crisis is accelerating—the Dow dropped
nearly 3,000 points on Monday—Republicans fear he is operating without a
playbook at a time when one is desperately needed. On Sunday night, with no
unified message coming from the government, rumors swirled online that Trump
would imminently announce a national lockdown (the White House tweeted that
the rumor was false). But several former White House officials told me they
believed the rumor to be true. “This is not what he likes to do,” a
former West Wing official said. “There’s no boogeyman he can attack.” On
Monday, Trump reportedly told governors they’re on their own. “Respirators
, ventilators, all of the equipment—try getting it yourselves,” Trump said
on a conference call, according to the New York Times.
Every hour seems to bring about a future that would have been unimaginable
only days ago. Ohio might be postponing Tuesday’s primary. Would Trump try
to delay the election? In another news conference on Monday afternoon, he
announced federal guidelines banning gatherings of 10 or more people,
auguring the rumored national lockdown. Republicans fear a lockdown could
compound the crisis if Trump is cooped up in the White House with nothing to
watch but the news. “What’s he going to do, watch reruns of the Masters
from 2017? He’s just going to watch TV and tweet and it’s going to get
worse,” the former official said. | n*********6

床铺这星期向tg求救还来得及，再过了下星期上万了，tg 也回天乏术了。
