| How the Coronavirus Changed President Trump and America |
| 2020-03-23 |
| [American Thinker] The media are piling on President Trump for not instilling confidence during the COVID-19 crisis: "There is no new Trump." "Don't be fooled." "The new Trump is the same as the old Trump." "He's incapable of leading us out of it." "Trump shrugs off responsibility." "He's putting the blame on the Chinese." "Trump is fundamentally unfit ‐ intellectually, morally, temperamentally and psychologically." The media could not be more wrong. As explained in my book, Psychologically Sound: The Mind of Donald J. Trump, his personality ‐ replete with intelligence, imagination, consistency, charisma, organization, and optimism ‐ is well designed for modern America. But I did not think Trump's personality would evolve in the Oval Office. I was wrong, deeply wrong. He has changed, profoundly, and for the better. During the March 17 Tuesday White House coronavirus press conference, a reporter asked if President Trump's mood was more somber on Monday's briefing. With great seriousness, Trump outlined how he had been solemn from the get-go ‐ in January, restricting travel with China. Although he may genuinely believe that self-description, what he has progressively revealed of himself in this crisis is different. |
