Referendum costs. We did it europe is strong europe is united after 4 days of discussions a unit is striking Historic Deal on an 859000000000. 00 recovery fund. And a u. S. President donald trump has conceded that the corona Virus Outbreak will probably get worse across america before it gets better it mission came in the last hour as the president gave his 1st televised National CoronavirusBriefing Since april he also said americans should wear masks when they come socially distance but missing from the briefing was the countrys top Infectious Diseases expert dr anthony fat shape americas the worst affected nation in the world with more than one 140000 deaths and when over 3800000 cases in some areas of our country are doing very well others are doing less well it will probably unfortunately get worse before it gets better something i dont like saying about things but thats the way it is its the way its what we have you look over the world its all over the world. And it tends to do that the governors are working very very hard and we are supporting them 100 percent everything they need they get and were taking good care we have tremendous supplies. Mike hanna joins us live from washington d. C. So perhaps an element of some doubt creeping into the president says because that then he would come out and continue to wear the rain he pictured in t. India it was a somewhat measured president compared to his previous performances that these 3 things its the 1st one in a number of months but once again the president fulfilling the role for the most part that he describes himself as americas cheerleader a sense you can say i rose the picture of a pandemic that continues to rip through the majority of us states still climbing cases up coronavirus being recorded and certainly the death rate as well is beginning to increase in a number of areas too but this is one of the areas that President Trump addressed insisting once again that given the analysis of x. The that the u. S. Leads the world in terms of testing that the mortality rate within the u. S. Is exceedingly low once again these are allegations that hes made on a number of occasions which have been refuted by Health Experts but still President Trump attempting to give some sense of hope to the situation some sense that it will come to an end and in fact he said once again that this virus will simply disappear without giving any reason why it would or how it would but once again president trans back at the podium giving his opinions on the pandemic and some references are to his health and precaution choices. Yes early in the day one of his spokespeople said that he was being tested a number of times every day but President Trump to my desk during that news briefing saying that he does get tested on most days however you guys must get a multiple to see the but certainly very clearly he is being tested everybody who comes into close contact with him is being repeatedly tested but the president himself said that its something of a complete reversal on the issue of mosques not for months he refused to wear any covering over his face and he made this into a political issue he supported the number of states that were holding anti mosque protests but now all of a sudden the president found says not only should people be wearing mosques but he carries one with him this is what he said i will have i have no problem with the masks i do it this way anything that potentially can help and that certainly can potentially help is a good thing i have no problem my chariot i wear it you saw me wearing it a number of times and ill continue well that was a complete reversal of president conservation now carrying a mosque and encouraging american citizens to wear one this month after the pandemic got underway period of time in which president while not opposing the wearing of mots certainly did not encourage it i kind of thank you very much more we can speak now to jennifer victis shes a professor of Political Science at george mason investing joins us live from Fairfax Virginia via skype thanks very much for being with us what do you make of the emphasis and the tone of this nation just coronavirus tossed post praising her president. Well it seems that the president has realized that he is struggling politically latest polling numbers for his Approval Ratings show that his Approval Ratings are quite low his use disapproval rating is going up and depending on the poll hes trailing in the presumed democratic nominee joe biden by any read between 5 and 15 points and so it seems hes under some political duress and it appears that hes going back to some of his tried and True Campaign strategies not dissimilar to what we saw in 2016 and also in the 20000 Midterm Election do you think its risky for him to start up these briefings again or do you think that actually given that theres not much chance to campaign and then to if its a gives him a platform it certainly gives him a platform it may give him an outlet that hes that hes wanting whether or not it will actually help him it seems unlikely i mean the white house essentially stopped it before a month or so ago when he started giving ridiculous to. A drinking disinfectant and things like that and it seems to be hurting the response and hurting him politically but President Trump likes to control the media narrative and the media agenda and this is a way for him to do that he likes to. Be able to direct people to attention to what they should be afraid of and by controlling the media environment and having these these briefings and hes better able to direct peoples attention that way. Or to your impression about how worried people are in the states now about coronavirus compared to say you know even just a couple of months ago is that i want to an election issue is it. I think its turning into a huge election issue its of course compounded by the economic collapse thats associated with the pandemics of the 2 are going hand in hand but together i think they may have a major impact on the election because it doesnt look like any either one of those problems is going to be resolved by. By early november and so the president is as feeling that political heat what weve seen in the data is that republicans and democrats so far are responding differently to democrats feel more threatened by the virus and by its various consequences than republicans do itll be interesting to see if the president is starts talking about mask wearing more and shifts his tone a little bit to the white house had been downplaying the pandemic and even dismissing the numbers and im not sure that thats going to be entirely turned around we dont have any evidence to suggest that their message will be all consistent now but if he does start to take it worse seriously then maybe some republicans will also then.
