Trump can get away with blaming the press for unfair coverage now...

Because Covid-19 has only started to a hit crisis stage so far in coastal states that "his base" looks down upon. It's in metropolitan areas around Seattle, around SF, around NYC, around DC, around Boston etc. So far it all fits into the conspiratorial mind set that Trump sells regularly: Coastal elites, and the national media controlled by them, are our to get him. Though people are worried about the pandemic everywhere it hasn't become real and personal to most yet in vast swaths of the nation. But that is going to change soon.

Trump is spinning on borrowed time.

had been lying for weeks. That was only when he was forced to. I'd like to know just how that went down. Like someone flipped a switch, he declares national emergency, and the claim to be taking it seriously.
