The New York Times changed headlines 3 times in order to satisfy the Radical Left. What should have been a good story got worse & worse, until the headline alone made it very unfair. Fake & Corrupt News that is very dangerous for our Country!

Trump is a very sick man. It is a travesty that he has not been removed from office.

Wartime President? Trump Rewrites History in an Election Year
The president is brazenly grabbing his only clear option to bolster his re-election hopes, portraying himself as a take-charge leader the country cant afford to lose.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/22/us/politics/coronavirus-trump-wartime-president.html
WASHINGTON With the economy faltering and the political landscape unsettled as the coronavirus death toll climbs, a stark and unavoidable question now confronts President Trump and his advisers: Can he save his campaign for re-election when so much is suddenly going so wrong?
After three years of Republicans championing signs of financial prosperity that were to be Mr. Trumps chief re-election argument, the president has never needed a new message to voters as he does now, not to mention luck. At this point, the president has one clear option for how to proceed politically, and is hoping that an array of factors will break his way.
The option, which he has brazenly pushed in recent days, is to cast himself as a wartime president who looks in charge of a nation under siege while his likely Democratic opponent, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., is largely out of sight hunkered down in Delaware. This gambit, however, requires a rewriting of history Mr. Trumps muted approach to the virus early on and its far from clear if many voters will accept the idea of him as a wartime leader.
Then there are other variables that he and his allies hope will fall in their favor: that the outbreak of the virus will slow and, in the warmer months, dissipate; that the states will get it under control; that the federal governments steps taken so far will flatten the curve; that Mr. Biden and the Democrats will look impotent and inconsequential by comparison; and that enough voters will move past his initial efforts to play down the viruss dangers.
