In new audio from Bob Woodward that was obtained by CNN, Donald Trump privately called the coronavirus a killer just three days after he told the American public that it would soon be in full retreat.
This thing is a killer if it gets you, the president said on April 13, showing a pretty clear understanding that the virus was a growing, deadly threat. It is the plague.
