You cant stop it with a tweet. You cant create a distraction and hope it will go away. It doesnt go away. By its nature, a pandemic is unforgiving. If you get it wrong at the beginning the consequences are catastrophic and its very hard to catch up. You dont get a Second Chance at getting it right.

The address gives President Trump a chance to reset after one of the most difficult weeks of his presidency. We have fox team coverage.

But when i watched he did exactly what he did on the campaign trail for 15 or 20 months.
On one side progressives like elizabeth warren. Lets be really clear, capitalism without rules is theft. On the other, moderates like Michael Bloomberg.
