President Trump warned the coronavirus pandemic 'will probably unfortunately get worse before it gets better,' during the first outing of his revived daily briefings
The President's late afternoon appearance in the White House briefing room was designed to project a more commanding role for Trump, who has largely been absent in discussing the health crisis ravaging the country and has seen his poll numbers plummet as a result.In a press conference that lasted around 30 minutes, Trump again said he believed the virus would disappear and insisted the American response to the pandemic was"much better" than in other places.
"Still, his news conference did meet aides' expectation for length, coming in much shorter than some of his earlier forays that stretched close to two hours.And Trump offered only a flash of grievance about how his response has been covered, unlike sessions from the spring that were mostly filled with complaints about the news media.
