Trump Live Updates: In Flurry of Activity, President Tries to Present an Image of Strength
Most people returning home from a stay in the hospital — especially people struggling with Covid-19 — use the time to rest and recuperate.
But if Tuesday was any indication, President Trump plans no such thing. The day was a blur of tweets and retweets (25 by dinnertime): attacks, major policy pronouncements and assurances to his followers that he was “FEELING GREAT!”
He ordered his aides to cut off negotiations with Democrats in Congress on the emergency rescue package for an economy pummeled by Covid-19 and urged Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, to push ahead with his nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. He mocked “Fake Polls” that showed former Vice President Joseph R.
