European books were mostly still holding Trump at Even odds.
In an upcoming book, the US President tells Bob Woodward ‘I wanted to always play it down’ in regard to the worldwide pandemic that has already resulted in 194,866 deaths in the US.
The Washington Post released audifiles of Trump's admissions to Woodward.
“You just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed,” Trump said in a Feb. 7 call with Woodward. “And so that’s a very tricky one. That’s a very delicate one. It’s also more deadly than even your strenuous flu.”
He added: “This is deadly stuff."
The book is based in part on 18 interviews that Woodward conducted with Trump between December and July.
“Trump never did seem willing to fully mobilize the federal government and continually seemed to push problems off on the states,” Woodward writes. “There was no real management theory of the case or how to organize a massive enterprise to deal with one of the most complex emergencies the United States had ever faced.”
