President Trumps bid to keep his job next year is wobbling, with national polling regularly showing him trailing former vice president Joe Biden by double-digit margins. Its not a mystery why: Americans are concerned about the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and hold Trump accountable for the viruss continued spread.
The White House this week decided to respond to those concerns, reintroducing daily briefings that they think will allow Trump to better position himself as being in control. (His track record in this regard isnt great.) Trump himself is taking a slightly different tack arguing that, actually, things here are pretty good.
As he did on Tuesday morning.
By comparison to most countries, Trump says, the United States is doing very well. Thats obviously not true.
