President Trump’s press conference
about the coronavirus pandemic was a smart move. It was about big money,
resources to fight the virus, and to show an alliance between his office and
key pharmaceutical corporations. He said the usual banalities about the
extraordinary job he is performing, attacked the Europeans and the Chinese,
stated the populist slogans that are his banners, and so on. That was the
painful part of the show. But the expressions of support he got from the
medical specialists and the corporations gave the impression to the middle-of-the-road
American Joe and Josephine that the President is mobilising every effort and his
directing the campaign. That is a vote gainer and it is also appreciated by the
markets. Not bad, when we know that a good deal of this challenge has to be
fought at the level of the public opinion.
