President Trump is now advocating for people to where masks.
The Republican Party is scrapping plans for an all in-person convention in Florida.
Eagle-eyed reporters asked White House officials why Trump was suddenly changing his tone and message about coronavirus.
They responded there has been no change and Trump has been consistent with his speeches on Covid 19.
But that’s not true.
The President just pulled the plug on his big convention speech in Jacksonville, citing concerns about the virus.
However that contrasts with his rally message in June when he praised his supporters as warriors for risking their lives to cheer him on in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
And the people who spent millions organizing the GOP convention in Jacksonville before the party canceled called it a “multimillion dollar debacle and think of where that money could’ve gone.”
New polls may explain why Trump is reversing his tone.
He is trailing former VP Joe Biden by double digits in Florida and Pennsylvania and also trailing badly in Michigan and Minnesota.
A Trump campaign advisor says it’s too soon to give up on the November election.
But if the numbers look the same in August then it’s time to worry.
