A Trump adviser says that, regarding COVID, Trump is "not really working this anymore."

"He doesn't want to be distracted by it. He's not calling and asking about data. He's not worried about cases." https://t.co/wZ0m4dddSU

Numbers don’t lie, and this administration is desperately trying to hide the size of its failure to address this pandemic. We've just surpassed 3.5 million confirmed COVID-19 cases. The American public deserves transparency. https://t.co/rUYoZWhYP2

Trump's decision in early April to push for a quick reopening of the economy & wash his hands of Covid will rank as one of the biggest blunders of an American president, up there with Hoover's handling of economy, LBJ/Nixon's Vietnam policy & Bush Jr.'s war on terror. pic.twitter.com/9x8xHdntyn

Central dynamic right now: Trump has come to see any efforts to combat the virus as a *personal affront to him*. He isn't exactly pro-virus, as much as anti-anti-Covid, which amounts to the same thing. https://t.co/110xRucRWN

Trump admits he is tested for Covid daily, as are his family and senior staff. He knows the importance of testing – for himself. He does not care about the rest of you.
