Last week Pres. Trump called a press conference to discuss sanctions on China. The press conference quickly transitioned to a political campaign style speech. With another poll showing Trump trailing Biden by 15%, one has to expect a "full court press" by the President. The coronavirus story keeps him away from his traditional rallies. It is thought that his only platform is now live press conferences and/or news briefings. In the past, those press briefings tended to backfire politically i.e. recall the comment about radiating or using chemicals to eradicate the virus.
