Tom Nichols: Covid Trump 2.0

Well, normally he pays attention to the markets, but in part because he had to pay attention to the markets because he wanted to get reelected. Now he doesn't have to care. I mean, now it's, am I doing good? Are my enemies yowling?

No, no, no, no. I was cringing. I felt my cheeks get warm and embarrassment. We don't want that. It was bad, Tim. And again, it's bad. It's not just cringy. It's evidence of a kind of unseriousness.
