Is President Trump Going To Be 'Punished' By The Voters Because Of His Covid-19 Diagnosis?

The Week: Trump aides reportedly think he'll 'face a harsh judgment from voters' after COVID-19 diagnosis 

Aides to President Trump reportedly believe he'll "face a harsh judgment from voters" after contracting COVID-19. 

After Trump announced that he and first lady Melania Trump had both tested positive for COVID-19, The New York Times reported that "strategists in both parties and even senior aides to Mr. Trump said the president would face a harsh judgment from voters for throwing the country into greater uncertainty after one of the most trying years in American history." 

The Times goes on to report that advisers to Trump acknowledge that his positive diagnosis will "remind voters of how dismissive" he has been about the coronavirus. "Mr. Trump's recklessness, one adviser admitted, amounted to a political 'disaster,'" the Times writes. Trump has continued to hold large rallies amid the pandemic and rarely worn a mask, and he told journalist Bob Woodward that he wanted to downplay the risks of COVID-19.

WNU Editor: I do not think President Trump is going to gain or lose voters because of his diagnosis. There is going to sympathy for him and his wife, but that is about it. What I do know is that the spotlight is going to shift on his opponent former Vice-President Biden, and I do not think that greater attention is going to help him. I have just watched the former Vice-President on live TV where he is pushing the use of masks. He was very good in the first minute, and then his tone changed. He reminds me of an old relative who was always yelling at us when we were young that we could not stand. Watching the former Vice-President made me do something that I rarely do when I see a political leader on TV. I switched the channel.
