CNN’s Collins: Trump’s ‘Heightened’ Media Sensitivity Stems from Questions on His Initial Response to Outbreak

‘Telling people it wasn’t something to be worried about’

RUSH EXCERPT:

COLLINS: “Aides say even more so, that they feel like it’s a heightened sense of that right now inside the West Wing. That is why the president responds like that when people ask questions about how he initially responded to this. How he was downplaying it, telling people it wasn’t something to be worried about, it was going to go away soon, it wasn’t going to spread as much in the United States. Of course, we’ve hit a very different part of that that health experts have been warning in the United States, it could spread and prove quite deadly.”
