EXCERPT:
RUHLE: “Let's start with the president's remarks last night. You've called this his Chernobyl. Can you explain?”
KLAAS: “Yeah, I think since the beginning of this crisis, the important thing for Donald Trump has been protecting myths around his alternative reality which is to say that he has this completely under control. And in Chernobyl, what you had was a moment in which protecting the Soviet state's myths were the most important thing and that caused people to die and so I think what we need objective policy that is driven by evidence. It's driven by public health experts. It is driven by honesty and credibility and unfortunately what you've had for the last couple of months is Trump playing catch-up and trying to spin this as a PR problem or economic problem as opposed to public health crisis that requires urgent leadership that he's simply not delivered so far.”
