After reversing course on winding down the coronavirus task force, President Donald Trump said he didn’t realize Americans liked it so much. “I had no idea how popular the task force is until actually yesterday,” Trump said. Newly initiated White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany wouldn’t offer any details on whose idea it was to disband the task force. NBC News reported Tuesday that the task force had already stopped meeting every day and that the meetings it has held have been shorter. Trump has linked the task force with the continued national economic shutdown ― something he is eager to change.
