The Washington Post saw that television interviews, conducted with some senior administration officials on talk shows to talk about efforts to stem the Corona pandemic in America, raised many questions about Trump's aides ’handling of the epidemic.

The newspaper said in its editorial that some of Trump's advisers spoke with exaggerated optimism about efforts to limit the spread of the epidemic in the United States, where the National Economic Council director Larry Kudlow said during an interview on Sunday on ABC that eliminating the epidemic is "a matter of weeks or Months, and we hope it will be within weeks, "he said, adding that it might take four to eight weeks.

Kudlow had told CNBC a few weeks ago that the virus had been contained, and had previously stated that he did not have a magic wand to eliminate it, according to the newspaper.

The responses of Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchen during his participation in the "Fox News Sunday" program revealed his ignorance of the matter, as he began the interview by talking about the team in charge of fighting the Corona virus to persuade President Trump to refrain from applying quarantine to New York City.

The newspaper said that the Treasury Secretary refused to answer many of the questions that were asked to him during the talk show, including a question whether it was realistic to lift the stone from some areas by Easter, and about the potential damage to that on the American economy, where Mnuchin only said, "I will leave that decision To the president and medical professionals. "

The newspaper indicated that a CNN interview with epidemiologist Anthony Fossey, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, may have given the wrong impression to the viewers that President Trump's advisors to the Corona pandemic are dealing with the epidemic with the utmost seriousness, and they are excused. There are those around Trump who can make that impression better than Fossey.

Unlike his predecessors, according to the newspaper, Fossey did not attempt to cover the reality, as he predicted during his talk on the "State of the Union" program on "CNN" that the total number of deaths due to corona infection will range between 100,000 and 200,000 people in the United States. He also did not try to defend the administration’s handling of the crisis, admitted that more could have been done to conduct the necessary checks, and provide the necessary protection tools for hospital workers, and he proposed a clear plan to curb the accelerating spread of the virus in America.

The newspaper pointed out that attempts to limit the spread of the epidemic are being hampered at the start of Trump's incompetence, and that a plan to limit the spread of the virus would have been possible if the White House had other advisers as efficiently as Fossey. She concluded that the absence of these talents in the White House represents a tragedy, because the price of their absence will be paid by the lives of Americans.
