It is a new world order and suddenly the US sets the clock after the White House's daily update on the corona virus.

For a long time, Donald Trump seriously denied the situation. He repeatedly pointed out that the virus was a scam, on site in Davos during the World Economic Forum in January, the president told the outside world that the United States had total control over the situation and during a visit to Atlanta, Trump claimed that anyone who wanted to be able to test himself. Something that is not even true today.

The road to the truth was crooked, but so it has looked in many countries. Now Donald Trump is doing what he is best at: communicating. And it goes home.

Donald Trump has recently emerged, in many ways, as a powerful leader in these difficult times.

Sure, Trump continues with angry outrage against reporters and political opponents, but he gives some hope in this difficult situation. Although everything he says does not agree with the truth. He is also considered by many to be a leader who makes difficult but important decisions for the nation.

Now he clearly prioritizes security before the economy, something the public opinion appreciates. Every day he speaks to a multimillion audience as he explains the state of the country. Many people seem to hope that the positive promises are true, that the fight against the virus will be won and the economy go against an unprecedented turn, once the virus is under control.

The relationship that Donald Trump is now building up for old and new supporters can be crucial if an election campaign can get underway this fall. It has long been the economy and record low unemployment that would secure Trump's second term, but now the forecasts are night-black and Trump is being forced to fertilize with federal funds to keep American families away from homelessness.

At the same time, there is a clear danger for Donald Trump to link his political future to the national rescue effort.

The role of the federal authority as the coordinating force does not seem to work. The testimony comes from desperate governors, both Democrats and Republicans, around the country.

The lack of protective equipment for personnel and respirators is acute and can cost many lives. The White House, on the other hand, claims that many governors exaggerate and also keep secret stockpiles of equipment. This has created collaboration problems and high costs.

Prices are rushing when 50 states and federal agencies battle to buy equipment from the same suppliers. A situation that could be serious for Donald Trump if many people and healthcare professionals die due to a lack of proper equipment.

The Democrats, of course, have been completely in the shadow of Donald Trump. All indications are that Joe Biden will be the one to challenge Trump in the November election. But Biden does not reach out in this crisis situation.

No one can think about party politics or the electoral movement, and Joe Biden is sitting in his Delaware home trying to get his views - but no one is setting the bells for Biden.

The coming weeks may be the most difficult in US modern history, but also a period that can secure Donald Trump's second term in office.
