1. Why is he taking up Sweden?

Sweden has also stood out in the US as a country that handled the pandemic in a slightly different way. I would say that both the president's and most Americans' picture of Sweden's handling is a few weeks old and very simplified, but he addressed Sweden after a reporter asked what advice he would give to foreign leaders who oppose social distancing. He didn't really give any advice, but he said that if the United States had not implemented strict rules on social distance, then he would have had hundreds of thousands more dead.

2. Why is Trump attacking WHO now?

Trump has been repeatedly criticized for not taking the corona virus's advance seriously enough in the past. He himself has defended himself by forbidding travel to the United States from the Wuhan region of China, but the issues have continued to come. Here, Trump has the opportunity to find some kind of scapegoat as US death tolls increase. He also criticized China's initial handling of the virus outbreak.

3. How are these plays received by the people of the United States?

Not many Americans particularly care when the president addresses Sweden, but Trump's daily press conferences lately have given him an enormous impact - and his popularity figures have made a small jump upward in recent weeks. I hear many Americans who appreciate being constantly updated on the situation - but many are also tired of the president sometimes coming up with falsehoods and half-truths.

4. How has Trump managed to deal with the Corona crisis?

It is impossible to answer already - the crisis is far from over. But Republican voters seem to be very happy with his handling so far, he has provided plenty of protective equipment for care, respirators and got a small business rescue package in conjunction with Congress. Critics, however, claim that his initial skepticism about the corona virus led to the death of many Americans.

5. Does he support his handling of the Americans?

As always both yes and no. Support for him is increasing right now, as it often does for leaders during major crises. But the concern of many Americans right now is that what Trump has done so far is not long enough. There is a fear that the intensive care units will run out, that the protective equipment for healthcare personnel will run out, and that the United States will end up with a long-term economic downturn. The latter is what I believe will have the biggest impact when voters vote or vote for him in November.
