The current show is very interesting, contrasting Trump's tone now with his tone in earlier weeks about COVID-19. One of the people interviewed recounted watching Hannity before Trump's most recent "speech" (or whatever you want to call it) and after. It takes you into the Twilight Zone. Or, as the interviewee said, Orwell's 1984. Before the speech, Hannity was referring to the whole thing as the biggest hoax ever perpetrated, a deep state conspiracy intended to undermine Trump. After the speech, Hannity talked about how serious it is and how quickly and effectively Trump responded to the importance of the pandemic and how he saved lives by his quick action. As long as we can build walls and shut down borders, we Americans will all be safe. The whole thing is the fault of foreigners: Chinese, Europeans (except Brits of course), probably the Mexicans too.
