Calm and candor

In 18 recorded interviews conducted in February and March, United States President Donald Trump told veteran journalist Bob Woodward that he was aware of how deadly the coronavirus was but that he was playing it down on purpose to avoid causing panic among the people. Publicly, at around the same time, Mr. Trump likened the virus to the common flu, telling Americans it would magically disappear when the weather got warmer. Woodward, of course, is one of two journalists who broke ground by reporting on how a Richard Nixon-led White House knew about and covered up a break-in at the rival party’s headquarters at the Watergate Hotel. He has been the subject of an Academy Award-winning film. He has written numerous books on prominent figures. Woodward’s stature and credibility are likely why Mr. Trump, known for his narcissism, spoke with the journalist so candidly in the first place, even as he knew his words were going to be recorded. Now that he is being pilloried for lying to the American people—if he had not…
