I don't know who buys these things, but the quotes are interesting. Woodward had Trump on the phone, and presumably has the tapes because that's how those guys work (to make sure that people are quoted accurately).
Trump was apparently downplaying the threat of Covid, because he "didn't want to create a panic". Or see the economy tank, I suppose. Of course by playing it down, some people followed his lead and concluded it was no big deal, allowing it to spread further and wider. And it's still spreading. The orange face of incompetence, on a TV screen near you!
