Amid a political crisis over his own taped words, President Donald Trump held a large rally in the battleground state of Michigan Thursday, in an effort to move past revelations that he played down the danger of the coronavirus last winter despite describing it in private as “deadly stuff” in one of 18 taped conversations with journalist Bob Woodward. Michigan’s governor raised concerns about Thursday’s event, while the state of Nevada became the first to scuttle his plans for rallies initially set for Las Vegas and Reno. The latest Trump revelations came from excerpts of Woodward's forthcoming book set to be released next week.
