Trump Often Gives 'Complete Opposite' Of Health Experts' Advice, Former Staffer Says
Olivia Troye, who worked for Vice President Pence for two years, recently resigned from the Trump administration's coronavirus task force.
President Trump has consistently told Americans "the complete opposite" of what his health experts have been telling him in private meetings about COVID-19, according to Olivia Troye, who until recently worked on the the White House coronavirus task force.
"They brief him. They tell him the facts. They're telling him the truth. They're telling him things that need to be done," Troye said in an interview with NPR's Ari Shapiro. "And it is a very frustrating environment to work in, when you know that the message that is going to be relayed is counter to what you just told him."
