Guwahati: According to a book titled "Rage" written by the renowned journalist Bob Woodward, US President Donald Trump knew about the severity of the coronavirus even before the first case hit the country.

Woodward has revealed that Trump had "surprising level of details" about the threat of the novel coronavirus than previously known.

The revelations seemed to gather more attention since Trump during the course of pandemic, has repeatedly played down the danger of the virus in public, at times insisting that the virus is going to 'disappear' and "all work out fine..

Woodward in his book further states that Trump never did seem willing to fully mobilize the federal government and continually seemed to push problems off on the states.

The journalist then goes on to add that "there was no real management theory of the case or how to organise a massive enterprise to deal with one of the most complex emergencies the United States had ever faced."

Responding to these allegations, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said the president's words to the public were designed to express confidence and calm at a time of insurmountable challenges.

She said that the president has never lied to the American public on Covid, adding that Trump was expressing calm and his actions reflect that.

For his book, the veteran journalist held a series of 18 interviews with the US president from December to July.

'Rage' also covers race relations, diplomacy with North Korea, and a range of other issues that have arisen during the past two years.
