Communication of the Trump administration during the COVID-19 pandemic
President Donald Trump's administration communicated to the public in various ways during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, as seen on social media, in interviews, and press conferences with the White House Coronavirus Task Force. Opinion polling conducted in mid-April 2020 indicated that less than half of Americans trusted health information provided by Trump and that they were more inclined to trust local government officials, state government officials, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Anthony Fauci.
