At the most basic level, presidents — as the only elected official with a national constituency — are the closest we have to the individual embodiment of national sovereignty. But Dickinson emphasizes that the effect often doesn’t last. President George W. Bush’s approval rating jumped after the invasion of Iraq, for example, and then steadily declined as the war dragged on. For Trump, the big question is what will happen with the coronavirus in coming months.

He’s making these mistakes, I believe, because he is paying too much attention to short-term measures — like the stock market and his approval rating — and not enough attention to the advice of public-health experts. If that’s correct, of course, the main victim won’t be Trump. It will be the Americans who needlessly suffer from the coronavirus.
