[Anderson:] Another day in the United States and it's another 24 hours of rising Coronavirus numbers since the upward trend continues. There is a bleak new projection from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. This is a frequently cited model and it is predicting that more than 224,000 people will die in the U.S. by November the 1st of Coronavirus. In the coming hours, the White House Coronavirus Task Force will be meeting to discuss the situation. This time America's top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, is expected to attend. Well, for the latest in a stream of blistering tell-all books now about the U.S. President Donald Trump, his niece, Mary Trump, who is a clinical psychologist, is speaking for the first time since the release of her "Too Much and Never Enough" book. It's the first written by a member of the President's family and describes him as a sociopath and a textbook narcissist who embraces cheating as a way of life. In an interview with ABC News, Mary Trump said her Uncle he is incapable of leading the country. Have a listen to what she said.
[Mary Trump, Author: "too Much And Never Enough":] He is utterly incapable of leading this country, and it's dangerous to allow him to do so.
[Unidentified Male:] Based on what you see now or what you saw then?
[M. Trump:] Based on what I've seen my entire adult life.
[Anderson:] Let's bring in CNN Political Correspondent Sara Murray. Sara, Mary Trump describing Trump in two ways both seemingly invincible and also somewhat vulnerable. Do tell us about that apparent display of arrogance, as it were.
[Sara Murray, Cnn Political Correspondent:] That's right, you know her book is really about how the patriarch of this family, Fred Trump, created such a toxic environment, and she kind of uses that to explain, relying a little bit on this clinical psychology background, why Donald Trump is the way he is today? She says he has to constantly project this strength, and he lies constantly about his accomplishments and everything, and it is all sort of this broader effort to impress his long dead father. So it's sort of this devastating psychological profile of the President, but she also talks about, you know, a couple interactions she's had with Donald Trump since he became President. She refers to a visit she made, even at one point to the Oval Office just a couple months after Donald Trump won the presidency. Here's how she described it in that interview with ABC News.
[M. Trump:] And I just remember thinking, he seems tired. He seems like this is not what he signed up for, if he even knows what he signed up for, and I thought his responses, actually more enlightening than my statement when he said, they won't get me. And so far, it looks like he's right.
[Unidentified Male:] If you were in the Oval Office today, what would you say to him?
[M. Trump:] Resign.
[Murray:] I don't expect President Trump is going to be resigning any time soon, he's obviously in an active reelection bid, but you can see why the President didn't want this book to see the light of day and why the President's brother actually took Mary Trump to court to try to block the book from being released and block her from being able to talk about it even though he was unsuccessful in his lawsuit.
[Anderson:] Mary Trump suggesting that Donald Trump paid someone to take his SATs, a college entrance exam for him. What else did she say about that?
[Murray:] This is one of the bizarre anecdotes in the book that has really gotten under the President's skin. You know the White House says it's totally absurd, but in her book and that again in this interview, Mary Trump doubles down on this story that she was told by other members of the family, that Donald Trump was going to Fordham University. He wanted to get into the University of Pennsylvania, a more prestigious school and so he actually paid another kid he knew to take the SATs forum because he knew he wouldn't have the grades to get in. Again, the White House denies that this ever happened. In this interview with ABC News, Mary Trump says she's confident in this. She said she won't reveal who told her this story, but she says it's people who were alive and who were aware of this at the time who have recounted it to her, and that's why she included it in her book.
[Anderson:] Fascinating stuff. Thank you, Sara. A U.S. Federal judge has denied bail for Ghislaine Maxwell. She is the former confidant and alleged co-conspirator of accused sex trafficker and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Now while Maxwell pleaded not guilty, the court ruled that she will remain in jail until her trial next year, stating that risk of her fleeing is quite simply too great. CNN spoke to an Jennifer Araoz an alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein, who responded to the bail denial saying, I am once again able to take another breath as Ghislaine Maxwell will be in jail until at least her trial date next year knowing that she is incarcerated for the foreseeable future allows me and my fellow survivors have faith that we're on the right path. I would like to thank both the prosecutors and the judge for taking his one step closer to seeing that justice is served. Well, her attorney Lisa Bloom also responded in a tweet saying this is the first step towards restoring my clients' faith in the system. Denying bail ensures that Mrs. Maxwell cannot continue to hide and flee as the consequences of her actions close in on her. Watching "Connect the World" with me Becky Anderson. Still ahead, Coronavirus raging pretty much of the states. Why is the U.S. President, then, continuing to downplay the crisis? I'll talk to Steven Collinson about that. Plus, we're going to hear from the NATO Secretary General about how the International Military Alliance is coping with the worldwide pandemic. That after this.
