Trump's extremely forced tone as he reads his scripted remarks suggests to me that he's boiling inside about having to admit that something is going wrong, and that he's going to explode with rage in some spectacular way within the next day or two
This reminds me of when he was forced to semi-apologize for what he said about Charlottesville. Within days, he couldn't hold himself back and went even further than he'd gone before.
Simply can't restrain his urge to downplay: "Some of the doctors say it will 'wash through. It will flow through.' A very interesting term. A very accurate term—I think you're going to find, in a few weeks, a very accurate term."
