Everyone knows Trump is a liar and, and most thinking people knew this was going to be serious in February (Senators sold their stocks, the media was covering the pandemic in January, the CDC obviously knew, this humble message board was sounding the alarm, none of them needed Woodward's tapes of Trump). I suspect even his base knows he is a liar, they just trust him as their Leader, and that he tells the larger truth they believe in.
Trump when confronted with his lies only doubles down.
So since Trump and his enablers have been running our federal response, no, I sincerely doubt these tapes would have changed a whole lot. Wouldn't have made him push for masks or better testing earlier. Wouldn't have encouraged him to "shut down". His intentions are clear, in the tapes he doesn't want to encourage panic. If the tapes came out, it would never have changed his approach, and he is the one who calls the shots unfortunately.
All the elites/anyone not on media diet of Fox News and Breitbart have known who Trump is for a while now. No one is surprised by these revelations.
