I see him as for himself.  Like many on the right, he seems to value money over people.  He was originally looking to save his popularity by saving the economy, but most people seem to value people.  The governors who backed isolation are popular, while he is not.  That and he is used to solving problems by ignoring them, and thought he could apply that technique to the virus.  However, it is too late to switch to the scientific response without admitting a mistake.  That is not a thing he would do.  Allowing the CDC briefings to resume is about as far as he seems likely to go until the middle of the country's pending lack of isolation disaster hits home.  We will see what he does then.

I think he cares, but he cares about the wrong things.  Nero according to legend didn't care.  Not an exact match, but close enough for Trump to take up fiddle lessons.  By the time the history books are written, that seems like what is likely to get wrote.
