“Trump said one thing on tape and another in public.”
So what?
“He recognized the deadliness on the tape but down played it in public showing that he knew all the dangers on February 7th but he did not do anything about it then.”

Major politicians (across both parties) have publicly downplayed the virus before it became bad.
