Quote:
The president wore his re-election campaign hat and interrupted the event to ask a Fox News reporter if his town hall on the network had good ratings.
He attacked CNN.
He called the governor of Washington state, the epicenter of a major outbreak, a “snake” and “not a good governor”, and said he disagreed with his own vice president saying nice things about the governor while visiting the state.
Trump said he has not considered canceling his rallies and is not worried about risks.
He made false and exaggerated claims about the availability of coronavirus tests, ignoring the reality that his vice president has acknowledged, which is that there is a shortage among US healthcare providers right now.
He said he would prefer if people on the Grand Princess cruise remained on the ship so that US numbers would not go up.
He gloated about his “natural ability” to understand the epidemic.
