MSNBC Airs Montage of Trump’s Flip-Flops on the Coronavirus
EXCERPT:
TRUMP: "We think we have it very well under control. By April, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away. (...) When it gets warm, historically, that has been able to kill the virus. That’s around the corner, so that’ll be a great thing. (...) Numbers are going to get progressively better as we go along. (...) You go back six months or three months ago, nobody would have ever predicted. (...) When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done. (...) No, I don’t think it is inevitable. (...) They say, oh, he should do more. There’s nothing more you can do. (...) We haven’t seen an increase, and people are getting better. Almost everybody we see is getting better. It could be everybody, too. (...) The Democrats are politicizing the Coronavirus. They can’t even count their votes in Iowa. They tried the impeachment hoax, and this is their new hoax. But, you know, we did something that’s been pretty amazing. We’re 15 people in this massive country. The press is in hysteria mode. CNN, fake news, and their camera just went off. (...) Unfortunately, one person passed away overnight. Since the early stages of the foreign outbreak, my administration has taken the most aggressive action in modern history. That really turned out to be a lifesaver in a sense. Big lifesaver. (...) Some people will have this at a very light level and won’t even go to a doctor or hospital and they'll get better. Anybody that needs a test can get a test. They’re there. They have the tests. And the tests are beautiful. Tests are perfect. The transcription was perfect. (...) We’re doing a great job with it. It will go away. (...) Because of what I did and what the administration did with China, we have 32 deaths at this point. Other countries that are smaller countries have many, many deaths. (...) This is a very contagious virus. It is incredible. But it is something that we have tremendous control of."
