CHINA/CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “I wish they could have told us earlier about what was going on inside. We didn’t know about it until it started coming out publicly…
China has worked very hard. China has lost thousands and thousands of people… No, they weren’t transparent. They were transparent at that time, but when we saw what happened, they could have been transparent much earlier than they were.”
-Donald Trump, “Remarks by President Trump, Vice President Pence, and Members of the Coronavirus Task Force in Press Briefing,” whitehouse.gov, Mar. 21, 2020
