CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “I have now approved major disaster declarations for New York, California, Washington, Iowa, Louisiana, Texas, and Florida. That has great significance, as you know, and legal significance…
We’re testing more than anybody right now. There’s nobody even close. And our tests are the best tests. They’re the most accurate tests…
We have some big problems, but it’s confined to certain areas, high-density areas. So why would we test the entire nation — 350 [million] people? With that being said, I’m going to say it again: We tested far more than anybody else.”
-Donald Trump, “Remarks by President Trump, Vice President Pence, and Members of the Coronavirus Task Force in Press Briefing,” whitehouse.gov, Mar. 25, 2020
