CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/MIKE PENCE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: [Reporter: What more, specifically, do you want the governor of Washington and the governor of Michigan to be doing?]
“All I want them to do — very simple — I want them to be appreciative. I don’t want them to say things that aren’t true. I want them to be appreciative. We’ve done a great job. And I’m not talking about me. I’m talking about Mike Pence, the task force; I’m talking about FEMA, the Army Corps of Engineers…
You know what I say? If they don’t treat you right, I don’t call. He’s [Vice President Mike Pence] a different type of person. He’ll call quietly anyway.”
-Donald Trump, “Remarks by President Trump, Vice President Pence, and Members of the Coronavirus Task Force in Press Briefing,” whitehouse.gov, Mar. 28, 2020
