CHINA/CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “On January 23rd, I was told that there could be a virus coming in, but it was of no really import. In other words, it wasn’t, ‘Oh, we’ve going to do something. We got to do something.’ It was a brief conversation, and it was only on January 23rd. Shortly thereafter, I closed down the country to China. And we had 20 people, 21 people in the room. I was the only one that wanted to close it down.”
-Donald Trump, “Remarks by President Trump in a Fox News Virtual Town Hall,” whitehouse.gov, May 4, 2020
