CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/MEXICO/WALL: “I say flames, we’ll put out the flames. And we’ll put out in some cases just burning embers [of coronavirus]. We also have burning embers. We have embers and we do have flames. Florida became more flame like, but it’s — it’s going to be under control.
And, you know, it’s not just this country, it’s many countries. We don’t talk about it in the news. They don’t talk about Mexico and Brazil and still parts of Europe, which actually got hit sooner than us, so it’s a little ahead of us in that sense.
But you take a look, why don’t they talk about Mexico? Which is not helping us. And all I can say is thank God I built most of the wall, because if I didn’t have the wall up we would have a much bigger problem with Mexico.”
