CORONAVIRUS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Many of your Democrat Governors said, ‘President Trump did a phenomenal job [on coronavirus].’…
We got the gowns. We got the masks. We made the ventilators. You wouldn’t have made ventilators. And now we’re weeks away from a vaccine. We’re doing therapeutics already. Fewer people are dying when they get sick. Far fewer people are dying. We’ve done a great job.
The only thing I haven’t done a good job, and that’s because of the fake news, no matter what you say to them, they give you a bad press on it. It’s just fake news. They give you good press, they give me bad press because that’s the way it is, unfortunately. But let me just say something. I don’t care. I’ve gotten used to it. But I’ll tell you, Joe [Biden], you could never have done the job that we did. You don’t have it in your blood. You could’ve never done that, Joe.”
