Recent Trump Administration Comments on COVID-19
A recent post on Daring Fireball about an article from Financial Times highlights a few remarkable quotes I want to boost. Be sure to check out the DF post and the original article as well, though.
This video of Trump saying “if we didn’t do any testing, we would have very few cases.
Don’t miss: This video of Sarah Cooper making fun of Trump.
This quote from a Trump confidant:
“Jared [Kushner] had been arguing that testing too many people, or ordering too many ventilators, would spook the markets and so we just shouldn’t do it... That advice worked far more powerfully on [Trump] than what the scientists were saying. He thinks they always exaggerate.”
These quotes:
“This is a great success story,” said Kushner in late April. “We have prevailed,” said Trump on Monday.
The United States currently has 1.6 million cases of COVID-19, and 97,708 deaths.
