Asked if he's worried about 15% unemployment or taking political blame for that, Trump seizes on the second part and says, "They're not blaming me. You know, very interesting. Nobody's blaming me for that." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is repeating his usual lines: "This virus is going to disappear. It's a question of when"; can put out "embers"; Q3 will be "transition" and 2021 "incredible" economically; "we saved millions of lives"; this hit 184 countries; made a lot of ventilators. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump: "It could very well be the case" that more people will die from a quick reopening push. "You won't be locked in a house. And some people should stay if you're over a certain age," 60, and/or "have a problem." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Asked if people just have to accept that there'll be more deaths from reopening, Trump says, "I called these people (nurses) warriors, and I'm actually calling, now, as you know, John, the nation warriors. We have to be warriors. We can't keep our country closed down for years." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump: "Nobody's ever turned me down to be on that task force. Nobody's turned me down for anything, to be honest." (I think ? he is talking about pandemic-specific entities.) — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump says he got calls from "very respected people" suggesting he keep the task force. He says the task force is a very respected task force; "I knew it myself, I didn't know whether or not it was appreciated by the public, but it is appreciated by the public." — PolitiTweet.org

Politico: Recording of FEMA/HHS conference call shows that, the same day Trump boasted that "we've solved every problem" with masks and "all of the things," government officials privately said states had shortages of masks, gowns and other medical gear. https://t.co/FKCTLzSRht — PolitiTweet.org

A thing about Trump is that he tells the same lies over and over. I have no expectations for "interviewers" from Fox, but it's not that hard for others who get to talk to him to come prepared and willing to respond with facts. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump again suggested on ABC that people who flew back from China after he imposed his restrictions were given tests. Some may have been tested eventually, but there was no system to test them upon landing. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Asked to explain his we-have-15-cases-and-it's-going-down-to-about-zero comment from February, Trump said "the 15 people mushroomed." (Yes.) Reminded we now have more than 1 million confirmed cases, Trump again said that this is because we're doing lots of tests. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump falsely claimed again in his ABC interview tonight that the University of Washington model now estimating about 135K deaths by early August is "without mitigation." It does consider mitigation efforts. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump again suggested in his ABC interview tonight that the "broken tests" developed this year for this new virus were left to him by the Obama administration. As so often, no pushback. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump, on and off script, says Honeywell workers "helped our brave astronauts plant our American flag on the face of the Moon. And we're getting ready to do it again. But we're really using the Moon as a landing pad for its journey, and our journey, to Mars." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says the virus is "a tough enemy, a smart enemy. But nobody's like us and nobody's tough like us. And I said it before and I'll say it again: the people of our country are warriors." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump boasts about the previous economy, makes vague claims about how good the economy will be again, decries offshoring, and talks about the need to bring back manufacturing. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump: "Our country is now in the next stage of the battle: a very safe, phased and gradual reopening." (He acknowledged at his previous event that some people will be "affected badly" by the reopening.) — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says these supporters at Sammy's Mexican Grill fed 150 health care workers at an assisted living facility and they'll be "sending Donald Trump the bill." He says he's paying for it himself. — PolitiTweet.org
