I'd be cautious in asserting that Trump was suggesting that antibiotics used to be effective against viruses. I took it as more, like, "oh here's another thing I think about something." He's just talking. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump, who has repeatedly championed "federalism" in recent days, when asked if it isn't up to the states about when to reopen: "The states can do things if they want. I can override it if I want." He adds, "I have great authority if I want to use it." ? — PolitiTweet.org

Asked about all the new unemployment and the long lines at food banks and what he'd say to such people, Trump says, "#1 I love 'em, #2 we're working really hard. It wasn't their fault, what happened." He then pivots to boasting about how the economy used to be. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump calls the virus "a brilliant enemy." He adds, "Antibiotics used to solve every problem" but now "the germ has gotten so brilliant that the antibiotic can't keep up with it." He adds, "There's a whole genius to it." He adds of the virus, "It's hidden, but it's very smart." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says he has great respect for pastors who want to have in-person Easter services, and knows some personally, but: "I'm a Christian. Heal our country. Let's get healed before we do this." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says he's had talks with "the pastors" and most of them agree that they are better off with distancing. He says he's going to be watching services led by Robert Jeffress of Dallas. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump refers to "John Bel." He explains that he calls him John Bel, though his name is John Bel Edwards, and some people call him Jon Bel. "Sort of a cool name," he explains. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says Boris Johnson is "a friend of mine, a real friend of mine." He says Johnson is "a tremendous guy" and now might be at "100% popularity...when they talk about approval polls...his approval rating must be about 300%." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump, like Mnuchin, used to say that Boeing's woes could cause a 0.5% GDP hit. Recently, he's been saying it's 1% of GDP. This time, he explains that some people say it's 0.5% but he think it's 1%. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is giving an extended history of Boeing in which he criticizes the company for making planes ever so "complicated" that you have to be #1 in your class at MIT to fly them. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump told his story about how he asked top-level Chinese officials how they took so much advantage of the US and they told him it's because nobody ever called them. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump repeats his eternal false claim that the US used to have $500B-a-year trade deficits with China "for a long time." That has never once happened. This is my vote for Trump's most boring dishonesty. It pains me to tweet about it. I will not stop. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump: "If a smart person is standing where I'm standing, we're going to do very well with China." — PolitiTweet.org

Asked about China supposedly taking advantage of the US during this crisis, making moves in the South China Sea and so on, Trump pivots back to the WTO and says it was a "very bad day for the United States" when China joined in 2001. — PolitiTweet.org

Have to emphasize again that Trump doesn't get to unilaterally decide whether the economy is "open" or "closed." These decisions are for thousands of companies, states, municipalities, school boards, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is telling his story about how you think human trafficking is "an ancient thing," but it isn't. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump, whose tone on this subject has changed briefing by briefing, now rejects the suggestion he's "determined" to reopen the country. He says, "The facts are going to determine what I do." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump touts his to-be-announced second task force of doctors and business leaders, which he says will operate by teleconference: "This is beyond economic. I call it...Opening Our Country Council." — PolitiTweet.org

Asked if he's open to the idea of shutting down the country again, after opening, if there's a new outbreak, Trump says, "Depending on the outbreak, yeah. And that's happened, as you know, in a couple of countries." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump falsely says China's economy was "flatlined for many, many decades" until it entered the WTO in December 2001. According to World Bank figures, China grew by 7.7% in 1999, 8.5% in 2000 and 8.3% in 2001; had been growing long before 1999. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump falsely says, "All of a sudden, we're winning" at the WTO." His White House Council of Economic Advisers said in 2018 that the US had won 86% of the WTO cases it had brought since 1995. — PolitiTweet.org

Asked about WHO funding, Trump segues from the WHO to the WTO and then repeats his false story about how the US lost WTO cases until he came along and is now winning. — PolitiTweet.org
