The parts you pick from Trump's news conferences aren't the parts I'd pick. Instead, I freak out at this one:
"Italy and the U.S. both saw their first case around the exact same time"
"Italy and the U.S. both saw their first case around the exact same time"
As my news editor father taught me, "exact same time" is redundant, just say "same time".
That's just bad speech writing. The part that freaks me out is then adding "around" to it. That means it isn't the same time, only approximately so.

So it's both "approximate" and "exact" at the same time.
Prior this point Trump praises Americans for "coming together" in this crisis, by which I assume he means "staying apart".
Fauci touches the top of his head numerous times throughout the conference. He wasn't "face palming" in reaction to Trump's "Deep State Department" comment. That's just something morons read into what happened. 
There's so much that one should rightly criticize Trump for, such as how he attacked that reporter for an innocent soft-ball question, and for calling it "Deep State Department". Why cheapen valid criticism with nonsense?
