Trump ten minutes later, after he's asked if a pandemic is a good time to freeze funding to the WHO: "I'm not saying we're going to do it."
He has also lied at least two dozen times about how he "closed down" travel from China. That didn't happen, but the lie went unchallenged.
This isn't journalism, though. It's just giving Trump the opportunity to lie to millions of Americans and tell them this isn't happening, when it is.
