there's a metaphor here
Sitting at the Lincoln memorial, President Donald Trump touts extremist anti-social distancing demonstrations: "You see demonstrations all over the country and those are meaningful demonstrations. It's big stuff."
Asked about Remdesivir (and only Remdesivir) Trump says there will be a vaccine by the end of the year and then says the Obama administration did nothing about AIDS.
Trump on hydroxychloroquine: "I don't care about it. I have nothing to do with it, by the way. Everyone said I own the company. I have nothing to do with hydroxychloroquine. Other than if it worked, it would be great."
Asked about why he held this town hall at the Lincoln Memorial, Trump talks about how much he admires the *statue* of Lincoln: "This is a great work of art, aside from the fact that that was a great man, this is a great work of art, one of the greatest sculptures"
Asked why he doesn't give straightforward answers to the press, Trump says he is treated worse than Lincoln.
This is the complete discussion (less than a minute) about the disproportionate effect of COVID on minority communities. Trump's only substantive comment is something about working together in restaurants.
They've now talked much longer about the debt.
Mnuchin and Pence are there now too
Asked about how to ensure airline passengers can be safe, Trump talks about how he "saved" the airlines by having Mnuchin pick out the "smartest people on Wall Street." "Who else is better than these people, that's what they do"
Trump: "All those people out there that are protesting, they're right -- they want to go back to work."
Asked about bringing graduates back to West Point for his address, Trump says "They wanted me to come and speak .... I didn't want to necessarily do it"
this was probably the most WTF moment for me though
