.@jonkarl, one of the "all-stars" Trump recognized at the outset today: "Why did you lie to the American people?"
Trump: "What a terrible question. I didn't lie..."
Karl: "You went out and told the American public this is just like the flu!"
Trump: "What a terrible question. I didn't lie..."
Karl: "You went out and told the American public this is just like the flu!"
@jonkarl Trump says his downplaying in March was "very simple...I want to show a level of confidence. I want to show strength as a leader. And I want to show that our country is going to be fine one way or the other..
"There was no lie here. We're leading."
"There was no lie here. We're leading."
@jonkarl Trump, now with the death toll nearing 200K, schools virtual and football fan-free:
"We’re rounding the final turn...we have done a phenomenal job."
"We’re rounding the final turn...we have done a phenomenal job."
.@PhilipRucker presses Trump on why he told Woodward he knew it was airborne but wouldn't say that publicly: "Everybody knew it was airborne. This is no big thing...
"If Bob Woodward thought what I said was bad, he should have gone out [right away] to the authorities."
"If Bob Woodward thought what I said was bad, he should have gone out [right away] to the authorities."
Third question, predictably, goes to the Newsmax reporter (formerly of OAN) who asks, predictably, about the Durham investigation.
And that's it. Three questions and he's gone.
