Praising his own virus response as deaths near 200,000, Trump says, "if you take the blue states out, we're at a level I don't think anybody in the world would be at."
On the same day Joe Biden and others raise concerns about Trump using political pressure for a vaccine, Trump says the CDC head was "confused" in his congressional testimony about when a vaccine would be available and said he called him to set him straight.
Trump says it is "amazing" that apparently it is not legal for the government to collect a bounty by forcing the sale of TikTok to an American company.
Trump says the "biggest" threat to the election is "ballots," as opposed to the pandemic that has killed thousands of Americans.
He also claims that foreign interference in 2016 was untrue, but even congressional Republicans found that the interference on his behalf happened.
Trump claims he read Bob Woodward's book "last night," which he has said in previous days as well.

In their first year, the Biden-Harris Administration has acquired a long list of accomplishments. 🧵
While there’s more work to do, we’re here to report on how our current administration has already improved our economy, climate, pandemic response, LGBTQ rights, and more. (1/7)
First, Biden’s American Rescue Plan has spurred massive job growth – adding 807,000 private-sector jobs in December alone — and the largest real GDP growth rate in the century.
This administration’s efforts to tackle the climate crisis have added to the 💥“boom.”
While Trump claimed turbines 'kill' birds, Biden’s embrace of offshore wind power will offer renewable energy and add an estimated 80,000 new jobs by 2030. (3/7) americanindependent.com/joe-biden-clea…
Pressed by reporters, Marjorie Taylor Greene won't apologize for supporting a post calling for Speaker Pelosi's assassination, and instead lashes out at reporters -- despite claiming earlier in the press conference she supports free speech and journalism.
Marjorie Taylor Greene blames Democrats - and a few Republicans - who voted to strip her of her committee assignments of depriving voters in her district of a voice. But the action was based on Greene's own words.
"The party is his, it doesn't belong to anybody else" - Marjorie Taylor Greene declaring that election loser Donald Trump still runs the Republican Party.
Defending herself as the House debates removing her from committees for promoting violence and conspiracy theories, GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene asserts, "I've never been arrested, I've never done drugs."
Not taking responsibility for her actions, Greene claims she fell into QAnon because she didn't trust what she saw on CNN or Fox News so she turned to Facebook: "I was allowed to believe things that weren't true."
Claiming that "cancel culture" is "a real thing," Marjorie Taylor Greene complains that people may have "retweeted porn" but that she is "censored" for posting attacks on transgender people.
Press secretary Jen Psaki says Biden is issuing executive orders because he was elected to address American pain and suffering. She says that "includes overturning some of the detrimental, harmful and at times immoral, policies and actions" of Trump.
Press secretary Jen Psaki calls out Rob Crilly, a reporter for the conservative Washington Examiner, for taking President Biden out of context while asking about his executive orders.
Jen Psaki: "We do feel, as an administration, that ensuring that all people in the United States, undocumented immigrants as well of course, should receive access to the vaccine, because that, one, is morally right, but also ensures that people in the country are also safe."
President Biden: "We have recently discovered, in the final days of the transition ... that once we arrived the vaccine program was in worse shape than we anticipated, or expected."
President Biden announces that "we will increase overall weekly vaccine distributions to states, tribes, and territories, from 8.6 million doses to a minimum of 10 million doses."
Biden: "Starting next week, that's an increase of 1.4 million doses per week."
President Biden: "I hope you're all asking me by the end of the summer -- that you have too much vaccine left over. You have too much equipment left over. That's not my worry. I hope that becomes the problem."
