Do not be fooled by the big numbers. They are not, relatively, big enough.

We need maybe 5 million or more tests per day for it to be safe to go back out: https://t.co/QpFLxGlaTw

OAN now asking about Flynn and whether he will be back in the administration. Trump: “it was a disgrace, he’s a wonderful man, and also what happened to the president should never be allowed to happen again“

When Trump says we had the greatest economy ever (not true, of course) and then says, "I built it," every single businessperson in the U.S. who worked incredibly hard to build their own business, large or small, should be outraged & offended. He's taking credit 4 your hard work

Trump–I should be reelected unless more than 2 million people die. and we've got such good ventilators.

I think he held this press conference purely because he was pissed about being told to shut up over the weekend, and because his staff told him not to do it, so he went ahead and did it anyway.

.@realDonaldTrump says he knows how #KimJongUn is but won't say what he knows, adding he just wishes him well. Also repeats that if he hadn't been elected the U.S. would have been war with North Korea by now (a claim not supported by facts). Kim has not been seen for 2 weeks

— Andrea Mitchell (@mitchellreports) April 27, 2020

Trump says he has "a very good idea" of what's going on with Kim Jong Un, but won't disclose it. "I hope he's fine, I do know how he's doing relatively speaking, you'll probably be hearing about it in the not too distant future".
