JOHN ROBERTS: Will the nation just have to accept the idea that by reopening there will be more death?

TRUMP: "We have to be warriors. We can't keep our country closed down for years … hopefully that won't be the case, John, but it could very well be the case." pic.twitter.com/GgJRW3FX9b

Asked if he's ok with Nov. being a referendum on the coronavirus, Trump says "I am & I'm not" & adds, "I've given them the best job numbers in history… I got for the veterans, I got choice" (30m ppl have filed unemployment claims in recent weeks & "choice" was passed by Obama) pic.twitter.com/7yr2cX4cUc

"I banned people from coming into China" — while trying to defend his February comment that the coronavirus would go away on its own, Trump confuses which country he's president of and comes across as a parody of an incompetent leader pic.twitter.com/dn7JzILYSP
