Trump offers firm, bold, reassuring leadership on coronavirus by touting his Fox town hall ratings.
4. Trump cited Fox News for data on the virus, rather than the administration he leads.
While standing in a CDC building, Trump seemed to think his favorite network was the best source of information.
“As of the time I left the plane with you,” he told reporters, “we had 240 cases. Well, that’s at least what was on a very fine network known as Fox News. You love it. But that’s what I happened to be watching.”
5. Trump went off on a tangent about the ratings for his Fox News town hall.
“How was the show last night?” Trump said of his town hall to a reporter. “Did it get good ratings, by the way?”
“I don’t know,” a reporter replied.
“Oh really? I heard it broke all ratings,” he said. “But maybe that’s wrong. That’s what they told me, I don’t know. I can’t imagine that.”
