Both on tv I heard him say it and media has reported it that he stated, "And a lot of people love Trump. A lot of people love me. You see them all the time. I guess I am here for a reason, and for the best of my knowledge I won. And I think we are going to win again. I think we are going to win in a landslide."

Yet it is not in the transcript.

THE PRESIDENT: And a lot of people love Trump, right? A lot of people love me. You see them all the time, right? I guess I’m here for a reason, you know? To the best of my knowledge, I won. And I think we’re going to win again. I think we’re going to win in a landslide.

Q Many Americans are saying the exact same thing about you, that you should have warned them the virus was spreading like wildfire through the month of February, instead of holding rallies with thousands of people. Why did you wait so long —

THE PRESIDENT: Yeah, who are you with?

Q — to warn them?

THE PRESIDENT: Who — who are you with?

Q And why did you not —

THE PRESIDENT: Yeah.

Q — have social distancing until March 16th?

THE PRESIDENT: Who are you with?

Q I’m Weijia Jiang with CBS News.

THE PRESIDENT: So if you look at what I did in terms of cutting off or banning China from coming in —

Q Chinese nationals. But, by the way, not Americans who were —

THE PRESIDENT: Nice and easy.

Q — also coming in from China.

THE PRESIDENT: Nice and easy. Just relax.

...like this link:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-vice-president-pence-members-coronavirus-task-force-press-briefing-28/

Replace the 28 with other numbers (# 28 is the newest put there today, in reference to Apr 19 broadcast) and will get you other transcripts of different dates. First one doesn't have a number.

Going to https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/ you get a choice of 571 documents.

The transcripts do include gems like this, to prove what a great country we are to have elected such high-class people to our highest offices:

THE PRESIDENT: That’s why your ratings are so bad, because you’re pathetic.
