Biden statement: "Mr. President, your ignorance isn't a virtue or a sign of your strength

— it's undercutting our response to this unprecedented crisis at every turn ... It's long past due for President Trump to listen to somebody other than himself in how to fight this virus."

I don't even have anything clever to say. Where the hell are you, Senator Graham?

@LindseyGrahamSC is golfing with the President again today. I'm home in South Carolina with his constituents who are out of work, losing their homes, sick, and dying.

I don’t even have anything clever to say. Where the hell are you, Senator??

Looks like @LindseyGrahamSC is headed to the golf course with President Trump for the second day in a row. They were just spotted by @AlliemalCNN leaving the White House together.

Wallace to Trump on coronavirus: "This isn't burning embers Sir, this is a forest fire."

WALLACE: But — but this isn’t burning embers, sir? This is a forest fire.

TRUMP: No, no. But I don’t say — I say flames, we’ll put out the flames. And we’ll put out in some cases just burning embers. We also have burning embers. We have embers and we do have flames. Florida became more flame like, but it’s — it’s going to be under control.

And, you know, it’s not just this country, it’s many countries. We don’t talk about it in the news. They don’t talk about Mexico and Brazil and still parts of Europe, which actually got hit sooner than us, so it’s a little ahead of us in that sense.

But you take a look, why don’t they talk about Mexico? Which is not helping us. And all I can say is thank God I built most of the wall, because if I didn’t have the wall up we would have a much bigger problem with Mexico.

OMFG! Trump/Wallace Back&Forth About Cognitive Tests

Wallace told Trump that he also took the cognitive test and it's not very hard.

Trump sharply objected: "... the first few questions are easy, but I'll bet you couldn't even answer the last five questions. I'll bet you couldn't, they get very hard, the last five questions."

AND THIS:

Chris Wallace pressed Trump on how he wrongly claimed the virus would just disappear.

Trump: "I'll be right eventually. I will be right eventually."

President Trump, in an interview Sunday with Fox News’ Chris Wallace, questioned former Vice President Joe Biden’s capacity to do a similarly tough interview, The Hill reports.

Said Trump: “Let Biden sit through an interview like this, he’ll be on the ground crying for mommy. He’ll say ‘mommy, mommy, please take me home.'”

Trump Won't Support National Mask Mandate

Washignton, DC (CNN)President Donald Trump said he would not consider a national mandate on mask wearing in a new interview with Fox set to air on Sunday.

When asked by Fox News' Chris Wallace whether he would consider instituting a mandate, Trump responded, "No, I want people to have a certain freedom, and I don't believe in that, no."

As part of a hour-long sit-down interview, Trump also said that he disagrees with the assessment by Dr. Robert Redfield, the director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who said at a news conference this week that "if all of us would put on a face covering now for the next four weeks, six weeks, we could drive this epidemic to the ground."

"I don't agree with the statement that if everybody wear a mask everything disappears," Trump said. "Dr. Fauci said don't wear a mask, our Surgeon General, terrific guy, said don't wear a mask. Everybody was saying don't wear a mask. All of a sudden everybody's got to wear a mask, and as you know, masks cause problems too, with that being said, I'm a believer in masks. I think masks are good.
