“I have a question about something you said Thursday,” Jiang began, referencing Trump’s comments about the World Health Organization. “You were angry because information about the virus should have been told to us earlier and sooner. People knew it was coming and people did not want to talk about it. Many Americans are saying the same thing about you, you should have warned them the virus was spreading like wildfire through February instead of holding rallies with thousands of people. Why did you not have social distancing until March 16?”
“Who are you?” Trump asked.
“I am Weijia Jiang with CBS News,” Jiang replied.
“If you look at what I did in terms of cutting off or banning China from coming in —” Trump continued.
Jiang interrupted: “Chinese nationals. But by the way, not Americans who were also coming from China —”
“Just relax. We cut it off,” Trump interrupted. “People were amazed. Everybody was amazed that I did it. 21 people in the room, everybody was against it but me. Dr. Fauci said, had I not done that, perhaps tens of thousands, may much more than that, people would have died.”
