Fact check: President Trump made another series of false, misleading or dubious claims at a coronavirus briefing that began with an off-topic discussion of his administration's efforts to fight drug trafficking
Washington President Donald Trump made another series of false, misleading or dubious claims at a Wednesday coronavirus briefing that began with an off-topic discussion of his administration's efforts to fight drug trafficking.
Trump again said that"nobody" could have foreseen a pandemic crisis leading to a shortage of ventilators, for which there were numerous warnings. He predicted that the virus would no longer be a concern after about a month, a timeline at odds with assessments of experts. And he implied some states are basically fine when it comes to the coronavirus.
