Donald Trump - Fox News Sunday Interview With President Trump 7 19 20 Lyrics

WALLACE: And hello again from Fox News in Washington. Today from the White House, we\'re on the president\'s patio just outside the Oval Office.

President Trump, you\'ve agreed to answer all manner of questions, no subject off-limits. Thank you and welcome back to \"FOX NEWS SUNDAY.\"

TRUMP: Thank you very much.

WALLACE: Let\'s start with the surge of the coronavirus across the country in recent months. You still talk about it as, quote, \"burning embers.\" But I want to put up a chart that shows where we are with the illness over the last four months. As you can see, we hit a peak here in April, 36,000 cases...

TRUMP: It\'s cases.

WALLACE: ... a day.

TRUMP: Yes, cases.

WALLACE: Then -- then it went down and now since June, it has gone up more than double. One day this week 75,000 new cases. More than double...

TRUMP: Chris, that\'s because we have great testing, because we have the best testing in the world. If we didn\'t test, you wouldn\'t be able to show that chart. If we tested half as much, those numbers would be down.

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.
WALLACE: But, sir, we have the seventh highest mortality rate in the world. Our mortality rate is higher than Brazil, it\'s higher than Russia and the European Union has us on a travel ban.

TRUMP: Yeah. I think what we\'ll do -- well, we have them under travel ban too, Chris. I closed them off. If you remember, I was the one that did the European Union very early.

But when you talk about mortality rates, I think it\'s the opposite. I think we have one of the lowest mortality rates in the world.

WALLACE: That’s not true, sir. We, we, we have a -- we had 900 deaths on a single day...

TRUMP: We will take a look...

WALLACE: ... just this week...

TRUMP: Ready?

WALLACE: You, you can check it out.

TRUMP: Can you please get me the mortality rate?

TRUMP: Kayleigh\'s right here. I heard we have one of the lowest, maybe the lowest mortality rate anywhere in the world.

TRUMP: Do you have the numbers, please? Because I heard we had the best mortality rate.

TRUMP: Number, number one low mortality rate.

TRUMP: I hope you show the scenario because it shows what fake news is all about. Ok, go ahead.
WALLACE: OK, OK. I don’t think I’m fake news but I will -- we’ll put --

TRUMP: Yeah, you will --

WALLACE: -- put our stats on --

TRUMP: You said we had the worst mortality rate in the world --

WALLACE: I said you had --

TRUMP: -- and we have the best.

WALLACE VOICE OVER: All right. It’s a little complicated. But bear with us. We went with numbers from Johns Hopkins University which charted the mortality rate for 20 countries hit by the virus. The US ranked 7th, better than the United Kingdom, but worse than Brazil and Russia.

The White House went with this chart from the European CDC which shows Italy and Spain doing worse, but countries like Brazil and South Korea doing better. Other countries doing better like Russia aren’t included in the White House chart.

California locking down again. Florida, deadliest day of the entire pandemic. Hospitals at capacity at a number of places around the country. Shortages of testing, shortages of personal protective equipment for nurses and doctors.

A lot of people say this is because we don\'t have a national plan. You talk about states. We don\'t have a national plan. Do you take responsibility for that?

TRUMP: Look, I take responsibility always for everything because it\'s ultimately my job, too. I have to get everybody in line.
