"We now know the disease; we didn't know it. Now we know it -- it affects elderly people with heart problems and other problems. If they have other problems, that's what it really affects. In some states, it affects thousands of people, nobody young. Below the age of 18, like, nobody," Trump said, repeating a false statement that has been a regular part of his comments during the pandemic. "They have a strong immune system, who knows. Take your hat off to the young because they have a hell of an immune system."
"But it affects virtually nobody. It's an amazing thing."
And how does the President see his own role in handling the crisis?
In an interview on one of his favorite media platforms "Fox and Friends" on Monday, Trump was asked to grade his own performance during the pandemic.
"We're rounding the corner," he said. "We've done a phenomenal job. Not just a good job, a phenomenal job. Other than public relations, but that's because I have fake news. On public relations, I give myself a D. On the job itself, we take an A+."
