The President again reiterated his belief that the U.S. has"more cases because we do more testing," a claim has repeatedly been flagged as incorrect by experts.
Trump went on to claim that the previous administration would have taken"perhaps years" to get a vaccine organized."It’s a terrible thing," he said of the virus, but repeated his personal belief, though not that of medical experts, that the U.S. has fared well compared to other countries with nearly"84 million tests" performed."
