TRUMP: "We have a stockpile. It is a federal stockpile. We can use it for states, or we can use it for ourselves. We do use it for the federal government. We have a very big federal government."

After Dr. Birx defends Trump's handling of the coronavirus, @Acosta points out that "the president was saying this is going to go away."

"I said it's going away. And it is going away," Trump retorts.

. @jonkarl: Cuomo says NY may be days away from running out of ventilators. Can you assure NY that they will have the ventilators they need?

TRUMP: "No. They should've had more ventilators at the time. They should've had more ventilators."

Trump has been president for more than 3 years and has never done anything for infrastructure but now he says, "infrastructure is a great thing for me."

Trump has jokes: "The models show hundreds of thousands of people are going to die and you know what I want to do? I want to come way under the model. The professionals did the models and I was never involved in a model. At least this kind of a model."

Trump ends the press briefing with some thoughts on voting rights: "I think a lot of people cheat with mail-in voting. I think people should with ID -- voter ID ... you should have a picture for voting. It should be called voter ID."
