TRUMP: "The germ has gotten so brilliant that the antibiotic can& #39;t keep up with it ... there& #39;s a whole genius to it ... not only is it hidden, but it& #39;s very smart."
Trump& #39;s message to the nearly 17 million Americans who have filed unemployment claims is that he loves them. (At least he didn& #39;t attack the reporter asking him this time.)
Trump says "I want to get [the economy] open as soon as we can. We have to get our country open." Asked what criteria he& #39;ll use to decide when that& #39;s appropriate, he points to his head.
TRUMP on ending social distancing: "Staying at home leads to death also. It& #39;s very traumatic for this country. But staying at home, if you look at numbers, that leads to a different kind of death, perhaps ...so it& #39;s a very big decision. It& #39;s the biggest decision I will ever make"

Trump closes with this: "We have to get back to work. We have to get our country open. But we could have lost 2 million people ... so I& #39;m very honored by our decisions, all of us ... I have a big decision coming up. And I only hope to God that& #39;s it& #39;s the right decision."
