Asked on Fox & Friends about Hillary Clinton accusing him of sabotaging the Postal Service, Trump immediately pivots to bashing Clinton and never denies that that's what he's up to
"By the time we get to [Election Day], we will probably be in very good shape" -- Trump suggests the coronavirus won't be an issue preventing seniors from physically going to the polls in November
"Italy has a wave going. A lot of countries are having a [second wave] -- but nobody ever talks about that. We have done an incredible job in this country, an incredible job." -- Italy reported 190 new Covid cases on Tuesday. The US had 51,185.

The outbreaks are not comparable.
"We're set to rock & roll, but the big problem we have is Democrats don't want to open their schools, b/c they think it's going to hurt the election for the Republicans." - Trump still thinks mask mandates & schools closures are Dem conspiracies, not necessary public health steps
Holy shit. Trump says, "My view is the schools should open. This thing is going away. It will go away like things go away, and my view is that schools should be open."

He then falsely claims kids are "almost immune" from Covid. Just stunningly irresponsible stuff.
Unbelievable -- Trump still can't name a single specific thing he wants to accomplish in a second term
Trump indicates he's likely to deliver his RNC speech from the White House, which would be an egregious abuse of his office for political gain
Trump pushes a baseless (and anti-Semitic) conspiracy theory about antifa: "You have Democrats funding them. They say Soros and they say other people."
Trump really seems to believe he's done more for black people than any president, including Abraham Lincoln, who ended slavery. Delusional.
Asked as the interview winds down what he can do to heal racial strife in the country, Trump immediately starts ranting about the unemployment rate and his poll numbers. Beyond parody.
