NBC News reports:
President Donald Trump warned Saturday that the country was headed for a difficult week. “This will be the toughest week,” Trump said at the daily White House coronavirus press briefing. “There will be a lot of death, unfortunately.”
Trump claimed that his allocation of resources to states most in need would lead to a “lot less death than if this wasn’t done.”
“In some cases we are telling governors we can’t go there because we don’t think you need it and we think someplace else needs it. And pretty much so far we’ve been right about that and we’ll continue to do it,” Trump said.
