Trump Just Suggested NY Gov. Cuomo is Lying or Exaggerating About Needing 30,000 Ventilators
HOLY CRAP.
Donald Trump is giving an exclusive interview to Fox News’s Sean Hannity tonight, and thus far it is totally off the rail and dangerous.
First. Trump opened the interview by saying he was postponing his call with Chinese President Xi to speak to Hannity. Because getting adulation is more important than dealing wit a pandemic.

Trump then slammed two Democratic governors and suggested he might not declare national emergencies in their states because he’s a monster:

Here we have Trump suggesting that blue states are more to blame for having more coronavirus cases:
TRUMP: "Everybody wants to go back to work … the sooner we go back, the better the lift we're going to get." (74 percent of voters actually support more stringent social distancing.)

And the pièce de résistance, Trump seems to suggest New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is lying about needing more ventilators. Yes, the machines that keep people breathing and alive.
"I don't believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators. You know, you go to major hospitals, sometimes they have 2 ventilators." — Trump suggests Cuomo is exaggerating about the medical gear he needs to keep people alive pic.twitter.com/ADZb8fznOw
