Trump won't say if he disagrees with Birx that virus is widespread | TheHill
President Trump on Monday declined to say whether he disagreed with Deborah Birx's characterization that the coronavirus is widespread across the United States, hours after he complained that she "took the bait" in responding to criticism from Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
The president was asked to elaborate on his tweet earlier in the day in which he publicly criticized Birx, the coordinator of the White House's coronavirus response, for the first time.
He did not directly answer, instead touting his administration's handling of the pandemic.
"Well, I think we’re doing very well, and I think that we have done as well as any nation," Trump said.
The U.S. has by far the most confirmed cases of COVID-19 at 4.6 million and the most reported deaths at more than 155,000, according to Johns Hopkins University.
"I think we’re doing very well," Trump added. "I told Dr. Birx I think we’re doing very well. She was in my office a little while ago. She’s a person I have a lot of respect for.

Trump is a pathological liar. Whatever pops into his head to get him out of a situation.
