President Donald Trump, in a Sept. 9 interview, defended comments he made about the CCP virus pandemic during interviews with reporter Bob Woodward earlier this year, saying that he wanted to “show a calmness” in the face of nationwide adversity.
“I’m the leader of the country. I can’t be jumping up and down and scaring people,” Trump told Sean Hannity of Fox News. “I don’t want to scare people. I want people not to panic, and that’s exactly what I did.”
