"It affects elderly people. Elderly people with heart problems and other problems. If they have other problems, that’s what it really affects. If they have other problems, that’s what it really affects. That’s it. You know, in some states, thousands of people, nobody young. Below the age of 18, like, nobody. They have a strong immune system, who knows. You look — take your hat off to the young, because they have a hell of an immune system. But it affects virtually nobody. It’s an amazing thing."
This is a flat-out lie and Trump knows it's a lie. In his recorded discussions with writer Bob Woodward, he spoke gravely about how coronavirus is so dangerous for every age group.
"Now, it’s turning out, it’s not just old people, Bob," Trump told Woodward in March during a recorded session. "Just today and yesterday, some startling facts came out. It’s not just older. It’s plenty of young people." Trump then went on to discuss how severely it affects patients' breathing and heart function.
Indeed, nearly 10 percent of Covid-19 infections in the United States have been infants and minors. And currently the fastest growing pool of new infections is amongst teenagers and those in their twenties.
Trump knew. And he knowingly lied on Monday. Like he's been lying since the beginning.
We must get this liar out of the White House. He's an outright menace. Voter registration starts closing in two weeks in some states.
