The The New York Times story is a Fake, just like the “paper” itself. I was criticized for moving too fast when I issued the China Ban, long before most others wanted to do so. Alex Azar told me nothing until later, and Peter Navarro memo was same as Ban (see his statements). Fake News!

@BrandonBeckham_ Donald J. Trump The New York Times Alex Azar @PeterNavarroUSA Please don’t offend those of us who’ve been in combat by calling this draft dodger a “wartime president” #Veteransagainsttrump

@Jason24100134 @liz20192020 @BrandonBeckham_ Donald J. Trump The New York Times Alex Azar @PeterNavarroUSA You are aware that the #wartime buzzword is only used by this administration to make you feel like it's okay and necessary to die from this virus, while they actually fail to secure the safety of everyone. There I nothing to be proud of unless you are proud to be a lemming.
