Because he’s Donald Trump, PugM!
He thought he could convince Woodward what a great guy he is...which he is.
He’s not perfect but to us not perfect people with hair unlike Romney it’s part of his allure.
President Trump thinks people are basically fair.
At the time he spoke to Woodward, an awful man with little talent, Trump didn’t realize that the Swamp People are not fair; they do not live by our rules.
I don’t blame Woodward so much as media in general. Woodward has tapes, and DjT indeed said it.
The issue is: Trump said the same thing in February. Rush has the tape. It’s probably when this portion of Woodward’s expose was recorded, or shortly after.
IT’S NOT NEWS !...unless MSM can hype it as such....which is easy peazy.
It’ll require some counter chat, but Cortes on Fox this morning took a good first step, shutting down Wallace on every point. There indeed was a fog of war, with Fauci and every CDC official, WH official contradicting themselves and each other.
What can’t be mentioned is that an effective treatment would have shut it down damn straight if HCQ wasn’t rejected. That will be confirmed before the election, I hope giving DjT a yuuuuuge I TOLD YOU SO !
