‘I’ll be right eventually’
The interview was especially combative when it touched on Covid-19,
which has infected 3.7 million and killed more than 140,000 people in
the US.
Wallace repeatedly pressed Trump about the death toll, which the
president attempted to deflect by pointing to mortality rates in other
countries and saying the US had “one of the lowest in the world”.
“That’s not true, sir,” Wallace said, correctly.
The argument continued, and Trump asked his press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, to “please bring me the mortality rate”.
“You have the numbers, please?” Trump asked. “Because I hear we have
the best mortality rate. Number, number one low mortality rate.”
Waving a paper, Trump said: “I hope you show this on air, because it shows what fake news is about.”
“I don’t think I’m fake news,” Wallace said.
