Trump says the US having the most confirmed cases in the world is a "badge of honor": "When we have a lot of cases, I don't look at that as a bad thing, I look at that as, in a certain respect, as being a good thing. Because it means our testing is much better."

Things that range from bleach being a cure to even the pronunciation of the virus itself.He also infamously said he didn’t know anyone who’d died from flu, seemingly forgetting that his own grandfather died in the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic.
