On Jan. 22, asked by a CNBC reporter whether there were “worries about a pandemic,” the president replied: “No, not at all. We have it totally
under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it
under control. It’s going to be just fine.”
On Feb. 26, at a White House news conference, commenting on the
country’s first reported cases: “We’re going to be pretty soon at only five people. And we could be at just one or two people over the next
short period of time. So we’ve had very good luck.”
On Feb. 27, at a White House meeting: “It’s going to disappear. One day
— it’s like a miracle — it will disappear.”
On March 7, standing next to President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil at
Mar-a-Lago, his club in Palm Beach, Fla., when asked if he was concerned
that the virus was spreading closer to Washington: “No, I’m not
concerned at all. No, I’m not. No, we’ve done a great job.” (At least three members of the Brazilian delegation and one Trump donor at
Mar-a-Lago that weekend later tested positive for the virus.)
On March 16, in the White House briefing room, warning that the outbreak
would “wash” away this summer: “So it could be right in that period of time where it, I say, wash — it washes through. Other people don’t like that term. But where it washes through.”
