Mika Brzezinski: (00:00)
Now the US leads the world, in coronavirus cases by a lot. The US is just over 4% of the world’s population yet represents 31% total cases. And the president somehow thinks that’s a good thing.

Donald Trump: (00:18)
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. So if we were testing a million people instead of 14 million people, we would have far few cases, right? So, I view it as a badge of honor. Really, it’s a badge of honor.

But the germs you’re spreading on Twitter, first of all, Twitter, you shouldn’t be allowing this, and you should be taking these tweets down, and you should be ashamed of yourself. You’ll be hearing from me on this, because this is BS. But Donald you’re a sick person. You’re really a cruel, sick, disgusting person. And you can keep tweeting about Joe, but you’re just hurting other people. And of course, you’re hurting yourself. Willie, why don’t-
