'You didn't want to create a panic? So what did you want? For people to very calmly be dying in the streets?' Trevor Noah said of Trump minimizing COVID-19.

Audio from Trump’s interviews with Bob Woodward about COVID-19 reveal what he knew, and what he lied about.

“You didn’t want to create a panic?” Noah repeated on Wednesday. “So what did you want? For people to very calmly be dying in the streets? ... I get that as a leader you don’t want people to panic. But you also want to inform the people so they can be safe. If a plane is crashing, a pilot will tell you to remain calm, but they’ll also tell you to fasten your seat belt and brace for impact. ...

“And it’s really confusing, because at first I thought Trump was too stupid to understand what was going on with the virus. But it turns out that he was actually smart about it in private, but he’s also stupid enough to tell Bob Woodward on tape. Hmm. Now I don’t know what to think.”
