Highlights:
"We don't want to be the suckers anymore."
"The level of IQ on some of those calls was about the highest you've ever seen on a phone call, that I can tell you."
Trump suggests there's merit to a Fox News story about the novel coronavirus originating in a lab in China.
"There is death in having a strongly closed country."
"We have the right to do whatever we want."
There are ventilators that are needed to save lives in the US, but Trump is sending the machines to Russia because "they're having a hard time in Moscow".
