President Donald Trump speaks about the coronavirus in the Rose Garden of the White House, on April 27, in Washington DC. Mandel Ngan/AFP/Getty Images President Trump was asked about his retweet of someone who claimed Democrats had inflated the coronavirus mortality rate, deflecting from addressing the actual claim by suggesting China was not accurately reporting coronavirus infection numbers.
“Do you believe that’s true, that there’s some sort of conspiracy theory regarding the number of infections states are reporting?” a reporter at Monday’s Rose Garden news conference asked.“If you look at other countries, other countries are not. You could look at China. You could look at numerous countries where I don’t think those are right numbers. I can only say what we’re doing. It’s very important to us to accurate reporting. And that’s what we’re doing,” he added.
However, there is no basis for the suggestion that Trump opponents are inflating the coronavirus mortality rate to try to"steal the election."
