I do know what I’m doing
“I do know what I’m doing”
The president’s remarks across multiple platforms, October 8, 2020
Trump video blog, October 8, 2020
So to my favorite people in the world—the seniors. I’m a senior. I know you don’t know that. Nobody knows that. Maybe you don’t have to tell em, but I’m a senior. We are making tremendous progress with this horrible disease that was sent over by China. China will pay a big price for what they did to the world and to us. But we have medicines right now, and I call them a cure. I went into the hospital a week ago. I was very sick and I took this medicine and it was incredible, incredible. I could have walked out the following day. Sooner. It was incredible the impact it had. And we’re going to make that, and others that are similar to it, almost identical, we’re going to make them available immediately. We have an emergency-use authorization that I want to get signed immediately. The FDA has moved at a level that they’ve never moved before. Things that would take 2, 3, 4 years are taking a matter of weeks or even sooner than that. And that’s because of me. We’re taking care of our seniors. You’re not vulnerable but they like to say you’re vulnerable. You’re the least vulnerable. But for this one thing you are vulnerable. So am I. I want you to get the same level of care that I got. I got incredible care at Walter Reed. Incredible doctors. And this medicine, in particular this one medicine, was unbelievable. You’re going to get the same medicine. You’re gonna get it free. No charge. And we’re going to get it to you soon. And the nice part, it’s paid for by a number of companies. It’s totally safe. But it’s powerful against this disease. So we’re going to get it out to you. We’re gonna take care of our seniors. All free. And I just want to thank you and what we’ve gone through as a country is just a horrible thing. My opponent as you know, he talks, but he never did anything in 47 years. I did more in 47 months than he did in 47 years. He just talks. It’s the same old thing. If it were up to him, you wouldn’t have this, you wouldn’t have anything near it for years. They wouldn’t even be talking about anything like this. He had his chance with H1N1 Swine Flu and it was one of the great disasters. He didn’t know what he was doing. But I do know what I’m doing and the seniors are gonna be taken care of and everybody’s gonna be taken care of and it’s coming out really fast, so thank you very much. We love you. We love America.

Governor Whitmer of Michigan has done a terrible job. She locked down her state for everyone, except her husband’s boating activities. The Federal Government provided tremendous help to the Great People of Michigan. My Justice Department and Federal Law Enforcement announced…
…today that they foiled a dangerous plot against the Governor of Michigan. Rather than say thank you, she calls me a White Supremacist—while Biden and Democrats refuse to condemn Antifa, Anarchists, Looters and Mobs that burn down Democrat run cities…
…I do not tolerate ANY extreme violence. Defending ALL Americans, even those who oppose and attack me, is what I will always do as your President! Governor Whitmer—open up your state, open up your schools, and open up your churches.
Liberate Michigan!
Where are all of the arrests?

It’s a very sad thing. Now you have this Debate Commission is a joke. The commission’s a joke. Take a look at the letter they wrote me four years ago, when they apologized. They were oscillating my mic. They were turning it up and down when I was speaking to Hillary, crooked Hillary, who turns out to be very crooked.
Look at all the stuff we found out on Obama and Biden and her. So, we will see what happens. …
We caught them spying on our campaign. This is treason. We caught them trying to take down a duly elected administration/president. And we have all the evidence now. Now we have to see what the law enforcement’s going to do with it. But we caught them spying. As sure as you’re sitting there — I assume you’re sitting.
But, as sure as you’re sitting there, we caught them spying on our campaign. You know that almost better than anybody.
And it’s something. When you see The New York Times, Washington Post get Pulitzer Prizes, they got everything wrong, right? They got everything wrong. We caught them spying on our campaign. We caught them trying to take down a duly elected president. And then they talk about, we want a peaceful transition to power.
Mike Pence’s best answer was that answer last night. Peaceful transition?
