during the campaign in November. Trump cannot defend those 6 words..(He can say, "I made a mistake" but Trump never says that)

.

The first American case had been announced the day before, and Kernen asked Trump, “Are there worries about a pandemic at this point?”

The president responded: “No. Not at all. And we have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”

at about 1:30 a.m. on 30 September 1938, Adolf Hitler, Neville Chamberlain, Benito Mussolini and Édouard Daladier signed the Munich Agreement.

Chamberlain is often quoted with those words...."...peace for our time"

On September 1, 1939..eleven months later, Hitler invaded Poland and started WWII..
less than a year after the British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain said those words. There was no..."peace in our time.." The war killed more than 75 million people..

Often quoted as one of the ...stupidest things ever said by a politician anywhere any time.

Trump's statement, "We have it totally under control" will join the Chamberlain statement as one of the stupidest, if not ...the stupidest.
