Because he knows more than the medical staff at hospitals.
He also plans to end social distancing by Easter because millions of dead Americans is better than thousands.
Congratulations Trumpites! You voted for Daenerys Targaryen for president.
Meanwhile, in the real world, Trump is sending ventilators to NY
Trump: Government sending 400 ventilators to New York City amid coronavirus outbreak

Nowhere enough. 30,000-40,000 needed.
"Those projections, gathered and analyzed by experts at Weill Cornell Medical College, McKinsey & Co. and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, predict the need for 30,000 to 40,000 ventilators when the outbreak peaks in New York."
They needed 400 additional back in early February, when T-rump considered the virus a 'hoax' by the liberal media to ruin his chances of re-election.
shareMore fake news. Trump didn't considered the virus a 'hoax'. He considered the mainstream media political narrative about it a hoax. Because it was (and it is).
shareI'm sure the survivors of the 28,300+ victims of the deadly virus around the world are quite relieved to know that the coverage this got from the mainstream media was 'all a hoax'. Thanks T-rumptard! They can rest better tonight!
shareI "feel" like you vastly misrepresented reality with your post.
shareIt's far worse than what he feels.
The Defense Production Act would solve the ventilator issue by giving companies loan guarantees to create what is needed with no risk of those companies not turning a profit from their efforts. But what the Defense Production Act does not give those companies is the ability to price gouge.
Trump's Chamber of Commerce is having this battle because they want companies to have the ability to price gouge.
