"Was there a moment in all of this, last two months, where you said to yourself -- you know, you're waking up or whatever you're doing and you say, 'Ah, this is the leadership test of a lifetime?'"Woodward asked Trump on March 19, in a new clip aired on CNN's"Anderson Cooper 360" on Tuesday night. "No," Trump repliedWoodward asked,"No?" "I think it might be, but I don't think that," Trump said.

Over the course of their conversations, Trump admitted to Woodward he had known weeks before the first confirmed US coronavirus death that the virus was dangerous, airborne, highly contagious and"more deadly than even your strenuous flus," and that he had repeatedly played it down publicly."This is deadly stuff," Trump told Woodward on February 7.
