President Trump told The Washington Post's Bob Woodward back in February that the emerging novel coronavirus was "deadly" -- speaking in more dire terms than he was publicly at the time -- according to an account of Woodward's new book which also said Trump boasted of building a secret weapons system.
The Post reported Wednesday on passages from the book, "Rage," including Woodward's discussions with the president.
The section on Trump's COVID-19 comments generated quick controversy, though the cryptic details on a new weapons system are sure to spark speculation. Woodward quoted Trump saying that the U.S. has built a weapons system “that nobody’s ever had in this country before.”
“I have built a nuclear — a weapons system that nobody’s ever had in this country before,” Trump said while discussing how close the U.S. came to war with North Korea in 2017, according to the Post. “We have stuff that you haven’t even seen or heard about. We have stuff that Putin and Xi have never heard about before. There’s nobody — what we have is incredible.”
Woodward reportedly wrote that anonymous sources confirmed there was a secret new weapons system, and the "sources were surprised Trump had disclosed it."
Much of the report focuses on the Trump administration’s response to the novel coronavirus pandemic.
