President Donald Trump said that places like New York don’t need tens of thousands of ventilators, citing “a feeling.”

“I have a feeling that a lot of the numbers that are being said in some areas are just bigger than they’re going to be,” Trump said during a phone appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity” on Thursday night.
