, he"hated to do it statistically," adding that the question on his mind at the time was,"Is it going to look bad?"soon after, in context, Trump seemed to be suggesting that he had certain talking points he wanted to use and was concerned about ailing American patients messing up his political message.
When a reporter asked why he'd prioritize"attractive numbers" over treating ailing Americans, Trump quickly said that providing care was more important -- before quickly adding how much emphasis he places on the tallies."I like the numbers," he added."I would rather have the numbers stay where they are."
