President Donald Trump said Sunday that as he tackles the current national crisis, he doesn't want to "bother" his predecessors and doesn't think he's "going to learn much" from them.
In response to a reporter's question on whether he would reach out to any former presidents (George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama or Jimmy Carter), Trump implied that wasn't in the cards.
"I think we're doing an incredible job. So I don't want to disturb them, bother them," he said at the White House coronavirus task force briefing. "I don't think I'm going to learn much and, you know, I guess you could say that there's probably a natural inclination not to call."
