"But, I mean, he certainly doesn't look like a doctor in that picture. So I don't know about that.""A lot of people are not buying it," Lindell TV correspondent Cara Castronuova observed. "But that was President Trump's response. I didn't think that he was going to talk to the press today, but he did.""I think they felt that he should address this because it really was a lot of backlash, as you know, in social media, especially from Christian groups and even some non-Christians as well," she added.
