Trump says COVID-19 lockdowns unconstitutional, opinion has not changed on masks

WASHINGTON, Oct 16 (Sputnik) US President Donald Trump said during a town hall meeting that state-wide lockdown imposed by several US governors to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is unconstitutional.
"The fact is we're winning all these cases because it's unconstitutional what they're doing and I think they're doing it for political reasons," Trump said.
Trump also said his opinion on wearing masks has not changed after contracting COVID-19.
The US president added that he has been okay with wether people wear masks or not.
Biden also said defunding police would be wrong. More police mean less crime.
