President Donald Trump on Monday expressed condolences to families who have lost loved ones to COVID-19, saying he loves them and is doing everything he can to defeat the disease.
In an interview with ABC News anchor David Muir, Trump was asked what he would say to those who have lost loved ones.
"I want to say I love you; I want to say that we're doing everything we can," Trump replied. "I want to just say to the people that have lost family . . . and the people that have suffered so badly and just made it, just made it; that we love you, we're with you; we're working with you."
Trump admitted little can be done to ease the pain of those who have lost friends and family to the virus, but said he believes the economy will be brought back next year.
"No matter how well we do next year," he said, adding, "those people can never, ever replace somebody they love.
"But to the people that have lost somebody," he continued. "I don't sleep at nights thinking about it. There's nobody that's taken it harder than me. But at the same time, we have to get this enemy defeated."
