President Trump said Democrats were intentionally keeping schools and public spaces closed during the coronavirus to prevent him from campaigning in person, Sunday in an interview with FNC's Chris Wallace.

"The Democrats are purposely keeping their schools closed, keeping their states closed," he said.

WALLACE: No, I'm going to ask you a direct question about Joe Biden. Is Joe Biden senile?

TRUMP: I don't want to say that. I'd say he's not competent to be president. To be president, you have to be sharp and tough and so many other things. He doesn't even come out of his basement. They think, "Oh this is a great campaign." So he goes in, I'll then make a speech, it'll be a great speech, and some young guy, starts writing, "Vice President Biden said this, this, this, this."

He didn't say it. Joe doesn't know he's alive, OK? He doesn't know he's alive. Do the American people want that, number one. Number two, I built the greatest economy ever built anywhere in the world; not only of this country, anywhere in the world. Until we got hit with the China virus.

We got hit with the virus, shouldn't have happened, and we had to close up, we saved millions of lives. Now we've opened it up, got to go back to school. We're open. We've got to do things. We had the best job numbers we've ever had last month. We should have good ones coming up in two weeks. Look, I built the greatest economy in history, I'm now doing it again. You see the numbers; the numbers are through the roof.

The Democrats are purposely keeping their schools closed, keeping their states closed. I called Michigan, I want to have a big rally in Michigan. Do you know we're not allowed to have a rally in Michigan? Do you know we're not allowed to have a rally in Minnesota? Do you know we're not allowed to have a rally in Nevada? We're not allowed to have rallies.

WALLACE: Well, some people would say it’s a health...

TRUMP: In these Democrat-run states...

WALLACE: But, wait a minute, some people would that it's a health risk, sir.

TRUMP: Some people would say fine

WALLACE: I mean we had some issues after Tulsa.

TRUMP: But I would guarantee if everything was gone 100 percent, they still wouldn't allow it. They're not allowing me to do it. So they're not -- they're not allowing me to have rallies.
