Within the opening moments of a presidential town hall with NBC News, Trump  repeated the false statement that masks don't work 85%  of the time: "People with masks are catching it all the time," Trump said. Of whether he had a coronavirus test on the day of the first debate with his opponent Joe Biden, he told NBC's Savannah Guthrie: "Possibly I did, possibly I didn't."
