If ever you need to explain "distinction without a difference," here is the perfect example.

Q: “Maryland and other states...said they’ve seen a spike in people using disinfectant after your comments last week...”

TRUMP: “I can’t imagine why.”

Q: “Do you take any responsibility?”

TRUMP: “No, I don’t.”
