“We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”
July 28, 2020:
Trump: “I think It’s under control.”
“How? A thousand Americans are dying a day.”
Trump: “They are dying. That’s true. And it is what it is.”
Whatever gibberish he tries to sell his deluded cult, all you need to do is remember this:
The US has a little over 4% of the world’s population.
But we have more than 25% of the world’s hospitalizations and 25% of the world’s deaths from COVID-19.
This is stunning.
Unless you believe that our (still inadequate) testing program is actually giving people the virus, (something I think Trump might actually believe) all of his braying about doing too many tests and case death mortality (not that he uses that term but that’s what he’s talking about) is completely irrelevant.
We have had over 156,000 deaths in five months from this thing and even more people who got terribly ill and may suffer long term damage. Almost 5 million people have tested positive and the thing has exploded like wildfire all over the country.
And this ass is still out there saying that he has it under control.
I think this is becoming a criminal case of negligence at this point. He can’t be allowed to simply lose the election then set himself up as the president in exile as if this didn’t happen. This is a mass death event and he is refusing to do his job to try to stop it.
