Trump takes a dizzyingly tone-deaf victory lap for "only" 11 coronavirus deaths.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

With approximately 100,000 CoronaVirus cases worldwide, and 3,280 deaths, the United States, because of quick action on closing our borders, has, as of now, only 129 cases (40 Americans brought in) and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!

Considering how many Americans are living in either religious fundamentalism and/or conspiracy theory land, (who needs censorship, amirite?) the borders and closing and walls are all very magical words that prove that true Americans don't do like those invaders, nor does their purity allow for carrying and spreading evil things like viruses.

Mike Dense is well aware of this fact and they are now cleaning up the drool from the twerking their salivary glands did when they were stimulated by the words, "closing our borders". I hear the floor was covered with it.

Oh, and no true Scotsman would carry and spread a virus, either.

Loosen the belt around your neck, and get the tissues.

He’d just announced his appointment of Pence and Azar tried to explain and reporters started asking Trump To clarify. He just turned around and walked behind the curtain.

When did this happen? I can't find anything about that except it's being "considered."
