Trump is gaslighting so that when these numbers materialize, people will be numb to them.

I will not become numb. I refuse. Each one of these numbers is a valuable, loved, deserving person.

This is on Trump. His fault. His failure. His fucking ego, and his fucking ineptitude.

5. You might well be right.

Knowing how some Rural Counties operate,oft times deaths are listed different that what the real cause of death was. We experienced that with family members. Years down the road when Estate Settlements are done,miss cause of death can be a issue with certain Insurance Companies .

2. He's preparing the narrative that he was successful if it comes in under 100K.

His minions and the media will eat that honor true.

Democrats need to stay ahead of this.

7. That was best case scenario, we have to be PEFECT to achieve those numbers

Not gonna happen. Look at the parks, the beaches and some churches are still meeting...far from perfect.
