TRUMP TODAY: "We're doing a great job, as good a job as you can possibly do."

[kpete]

REALITY: The United States has MORE confirmed coronavirus cases than anywhere else in the world because of Trump’s incompetent, chaotic response. His failures are costing lives.

Heckuva job Trumpie!

2. The People Will Be The Judge Of That

If this is the best you can do, I can only say 2 things:
Step aside
I'm not surprised.

3. Way, way, way better than Obama. Obama left a nasty, nasty, nasty mess that trDumpie .....

....to clean up. Before he could even attend to the issues concerning the Coronavirus.

trDumpie is the only one on the planet who could have done such a marvelous, marvelous job.

Now trDumpie wants to know how to bury the dead without counting them as victims of the virus.

Bad number and info might derail his chances for re-election. So the numbers of deaths must be fudged and manipulated to make trDumpie look good.

6. You are an absolute failure!

The scientists, doctors, nurses and other health professionals, governors, state and local officials are all working harder than you have ever imagined working in your life and they are doing a fantastic job. In the blue states, anyway.

But YOU are doing fuck all except trying to find a way to make a quick buck off this whole thing and boost your chances of winning the next election instead of actually working to make their jobs easier. And all the while blaming everyone and anyone for your massive failure at handling this crisis.

You are the most despicable man on the planet. Do us all a favor and resign. I can think of a better solution, but I can't say it here.

7. Number that matters is per capita -- we shouldn't be reporting in a way that distorts

We should be accurate. We are not currently the "worst" in terms of reported numbers.

We may get there. And of course, we don't really know the true number of cases due to limited testing.

However, in terms of numbers reported for countries that have reported more than 5000 cases:

USA Rank 10 in number of reported cases per million of population.
USA Rank 11 in number of reported deaths per million of population.

Numbers are from https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
