@Olivianuzzi : If a POTUS loses more Americans over six weeks than died in the Vietnam War, does he deserve to be reelected?

TRUMP: "If you look at what the original projections were, 2.2 million -- we're probably headed to 60,000, 70,000 ...we've made a lot of good decisions."

1. Nah, the original projections was 487 trillion Trump got it down to 200,000

... so there. /sarc

2. There are no doubt loads of reasons to keep him.

All of them bad.

It's a perfect plan. We can hate each other and love him.

3. Projections of 2.2 million were if no actions were taken — no one suggested that the plan should be doing NOTHING.

We're probably headed to 60,000? We'll be at 60,000 before the end of the week. How does he not know that?

5. Yeah. I don't remember the numbers now but I'm sure they're on record

I think awhile ago he was saying if we lose less than 100,000 it’s a win, but now it’s likely we’ll see that many. No matter how many die he’ll move the target again and declare his victory.

4. We will be at 60K in the next few days.

70K the next few after that.

Then with all these openings, of such essential businesses like nail salons, tat parlors and beauty parlors with no social distancing it will skyrocket.

Heck of a job, donnie.

6. And in a hell of a lot less time.

Just as in Vietnam, the staggering number of deaths stems from a sequence of bad policy, bad priorities, and bad decisions, but Trump, in his highly efficient incompetence, has done it in under 3 months.
