Trump says COVID deaths aren't so bad 'if you take the blue states out'

Nearly 200,000 Americans have died — and that includes thousands of deaths in red states.

Donald Trump said on Wednesday that "if you take the blue states out" of the death toll for the COVID-19 pandemic the U.S., response to the outbreak would be "at a level I don't think anybody in the world would be at."

Nearly 200,000 Americans have died since the outbreak began.

Many of those deaths have occurred in "blue" states like New York and California, but thousands have also died in Republican-led states like Texas (14,343 dead), Florida (12,787 dead), and Georgia (6,398 dead) among others.

This was right at the beginning — this was our prediction that if we do a really good job, we'll be at about 100,00 to 240,000 deaths, and we're below that substantially, and we'll see what comes out.

This asshole really is a psychopath yet again...........

1. Blue state residents don't really count as Americans.

2. OK, take the blue states out of federal tax revenues and try and run your government.

15. 100% Agree.

If you want to take the blue states AKA the states with the largest populations aside from Texas and Florida, and the economic life blood of the United States, then give us back all the money we paid into the Federal coffers.

5. Moron hasn't looked at the CV stats lately for the states of TX, FL, AZ, etc. obviously. And what's

6. I'm with Pelosi. Trump desperately needs an "intervention".

Barr needs to be removed.
DeJoy needs to be arrested.
This is a criminal conspiracy bleeding our country out.

Besides, Californians are just as much Americans as Alabamans.

11. COVID deaths aren't so good if we keep that orange asshole in office

His plan is to kill us. Fuck him. My plan is to vote that motherfucker into irrelevance.

12. COVID-19 deaths arent so bad if you remove the states with international airports that Trump flooded

with Twitter drama. trump singlehandedly created the panic that caused our airports to be flooded with infected passengers traveling from Europe that entered our country unscreened and did not quarantine

13. He likes Red states better.

They match the color of his hands.

[roamer65]

14. We will gladly leave and join the Canadian confederation.

Our money would be better spent there than on states like MS, AL and KY.
