(Don Jr.): COVID-19 Deaths 'Almost Nothing'

Donald Trump Jr. Says COVID-19 Deaths 'Almost Nothing' As 5,000 Reported in One Week

Donald Trump Jr. said COVID-19 deaths had fallen to "almost nothing" after more than 5,600 coronavirus fatalities were reported over the past week, adding to more than 220,000 existing COVID-19 deaths.

The president's eldest son told Fox News on Thursday night that the U.S. had "gotten control" of the virus and claimed that officials have come to "understand how it works."

"I went through the CDC because I kept hearing about new infections. I was like well why aren't they talking about deaths? Oh, because the number is almost nothing. Because we've gotten control of this thing, we understand how it works.

"They have the therapeutics to be able to deal with this. If you look at that, look at my Instagram, it's gone to almost nothing. We're outperforming Europe in a positive way. So well, because we've gotten a hold of this.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recorded a little more than 5,600 COVID-19 deaths over the last seven days, along with over 521,000 new infections—taking the total U.S. case load to more than 8.8 million.

America's total coronavirus death count also rose to a little above 227,000 on Thursday afternoon, after new deaths rose by 1,060 in the space of one day alone.

They were hatching their next scheme to kill off the unwashed poorer people and avoiding wooden stakes and garlic at all costs while getting their restorative beauty sleep.

Cocaine can help bolster the ego and give you confidence even when you are talking gibberish or spreading propaganda for Dad.

He probably needs it due to the kind of toxic aura his Father gives off and the fact that Dad is not and cannot be supportive at all to his Son. I would venture that Sr. bludgeons him all the time, directly and indirectly to do like his Father did, show him whose boss and superior to him in every way.

That's probably what he is medicating right now and can't deal with yet, so he has to crash at some point. All the money and attention won't do anything to help it and he doesn't seem to realize it.

and this is his response? He has no sense of how others feel about losing a loved one to COVID-19 because he didn't give a shit when his old man was sick?
