Live with it...

[Hypothetical]

Because thats the easily available CDC data... The worst year in the last 10 years was the 2017-2018 flu year with 61,000 deaths... who was president?

that is 61,000 WITH a vaccine. Covid is about as bad as the flu. maybe a little more, maybe a little less.

And sometimes dinosaurs walk around... just not lately... LMAO...

You added a qualifier, when none was stated! and got caught!

Let me help you out a bit... When a leaders words have to parsed and dissected to understand their "true" meaning, they suck as a leader...

 

[CaughtInThe]

What was the lie? He said that we should adapt to risk, according to the actual risks.

well, the HUGE lie was downplaying COVID to the American people (thus causing millions to not protect themselves as they would had he told us how dangerous COVID really is). you know, be a leader.

then we'd probably have something like 100,000-150,000 dead instead of 215,000 dead. or, if everyone got on board, the number of dead could be more be less. Or even like India (which has FOUR times our population and 103,000 dead.

now, had we listened to a ton of Republicans (and massive liars like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity) we'd probably be somewhere in the 1-1.5 million dead (since those idiots wanted to just keep everything open and go about our lives normally).

 

[Praxas]

Who cares what Trump says about precautions? Since he himself contracted Covid, is his the best advice?

Well we sure do know he isn't the person who should be leading during a pandemic. So in November, the safest bet for Americans is to vote him out of office. Trump can't lead. He can only deflect blame to others for his failures and then takes credit for things he never did. He is the MOST DISHONEST PRESIDENT we have had EVER.

 

[Praxas]

He is not saying it is the same as the flu, he is saying that we adapt to the risk!
We can take precautions against spreading Covid, just like we should have been taking
precautions against spreading the flu.
(On a side note, if people are following the Covid precautions, we should have a minimal flu season.)

And what precautions are those? You mean like mask wearing and social distancing which he doesn't encourage people to do EVEN IN HIS OWN RALLIES?

 

[The AntiDonald]

Trump has been paying too much attention to Joe when giving out numbers. Is senility contagious?

It may be. But if it is, it started with Trump, about 74 years ago.

 

[CaughtInThe]

According to the libruls, if Hillary was POTUS, no one would have died.

False.

Just a lot less of your Republican Brothers and Sisters.

You were the one added unsaid context, by placing a time qualifier!

I don’t think that’s what he’s saying.

just be patient. the State of NY is gonna show you guys just how much Trump (and his family) constantly lie, inflate, etc.

and to be fair, if they need to massively lie and "deflate" numbers they will as well.

This thread in about his tweet, not predicting alternate history!

You're right. But, sometimes parsing is unncessary.

 

[longview]

agree to disagree, I can only read what he wrote.

 

[john patriot]

China was to blame not Trump! now you want to reward China, by electing China Joe, if we let the democrats steal this election China will own this country!

 

[BlueTex]

Yep, there really is no way to parse a LIE unless you are one of the faithful...

I did too!

I suspect Trump may not be a nice guy, but this thread is about his recent tweet.

 

[Aunt Antifa]

that is 61,000 WITH a vaccine. Covid is about as bad as the flu. maybe a little more, maybe a little less.

Since when are presidents airlifted to Walter Reed for the flu?

 

[Schweddy]

Thats just it... it wasn't a lie until you attempted to create one by adding a qualifier that wasn't there.

Get off your cloud.

Trump carried the CCP virus directly into our WH.

They are very close to that already. The WTO just ruled that the Trump tariffs are illegal. Where does that leave us and China?

It's not a lie that we sometimes have civil wars in the US.... That sometimes dinosaurs walk around...

 

[CaughtInThe]

Lol. Yep, but he didn’t have 47 years in government service to perfect it.
