Dip**** Donald is now pumping up fake numbers of estimates to lower his bar for success. From 1 guy from china and we have it under control and then how we have 15 cases and soon that will be zero, now he's deeming himself successful because we have over 1.1 million cases and may hit 100,000 deaths. Because without his actions he says it would be over 2 million deaths. Does trump or his supporters have a bar for him or do they only apply bars for everyone else to leap over?
Trump Changes Estimates Again, Says Coronavirus Death Toll Could Hit 100,000
“I used to say 65,000 and now I’m saying 80 or 90, and it goes up and it goes up rapidly,’ Trump said. “But it’s still going to be, no matter how you look at it, at the very lower end of the plane.”
He continued: “In terms of death … we’re at the lower level, the lowest level predicted. And we might not even hit that. It might be lower. And ... sadly that’s all we can do.”
Trump touted his own work to halt travel from China in the early days of the outbreak, but rejected assertions he had acted too slowly and had been informed by intelligence officials weeks before he first took action.
“If we didn’t do it, the minimum we would have lost was a million two, a million four, a million five, that’s the minimum. We would have lost probably higher, it’s possible higher than 2.2,” Trump said. “That’s one of the reasons we’re successful, if you call losing 80 or 90,000 people successful.”
