Trump defends his record on Covid-19



Jonathan Swan: “Oh, you’re doing death as a proportion of cases. I’m talking about death as a proportion of population. That’s where the U.S. is really bad. Much worse than South Korea, Germany, etc.”

Donald Trump: “You can’t do that.”

Swan: “Why can’t I do that?”

I saw some figures today showing the US was doing better than the UK. Bit of a long shot this, but maybe population density is something to do with it.

Lest an 80 year old sparrow fall from the sky without it being blamed on Covid.

But better than Peru - which had a very hard lockdown.

There will be a long tail as the focus switches from the cities to the rural areas.

LOL... Has there ever been a bigger dumbass in the White House than that orange man?

Btw, all an interviewer needs to do to expose the orange man's total ignorance and BS on any serious topic/policy is to simply ask a follow up question as Jonathan Swan does.

"comparing deaths to how many were tested"... LOL

Treating alcoholism/ binge drinking different than you treat a communicable disease....... who da thunk it?

Focusing only on mortality from Covid is the zenith of mongoloid reasoning

Provincial governments encourage drinking and gambling... they want that revenue.

If it falls below 6% of deaths then it isn’t even an epidemic anymore...

Greg let’s face it you people don’t want to do your jobs.., just like the school teachers... can’t even work 185 days...

Trump deranged commie leftists can’t function in society as long as trump is president... SAD...

Numerous teachers arrested in Portland... “we don’t want to work we want to riot and destroy the product of productive people instead!”

You should be made to figure it out like the rest of us often have to... or quit the game..
