Donald Trump has extended America’s national shutdown for a month, bowing to public health experts, and scientific reality, and warning that the worst of the coronavirus pandemic is yet to come.
Imbecile. Yesterday he was saying it would all be fine by Easter. His 2 second attention span clearly helps him to forget his own recent stupidities. God help the US. What a tragedy for that great country that this fool is in charge. He's lethally dangerous.
Trump hedged a bit on that claim ... 'If we can hold that down as we're saying, to 100,000, it's a horrible number. Maybe even less, but to 100,000, so we have between 100 and 200,000, we altogether have done a very good job.' Press Conference March 29
Wonder if he or his supporters were part of that number would their families think he’d done a good job. Think he needs facts in that you die alone.
Totally great job. Best president in the universe.
But, but...I thought this was all a big hoax Donnie! And also that we were going to top out at 15. Man...it must be hard winning so much
Trying to convince people he's doing a great job... To get re-elected.! Because that's all this halfwit has in mind right now 🤮
Including himself..?
Only if one of them were your child.
Trump knew weeks ago that London modelling foresaw 2.2 million deaths in US (550k in the UK) if the virus was not checked. Now he speaks as the saviour who will save American lives against the prediction he ignored/denied for a long while & pretends is a recent figure.
Corporate America!!! Jai ho
As long as he's one of those.
omg
The most stupid president in the history of America...
Only if he's part of them, yeah it could be à good deal !
Didn’t realise he could count that high
ReallY?
To some it will just be a statistic.
KyivPost Think how many patients would have survived if Trump had used the Defense Production Act weeks ago, when he was told by the medical community that people were unnecessarily dying due to a lack of supplies such as ventilators.
Ridiculous comments...
He’s talking about HUMAN deaths...?
Boris: If 20k die we will be doing well ( No fuss ) Trump: If 100k die we will be doing well ( 'How very dare he!' ) Every time a UK pol says something unconscionable, Trump says something that erases it in our media. COVIDIOTS
Did you expect the big ego ever say 'I did a bad job!' of course he is always right and the only thing he cares about is himself and his big ego! The support he gets shows the pandemic of stupidity!
Why is this guy always promoting conspiracies and roasting the media? Because that creates insecurity in the public and fosters the idea they're being lied to all the time. Oh, wait, that's precisely what he wants!
we all heard him say aspirational, but i think it would be better if he'd just stick to the facts besides, who'd want aspiration from the person who created Trump university
Throw the towel in?
AnaglogsDaughtr Yes a job well done more like bumping innocent people off to keep the worlds population down disgusting it is
So many deaths just due to a hoax, Mr President!
If only we were socially distanced from him, forever
AnaglogsDaughtr Last time I listened to him, he was talking in numbers of 2-15 and it would all be cleared up in a matter of days, (miraculously) this clown is seriously deranged and should be removed asap if COVID 19 doesn't do a job on him. He is a danger to the world.
Thought it was all a hoax
He believed it a hoax in February. His WH quack pastor friends said the US was saved from it because of having Trumpet as President. FFS. He cut the staff and Snr team of the NSA bio-contagion team. He has held the US back. He has enabled this...
The Flu epidemic of 2018 took the lives of 80,000 Americans. Not one lockdown was (even selectively) implemented.
.and the U.K. said the same about 20’000 here
No more death would be better
Tf man
RemindMe_OfThis in 3 months
I just have no words to describe this person...even with all those people dying he still will have done a great job to make America great again...
This is what you get when shows like the apprentice are popular.
realDonaldTrump really?
What a horrible horrible man. More proof of zero empathy
😳
You know what would’ve been a better job keeping it at 15 like you originally said.
Hang on, didn't he say it would go away all by itself in April? That's a hell of a lot of deaths between now and Wednesday....
number of death can be altered, so technically speaking, the trump administration will surely do a 'very good job'
Frightening lack of Social Distancing seen at Donald Trump's briefings.
sampurnrajP
Of course, the 'collateral damage' bullshit rethoric. It's always refreshing.
Even one life succumbing to the disease is sad. But compared to 2.1 million deaths predicted earlier, 100000 deaths would indicate that 2 million people would have been saved. But then guardian and its readership possess to different level of intellectual integrity.
Only if one of the 100000 is this guy and not really
Sociopath
American assalam alikum Understand the destruction is being done with u. Creation of virus in US in 2006, rights with Israel, funded by gates foundation, vaccination in UK in 2013/14. Traveling through air Canada, again rights with Israel. Platform jhones Hopkins hospital.
Good job, great job, amazing , terrific, tremendous. Trump's dictionary ends here. American Psycho
Disgusting. Embarrassed for the country!
verodago realDonaldTrump GOPChairwoman What happen to 10-15 cases? TrumpLiesAmericansDie
Beyond shameful, the president of USA is okay with 100k Americans dying because of his stupidity and lack of planning
What You Need to Know about the COVID-19 Fatality Rate
Why does anyone listen to him anymore
forcemultstevea Partially surrendered, sigh
KyivPost Thanks USA from Ukraine.
Didn’t he say this was gonna miraculously disappear by spring?! 🤔 I am still waiting for that to happen.
Volunteer then? I promise we'll say you did a great job! Unbelievable!
A out of his control, and making sure it doesn't get any higher is a good thing. The only reporters 'attacked' asked ridiculous questions! I watched the news briefing as did many Americans, so don't lie!
Wow, that's not what he said. Why do you take things out of context? This doesn't benefit anyone on the left or right. We're in a pandemic, and you feed your public, who believe every word you guys say as facts, a bunch of distorted word.
Hint, that will the final number this Administration uses.
Wow!!! So much ppl you want out of the land?
It was 15 sick and falling last month.
Narcissist. Profit before people. Capitalism at it's best. Disgusting.
A Chinese saying：Funeral is held like a wedding 丧事当喜事办
MAGA MAGA2020
Well if Dr. Doomsday (Fauci) says 2 Million, 100,000 is definitely better. Still don’t believe it’s going to happen.
Actually not that much,I think the death may be about 20,000 to 30,000,Trump just want to set a psychological expectation!Stay at home and keep distance,then mask,mask,mask… That will help!
So, let me get this straight, if we lose more ppl to Coronavirus than we lost in the Vietnam War, he did a good job. GTFOH!!!!
Wow went from wash your hands to 100,000 deaths would be good.
I am far from a fan of Trump, but this is a shockingly biased article. Why not just report the facts without colouring them with your own questionable narrative?
Oh God, please spare those 100,000 in exchange for Dotard TraitorTrump & his TrumpCrimeFamily 😤😡😠
Trump is a big idiot IDIOT idiot IDIOT
People should not just utter words bcs they can move their mouth.
He loves to congratulate himself. The least empathetic person on Earth! Is there such an award?
How ever many it is, it’s going to be a lot more that it would have been if Trump hadn’t lied that it was a hoax.
Why a top politician can say so silly words?
One can imagine the seriousness of this disease after reading this StayHomeStaySafe 2019nCoV COVID2019india
Of course it would be. He also said he wished it could be zero and we’re working hard to keep it as low as possible. Getting foolish critiques by people who’ve never had real responsibility over the lives of others is infuriating.
Isn't this the same person who said only a handful were going to die and it was all a hoax? Don't bother. It's a rhetorical question.
Who the f cares what realDonaldTrump says? Can we please just hear from smart people?
LandeckH Whaaaaat? Are you sick man!
realDonaldTrump Awful, sick human
Good job.
He also never “verbally abuse” reporters, the reporters intentionally quoted him wrong, and he defended himself by reiterating what he said that’s all. SmithInAmerica You should know better, you were there.
And he still has people who worship him... I don’t get it.
Impeachment didn’t curtail this unstable, dangerous menace. It’s time for a much-needed public health intervention to quarantine Trump. His erratic, illogical behaviour is now literally putting the lives of millions of people around the world at increased risk. Covid_19
Wow this article is bad, Trump never said healthcare workers were “Stealing Masks” he said there was a high consumption of them, the reason for him saying that is because typical hospitals use around 10,000 to 20,000 masks but some are using 300,000+ masks which is ridiculous
Leave it to Trump to think that he would be doing a good job by letting an entire football stadium full of people die.
I sincerely doubt, to say the least, that this metric of success will be appreciated by his Creator, when the time comes for the OrangeHead to face him!
A hoax that kills 100,000 people?That should be over by Easter? Or an ignorant president who’s just making this up as he goes along?
What!!!!
人话
O M G
I don't think that he can keep it to 100,000 deaths. I think he acted too late.
Canada 🇨🇦 has 10,000 cases look at the difference in population!
A very good job of ending his presidency
IdiotNumber1 in da house! White House that is!
Obama😷 '...manufacturers of personal protective equipment in mid-2009 urged “immediate action” to restock N95 masks. The International Safety Equipment Association warned of “significant shortages” if another pandemic caused demand for masks to surge.'
It's all about expectations, politically speaking.
Did you talk?
Shit
So says the leader of the Branch COVIDians
Basically, corona virus is a good test of democracy in real terms..
Not surprising. He has been there before 'cause moral bankruptcy of letting down people precedes financial when it happens again and again. The surprising part is the casual GOP acceptance of that price presuming the virus would choose only the ones who do not vote for Trump.
Impeachment didn’t curtail this dangerous moron. Can someone initiate a much-needed public health initiative and quarantine Trump. His erratic and illogical behaviour is a now literally putting the lives of millions of people around the world at increased risk.
No. It wouldn’t.
that's quite a lot of deaths for a hoax
Trump is a denialist on both Climate Change and Coronavirus, who listens to this crap?
this guy is worse than the virus for American people
Friendly reminder that if Trump had responded to this when he was first briefed on it in mid January, we would barely have any deaths. Yet he chose not to. The only reason it's not 2.3million is the local officials did lockdowns. So no... This is not a 'good job.'
“I like the numbers being where they are” Trumpdemic NotDying4WallStreet
This is called spin. He does it with every breathe. It’s the real reason we are in this situation now, and he continues to make it worse.
Guardian, why are you keep publishing headlines & articles that’s controversial. That’s pitching one USA political party against another. Sounds like 🇨🇳 Regime pumping out articles to destroy USA’s unity. USA Unite, save your 🇺🇸. Politics divide, save lives together.
The Pol Pot management style.
😂😂😂😂
This guy has diarrhea of the mouth
I know Guardian readers aren't known for their intelligence or rational thought. But comparatively 100,000 deaths is better than 2,000,000. Therefore 100,000 deaths would be a very good job.
WORDS OF WISDOM FROM AN IDIOT!
Trump said he will call former Presidents when he thinks they can help. Maybe the time has come. Trump mocked Obama on March 13 because of 13,000 H1N1 deaths. Maybe Obama can help Trump keep the total from reaching 100,000 this time.
Can we make it 100,001 and include him?
Indeed. Especially if a large number of those who succumb to the Wuhan virus are politicians and bureaucrats. Would be outstanding!
My God, this man...
He said it was a hoax only weeks ago. psycho
Get the economy keep moving forward
Two weeks ago Trump practically gloated about 13,000 people dying from swine flu during the Obama era as proof that Obama and Biden were incompetent. I am no genius, but 13,000 100,000.
So he assumed that 100K american people will die in this pandemic! what are the american people in his eyes? just numbers? If 90k american people die at the end, would he think he sved 10K people? would he think he is a life saver!
Succumbed & subdued by corona alas
And what would the number be with an excellent job?
It's crystal clear the media is all about further dividing an already divided country. That is the narrative China wants, so that is the narrative China gets. Trump2020 MAGA FakeNews
will someone in his family die in this number?
2+ million deaths is more likely under Trump’s incompetence.
Natural born killer...
He's right
Get this muppet out !!!
One wonders if he was one of that 100 000 if he would still feel the same way
Yeah it would. We were predicting 2.1 million at the start.
I miss the days when he was altering weather maps with sharpies and claimed windmills cause cancer.
