The US has around 4% of the world's population but more than 20% of its coronavirus deaths, and while few governments have fought Covid-19 perfectly, any fair assessment would put Trump's performance closer to a D than an A, writes StCollinson | Analysis

This was excerpted from the September 22 edition of CNN's Meanwhile in America, the daily email about US politics for global readers. Click here to read past editions and subscribe.

"Just remember, what you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening," Donald Trump told supporters in 2018. On Monday, as the terrible milestone of 200,000 Covid-19 deaths loomed, the US President put his motto into action. "We've done a phenomenal job. Not just a good job, a phenomenal job," Trump said on Fox News, referring to his leadership in the pandemic."On the job itself, we take an A+," the President said.The entire Trump mythology rests on a bubble of self-delusion. The US has around 4% of the world's population -- but more than 20% of its coronavirus deaths.

StCollinson F

StCollinson So a Communists Country's reporting of deaths is accurate? Of course it would be! FakeNews

StCollinson *** Breaking, CNN lies again *** No 'fair' assessment would give Trump a D!

StCollinson There's that word 'Analysis' again. The CNN Bull Shit warning light is flashing.

StCollinson hate to see he's D...

StCollinson Ah yes, the slurp dog CNN 'writers' are at it hard this week keeping their bosses at the DNC happy with more pandering bullshit. Do you remember when CNN was a news outlet? Nope, me either after all it was founded by Hanoi-Jane's at the time husband.

StCollinson Lie and more lies

StCollinson Fact Check: False. The number of deaths in the US who died FROM COVID-19 is less than 10k, which makes the US 1%

StCollinson His A+ grade was given to him by a professor at Trump University

StCollinson Most other nations are only counting the deaths that are directly caused by China virus not the ones that died of other causes but blame the virus to get cash from the feds. Already proven that less that 25 percent here died from only china virus

StCollinson

StCollinson And most of them are in NY State

StCollinson Take into consideration that ppl are pooping and urinating anywhere they choose.. Could be a contributer.

StCollinson The country’s that have managed the virus are those with good leadership and citizenry. The USA has no leadership at all, just a madman who is running the place in pursuit of his own personal agenda, a true narcissist. Things will not turn around until there is a new President.

StCollinson FakeNewsAlert

StCollinson Democrat states are worse than the Republican run states. So by your logic we give the Dems a ‘D’ and Republicans an ‘A’. Seems fair.

StCollinson The bots are hard at work. Can't spin incompetence Trump killed 200,000 people. This happened under his watch. He sat on his ass for months and called it hoax. Didn't have PPE. Discouraged mask and still does. This is Trump's fault he's paying in November

StCollinson WHY DO AMERICANS CONTINUE TO BELIEVE HIS DANGEROUS LIES! FACT CHECK HIS BULL SHIT THROUGH DIFFERENT SOURCES, CNN, REUTERS, THE HILL, NPR, ASSOCIATED PRESS JUST TO NAME A FEW! WE MAY HAVE OUR DIFFERENCES BUT FU.. WITH US AND ALL OUR DIFFERENT COLORS WILL BE RED,WHITE AND BLUE!

StCollinson The per capita deaths in US are lower than most countries of Europe. Plus US numbers are inflated!

StCollinson He is such a liar he's afraid to lose the election cuz he knows his ass will be going to prison and all his cronies

StCollinson I still do not understand why we can't vote in our living rooms for the president like we do for AGT. It seems like it would make the process much simpler. We wouldn't even have to leave the coziness of our living room. Just use your special voice remote to vote for your choice.

StCollinson Rules for a great life 1. Your only competition is who you were yesterday 2. Avoid negative people around you 3. See failure as a beginning, not an end 4. Our daily habits decide our future 5. Before you spend, earn, save and invest 6. To get what you want, you must persist

StCollinson Why not asking this question to China Do not wrongly divert people’s attention!

StCollinson F minus more like! TrumpLied200KAmericansdied

StCollinson Democrats governors and mayors have deeply failed the American public.

StCollinson Live in Fear, right?

StCollinson

StCollinson

StCollinson Hmmm I’d say F but okay 🤷🏻‍♀️

StCollinson 50% of the deaths were from nursing homes and Trump didn't send covid patients to nursing homes. That would be your hero Dem governors.
