You need to use your brain for a change. People are still getting very sick and loss of life has reached an all time high, and it's still going strong. Joe Biden save us!!

News media changes how many died , stated over 200 thousand , now only 94, thousand

Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey called. They want the white baboon back.

Trump is running up the death toll, with purpose.

Enjoy pandemic longer and deeper, then!

Only thing Great about D J Trump is belly fat and nastiness

He loves himself, and does not care if thousands of Americans die due to his misleading , and mishandling of the COVID Pandemic 👩‍🌾🛑😂

What a dope.

Interesting to see the difference when you compare red states COVID stats with blue states. My guess is the majority of those who oppose reopening the economy reside in one of those blue states.

realDonaldTrump Trump pegged as ‘the least masculine’ president in modern era by Naval War College professor, he is baffled that blue-collar white men continue to support Trump even as he has whiny tantrums about being treated unfairly in the media Trumpvid19 PresidentTweety

'Approaches'..... ABC thats shit already pass the 100k.... more than 100,000 deaths and will continue to rise as states are reopen but at the same time ppl are behind on rent and bills cause not everyone is able to get through unemployment or business owners can't collect.

And people are listening to him. Look at what people did for Memorial Day. Packed places out like we not in the middle of a pandemic and Trump just sit there smug smiling. Pure evil

Trump correct again

I was at my dermatologist for a check up last week. The doctor told me point blank that some hospitals are recording cause of death as Covid 19 regardless if Covid was the actual cause because federal $$ go to the hospitals for handling those whom die from Covid? WTH

Once again; you're lying! The numbers are totally inflated! Why don't you tell the truth for once?

GrandmaKiller MaskSlackers TrumpDeathToll100K

Trump is proud of the death toll number

Idiot!

So stupid!!

I think Donald needs to attend a few packed Church Services. Greet each member of the Congregation. Firm handshake.

He’s correct!!!

HumanCapitolStock

Looks like he’s taken a crap

He’s absolutely right. It’s time to get going!!

Replace “from” with “with”

80%+ out of nursing homes. Death by virus and not the dead person is 1000 yrs old. See the Obits in your newspapers or the data on death on the internet for years prior. You will see many old folk passing and the nrs. increasing yr to yr. Add all the deaths mislabeled Covid

He, like his idol Adolf Hitler, smile big when the death toll climbs. Republicans, if you can vote for this man, you can vote for any murderer. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica BlueTsunami2020

Lock downs won’t end the virus . Open up ! The curve was flattened ! Do your part and go outside !

Until health officials say it's okay to open up he needs to shut up

Trumps right

Awesome 😎 Agree! 👍🏻🇺🇸

There’s ABC news once again trying to MAKE news. Why do you put Cuomo’s quotes as standalone in your headlines, but you put up a statistic next to Trump’s quote with the SOLE PURPOSE of trying to undermine his comments. We ALL want to open ASAP. It’s not that hard to be neutral

How can someone as a leader promote unsafe openings and still look in the mirror and be okay with what he sees?

that 100K doesn't include the suicides from the shutdown. Nor does it give any mention of the families who haven't been able to feed their children, make their mortgage or rent payments etc. The toll on humanity from the shutdown has been much much greater than the fatalities.

Alfred E Neuman clone!

What a LIBERAL LEFTIST RAG ABC has become.

Not sure what tf a contradicting headline like this is supposed to mean, but he’s right. Time to open EVERYTHING back up. If you’re a coward and want to stay home there’s nothing wrong with it.

Genius🤬

Trump is Corona Virus 🦠

He is responsable for tens of thousands of death: history has told us that the Americans are without piety when they are killed in great numbers by incompetence and bad faith.

President Trumpnis Fool in russian clothes realDonaldTrump

Donald loves death

Hospitals will not be overwhelmed now, but you better wear a mask and wash your hands frequently!

yeah so the economy would be revived he left it up to governors bc he didn’t want to open up new york bc of the cases.... everyone wants to get back to normal.

It is a must for states to open, asap. 100’000 deaths for a 330 million population is low,with all respect to each decedent,and compared to many other countries,as well as compared to the 650’000 cancer deaths 2019 in the US!Did anyone care about those and many others so far?

Please build that wall right around America. We used to travel there very very frequently and spend lots of money, as long as Donald is President we will travel elsewhere. America has become far too dangerous and reckless.

Look at the uninformed MSM apologists in here , blindly spouting nonsense and lies. So hilarious, really. The death count is wrong . CDC guidelines say “guess” which means that total cannot be trusted We don’t need a national strategy. Each state needs to set their own .

Disgraceful POS

Hey how about we take a novel approach if your scared and believe everything media tells you STAY HOME the rest of the country can calculate our own risks like free people use to OpenAmericaNOW

The toll has been inflated with dirty data.

Maybe he would feel different if him or one of his family members got it. Sad that people don’t matter to him.

The numbers are askew. How many flu deaths since January? How many natural deaths? Everybody is dying of the Wuhan Virus ? I don't think so. realDonaldTrump

But hey, he has done a great job. The deaths are under a million. Sarcasm..

Trump is a disgrace to the country and humanity

What are actual Covid deaths? What percent are not nursing home, jail, or other confined spaces? Why is Walmart ok but not my office of 6?

He is correct

How many of all those covid-19 unfortunate deaths will be corrected and lower the amount of victims in a couple of months? 10%, 25%, 50%?

Open safely. People need to use common sense. The virus is still here.

He has a personal interest in the opening....

I’m the one trading for you so there is nothing to worry about what you just need to do on that site you just need to buy bitcoin okay.

absolutely not. Wholly reckless and irresponsible---but then that's the whole game and personna of DonaldTrump

ABC is reporting this like its a stock market value. The number can never fluctuate down. It is fine out. I live in Michigan, it’s a beautiful 85 deg out, but we have Hitlers turd in the State capitol urging everyone to stay inside...wtf

Well he is an asshole. Just looking for votes

Agree 💯

America wake up Dump Trump!!!

And THIS disgrace is a large & underreported portion of that total 👇

Let’s talk survivorship numbers...🤔🤔👀 98%

You could care less about the people all you worry about is your campaign. Trump you are the worst President in history !!!

realDonaldTrump doesn’t care about human lives. He’s as cold as ice, he has no heart or conscience. He thinks all those lives mean others can fill their jobs. It’s all about his re-election not our lives.

Let them open up and if anyone does because of the virus they can sue Trump because he told the States to open up.

99,987+

Look at that ''Toothless Smile'' Do Know just what that Smile Says ? I Don't Give a F*...

Dovewoman1 Screw Trump.

Over 40% of deaths are from nursing homes

Real presidents care about American lives. Atleast come up with a plan for regular testing so we can identify the asymptomatic citizens

Fakenews...2.5 million was the number...open up.

It is not that high Controlled media again

Most Americans agree. Open our states

Let’s just stay locked up forever.. that’s the answer.

When is good for you? After the election

He is correct. Protect the weak among us while getting back to living. Let the meek and frightened cower in their homes in the meantime...

Very good!! We know from watching Democrat governors how not to murder the elderly now. They killed thousands and thousands of them......

Just cares about getting reelected

Agree with Our President 100%!

COVID Fiasco

100% agree...... it’s no more than a common cold but media likes to “spook” the public with over the top exaggeration

Unless you're a blue state, you just continue to place covid patient in nursing homes to manufacture a death toll. FakeNews Woke

He needs to get kicked out ASAP

Trump is right!

Trump: open up, the virus isn’t gonna spread itself! !

Not 'approaches'....surpassed

Yeah so what? 50k die every month from cancers...you don’t scream about that.

...because hospitalizations & daily death rates are dropping like a rock. We’ve flattened the curve, hospitals are virtually empty, we know how to protect ourselves from infection (hand-washing/don’t touch face) so it’s time to open up. Trump is right...again.

States that opened early, without a full and methodical process in place, and even those that have vast populations defying the stay at home orders are seeing an uptick in infections. All that realDonaldTrump really wants is to travel and hold rallies with his moronic faithful.

Cowardice runs in some families.

CDC now reporting 35% of infections are asymptomatic. These people will get tested. Can’t trace what isn’t tested. And with 4-5mm infected right now, no reality to tracing. Further, CDC now reporting overall mortality rate of .3%, barely more deadly than flu. Quit fearmongering.

Trumps attitude is their is 100,000 dead what’s another 100,000 he has failed on the virus front either way. But the economy was the only thing he had going for him to get re-elected now he has to get it back at all cost.

Trump= Killer President!

Doofus

Americans want to see Donald’s tax returns if he really wants to “open up.”

We don't want to!! 🤣🤣

Opening the states does not create more risk from the virus but reduces suicides, drug overdoses and mass depression from all the lost jobs.

He likes big numbers...

The bias is insane. Media is dead

THE_Nasty_Woman Maybe upon arrival at ICU’s the nurses can check the patients social media accounts to make sure they aren’t Trump zombies. Trump zombies back of the ventilator line.

tell murphy that!!!

Why not expand how you report? The death toll is an important part, but what about the recovery toll? Why not have a pie chart on the 100,000 deaths; who, where, race, color, age, etc. Do some reporting - this isn't about the score.

Your abuse of your medium as a propaganda measure to harm the country is despicable ABC. Your parents and grandparents are ashamed of you! CNN

Enough with the doom and gloom.

OpenAmericaNOW 🟢✔️

This is what happens when elect self-proclaimed geniuses.

Shutting everything down isn't going to stop COVID 19!

Would stay home if govt pays the struggling family!!! People can make their own best judgment now!!!

It’s time to get the economy moving forward & saving as many small businesses as possible! If people want to stay home fine, but let everyone else GO!!!!

Trump doesn't care how many Americans die while he worships his god, the almighty dollar.

realDonaldTrump States are opening, but you can’t force people to go out, eat, drink, shop, and for some...work, if they don’t feel comfortable doing so. LetsMoveBeyondTheTrumpHump

Enough of the fear mongering! Deaths are down nationwide. Also, death count is highly inflated. It counts people that died with Covid as well as people that died of Covid. CDC is reporting less than 6,300 flu deaths. What does that tell you?

All states opening back up is long overdue.

The stupid, smug face in that picture is pretty fitting.

So death toll means something now...okay how about investigative reporting on NURSING HOME death tolls where Governors placed infected in with elderly..see if that doesn't account for at least a quarter of 'Approaches 100,000'

Blindly reopening the country without any kind of strategy or leadership from the federal level and when only a handful of states are seeing a decline in cases probably isn’t the best way forward

We can't live like this forever, and most people are rebelling. But if they are rebelling, and are NOT getting the virus, is it at all possible that the virus has already swept through their communities and is either gone or dissipated. Experts don't know very much at all. --3

realDonaldTrump doesn't care about Americans health and blames everyone else about his failures of a FAKE GOOFBALL PRESIDENT who should be removed from office as soon as possible the Orangutan

Trump is still calling bbn on all Americans to die for their economy

Shut down his goddam twitter account. Hackers get on it. Let him tweet and it goes to outer space.
