When pressed on how that number had changed from when he once predicted 60,000 deaths, Trump said,"And now I'm saying 80 or 90."
"The upper number was, as you know, 2.2 million people. And then there are some, some models or charts that showed higher than that. But 2.2 million people. I always felt 60, 65, 70 -- as, as horrible as that is -- I mean, you're talking about filling up Yankee Stadium with death. So I thought it was horrible, but it's probably going to be somewhat higher than that," he said.
DEMOCRATS LAUGH AT THE DEATH OF AMERICANS
Eathbound420 Someday, a few years down the road (hopefully, not too many years), when we have conquered this virus and there are no new cases, trump will tweet, from his lonely prison cell 'See, I *told* you it would go to zero! I'm exonerated!' 😏
FakeNewsAlert
The FakeNewsMedia said 1 to 2 million... FakeNews is just covering for themselves.
Yep, he cannot predict the future.
Inflating numbers will do that.
And counting. Thanks Trump!
Vitamin B12 deficiency lead to anaemia. A mild deficiency may cause no symptoms. But if untreated, it may lead to symptoms such as: Weakness, tiredness, or lightheadedness Heart palpitations and shortness of breath Pale skin A smooth tongue
At this point how can anyone believe anything that comes out of his mouth.
How low can you go. By saying something as sick as this ABC proves itself to be nothing more than a disgusting excuse for a news Outlet... Using the deaths of innocent people in order to take a cheap shot at a president... Sedition
Trump mentally unstable so thank goodness only 5+ more months of hell to go when Biden wins in Nov
Feels good to still be alive in almost June 2020, I survived baby!!!!!
Sorry, but those of us with brains don’t listen to Fake News. Goodbye!
Well, he’s a moron.
Is anyone really shocked that he has ZERO clue what he's talking about?
Dr. Fauci on Masks 😷 Masks are just for show and optics and to “make people feel better”
They’re just numbers to trump they’re not human beings.
F yew
and as long as he never addresses it, it will never be real......
His glib indifference is unsettling.
And still 5% of what the 'experts' said we'd experience.
and the deaths will keep coming - this is not over
Thats the policy only
Knowledge.
Trump always talks bs to get attention and divert attention to the truth.
Yeah. Which is why we don’t ever believe a word that Donald says.
_Xans_ What’s the of ppl dead STRICTLY from the virus and nothing else I’d be willing to bet under 100....WakeUpAmerica
So stop making it about him, he forgot America so start forgetting him -there is no law that says that you must present trump in every newscast - you didn’t do it for Obama
And no words of sympathy from realDonaldTrump. When he realizes those who have passed have loved ones who can vote, he’ll suddenly express care. Let’s not forget his true, narcissistic sociopathic ways. NBCNews CBSNews CoronaUpdates coronavirus
I'm 18
The president is not a doctor and if he said that it is because the experts around him led him to believe that.
I recall Trump saying if we got 100,000 we'd be doing good. Anybody else remember that?
Really?
Never could tell the truth! “surprise” anyone?
China and the Democrats are to blame, not Trump. We have several videos of Democrat politicians downplaying the virus and insulting Trump for trying to protect Americans. If they had taken the virus more seriously, lives might have been saved. Blood is on liberal hands.
Police officers who use excessive force to the point of killing someone should be charged with murder & sentence to lethal injection.
My ad-visers told me they were mostly poor Democrat voters, so it does not matter! he said.
So the cov-19 didn’t disappear like a miracle?
Show your support for Trump. Do not ware masks and die.
He also said when we had less than 20 cases that it was all about to go away. Magically. I added that part though.
He also said, “if we have less than 100,000 we did a pretty good job.”
Experts worldmhc BandyXLee1 & others have explained the dangers of Trump’s mental & behavioral states. Expert opinions must be taken seriously.
He lied. He denied. They all died.
Oh. It has not. No one should take seriously this ridiculous standard to count c-19 victims. No one is dying of ANYTHING else anymore. And by the way. It’s O V E R. Go back to work fools.
Cause he could have prevented this!
Yes it also happened in 1968 with the H3N2 Hong Kong Flu. We lost 100,000 American life’s when our population was only 200 million compared to 320 million today! We didn’t shut the country down back then. By the numbers it was much worst back in 1968 but we lived through it.
Hey ABC ... it was a new pandemic that absolutely no one knew anything about. But when your “chosen one” called Trump a xenophile for stopping flights from China, Our President stayed the course and arguably saved many lives. You and your liberal media are digusting 😡🤮
Didn't ABC's own medical expert tell us the Coronavirus was no big deal? Or was that CBS or the WashingtonPost? So many doctors told us not to worry, I lose count. Maybe Trump was listening to those doctors, you know, the experts like Fauci.
:(. :(. :(
Anything good to report or just the same thing every day
That’s right! This is a fluid situation that has never been faced before - so what is your point? Have YOU ever given the President credit for anything? Didn’t think so! YOU just give YOUR opinion & not distorted facts! No wonder your Viewers are declining. 👎😖🖤
And the left is ecstatic...
Nobody die from the flu this year I bet it all from virus
Why r u celebrating?
What’s more grim is the economy: we need a depression to win in November, but instead those racists on Wall Street are just acting like nothing is wrong! All liberals should refuse to work, that way we can bring the economy to its knees and get rid of Trump!
Don’t worry folks it’s just a democratic hoax! We’re Winning!! TrumpIsANationalDisgrace TrumpDeathToll92K TrumpIsMorbidlyObese
Of course not in February it was a hoax🖕🏻
Not minimizing CV and the people lost. But, why have you never done a piece like this at the end of flu season? Pictures of the 50K who died, interviews from loved ones, lists of names, etc. Do they not matter or is it not as dramatic of a story if you die from the flu?
Hmmm, inaction because Trump the wizard thought it would just magically go away, 100,000 Americans dead. Are we great again?
I guess we better start impeachment hearings right away. Right ABC ?
Nothing wrong with wishful thinking
Shame on ABC news!! They predicted 2 million and you lead wit a biased headline like this!!! Journalism?
Trump let’s go golfing
I don't think he really cares. Not just attacking him, there's so many people laughing
Sure. The original total was 2 million!
Could be 200,000 by end of summer, if we act like Florida.
Nancy is the one that said not to worry not Trump
Like his taxes.
How can you downplay death?
He also said it was a Democrats' hoax.
26th Feb, Drumpf said within days infections would be at zero. 27 May, infections at over 1.7 million and deaths over 100,000.
You seem happy about this . Your a sick raging liberal excuse for a company. You need help
. China just killed 100,000 Americans. No shots fired.
I think our media should take a seat because the death are in the nursing home has the Democratic communist media investigated the nursing home deaths in New York
In November 3- 2020 out put out out
Once more these statistics are geared toward the people who live in fear. All of these deaths were not caused by corona but we now blame everything on it. Terrible reporting and fact checking
Ha! Did y'all believe him then?
I'm glad to see that 100000 dead is a victory for you. Everything for liberal hacks on ABC is about Trump, it's sad
I look forward to seeing the mainstream media in the United States tracing the truth of the source and spread of Wuhan pneumonia virus to seek justice for the victims of the world!
There are 15 cases and next week they will go down and miraculously disappear. Right, it has gone DOWN to 1.7 MILLION cases.
bollocks
KarheemH And now he wants to shut down social media because he was fact checked for his lies. I’m sorry but this man is more worried about himself then the American people.
Oh look more fakenews by a bunch of drowning news folks looking for a life preserver. Web ain’t buying it but if treason charges are brought. I hope you hang
Let’s keep blaming it on one person. How fucking stupid can you be? He has to listen to many people including WHO which hasn’t been exactly honest about everything.

Trumps coronavirus performance gets a BOOOOOOOOOOOOO😝
Didn’t he and his team project 200k?
Reading your own article he never promised or guaranteed that number he said hopefully . Your bias is painful to see.
abc = Fake News
Trump has spent months rage tweeting, binge watching Fox and spewing dangerous conspiracies. And the media literally ignores it. JFC you are all complicit.
Trump is a washed-up real estate broker who fell butt-first into a seat he was never qualified or prepared to occupy. He's no dictator or autocrat - he's a man-baby who runs away when called out by the press. He's merely a symptom of a much bigger problem we have here.
And it's only the beginning.
Dems didn’t want to stop China travel in January , trump did
Most in states run by Democrats they ordered sick people to nursing homes to die
The true death toll is about 1/3 of what they say. You have been duped. SHEEP be led to the slaughter
100ThousandDeadAmericans TrumpPandemicFailure
Worst Than Ever Before 🙏🏼
But hey, ABC. Keep mocking Biden for wearing a mask in public. Priorities. 🙄
DavidMuir Thank you for the touching tribute to those we have lost as a result of this pandemic. My heart aches for those we’ve lost and the families left behind. Let us not lose sight of this in all the turmoil surrounding us.
but Im old enough to remember the experts saying USA would have 2 million dead... Now you are trying to say 5% of that number is bad? I think you're trying to trick me... What is gaslighting? Why do some folks no longer believe the media?
He was wrong like everyone else who has tried to predict the course of the virus. He has handled the virus better than Spain , England, Italy and France
At least 1/3 of those were in nursing homes. Proper care was not taken to protect the residents.
Super snap, I liked it.
Yea, because when gunshot deaths, car accident deaths and everything else is counted at Covid-19.
Of course you have to throw the president in there... F.O. 😒
Well, he is an idiot!
And you guys believed? Who's to be blamed?
ByKellyCohen Oh look! Even ABC news has TDS
He is not God! No one is but damnit he kept a good outlook, he tried to not scare the shit out of the country Fauci, Birx, CDC were giving guidelines to inform people to protect themselves Who knew NY, NJ would screw up & nearly every nursing home in US was taking in covid
Once it was here it was here. The real work to curb the virus came from the Governors, medical professionals and the people who altered their lives to stay home, social distance & wear masks. I am appalled that this man tries to take all the credit.
How was the party? smh
Let's bear in mind, thousands had been directed to be labeled covid deaths if they're dying from something else, but still have or show some signs. Then a ton of John Does buried in NY & FL (will they be voting in Nov?) and no telling what's up w/CA alone.
StopIt FakeNews ThatsNotWhatWasActuallySaid GetRealReportesWhoListen
MakeAmericaGrieveAgain
When ignorant stupidity is your approach to e everything you’ll get a 100 thousand deaths. Trump has failed. He has failed the US. The worst performing country in management of the pandemic. Third world countries did better than Trump. No surprise.
100,112 dead Americans
Fraudulent numbers. Birx herself said inflated by at least 25%.
What Great Luck this pandemic was for Liberals. Russia collusion failed, impeachment hearings was a joke and backfired, Biden treats women worse than Trump does.. But the good GLOBAL old pandemic.. They'll (try) and make it all his fault. Good thing most won't fall for it!
100, 112 dead Americans
Are doctors reporting deaths not attributed to Corona Virus to inflate the number of deaths politically to damage the President. Or in the mundane, to have a record for people to claim damages against any lawsuits brought against China for the deaths? realDonaldTrump
Trust science not trump Trump Death Clock ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND Lives Lost 😡 Trumps Transition to Hell
100,000 dead so far and it's still not halfway through the year yet (not including underreported deaths) All thanks to Trump and those followed his incompetence/lies.
So. What’s so joyful about this would you people give real news come onnnn.
43% of covid deaths are nursing home and long term care patients. Perspective Stop the Fear Porn
Scamdemic day 737 😂😂😂
He is too busy with politic. Find others country mistakes
Laugh now. Soon you'll be crying.

Too bad the numbers are not reliable.
In 2016 they said he’ll never be as bad as he seems.
