Dr. Deborah Birx, the coordinator of the White House task force on the coronavirus, said the United States was starting to flatten the curve the way Italy did, with a lot of the success coming in New York City.

He thinks he's playing with toy soldiers on a gameboard, it's all just stats not lives, way outa his depth...floundering and too self obsessed to make a quantum leap...plus his being dumb as fuck don't help neither.

And he is proud of that!!!

1.7 million people globally infected by the pandemic | more than 100,000 deaths Latest updates | cases per million population 👇 Corona COVID2019

Just why does he consistently repeat himself?

Thank goodness, the words of a certified plum duff will put everyones mind at ease. pitchblacksteed

This is so stupid. The President and Vice President should never be in the same room at the same time. That kind of defeat the purpose of having a Vice President.

Projected 100,000 lives? Why not zero? What's on his mind?

Look at Dem haters pop their veins from anger. Now they only clueless, sleepy Joe as the savior of Dem party

Mother forker, Everytime you've said a number, and a corresponding intuition, you have been wrong in a staggering way. Get out there and predict millions dead, for the sake of the country.

Because we’re all staying away from each other

Pat on the back then? I don’t think so, never!

I hope he’s right, but I hate what I see now in Wayne County Michigan. A lot of people in Detroit are not following the Governors stay at home order.

Great and my ratings are up!

' Trump said that he thinks ' ? ? Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw !

so MAGA with 99999 death toll

So no problem 100,000 lives, right?

For him, the life of individual people is the same as potatoes. He likes numbers, but he can't count at all.

The question is how many more marbles will Trump lose?

He is just trying to make himself look good, if anyone thinks otherwise, god help them

One is too many

The people behind him are asking which of us will pull the trigger.

Let's count every body correctly and talk again.

Why are all of our top leaders so blasted OLD! Trump 73, Joe 77, Nancy 80 & Mitch 78! These guys all need to retire, some of them over 10 years ago. Remember when our leaders were in their 40's to 60's? & they could remember carry on intelligent conversations? ToOldToLead

Is he one of them!

But that's 60,000 more than the 'zero' cases Trump said we'd have.

Something really really good is going to happen Donald Trump you’re fired.

👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 realDonaldTrump

'projected lives'. Trump is an asshole, when he says it that way. A Life is not money.

ترامپ نابکار

I watched the clip but it appears to be about how well the stock market is doing not about the headline 🧐

'The world leaders are very casually counting the number of people who died or expecting to be'..its look like very easy for them..but we have to realize,the numbers are not just numbers they're real humans.. it can be you and me or our family..

It's really a matter of choice for countries to do or not to do anything about the pandemic. They have to be prepared for the consequences of both - taking action or not taking action. Unfortunate for the world that we are still merely human beings with limitations. 0 Animals

A big thank you to all the Frontline workers making this pandemic easier on Americans Big thank you also to the POTUS and the covid response team except Dr Fauci 😂 Clearing off credit card debt of Americans Follow and send a DM if interested Shane Saxen powerball winner

Especially if you withhold testing

The ‘idiot President’.

He should stfu. He is the one who states 100,000 people were gonna die

It's like he has no idea these numbers represent actual people, or he simple doesn't care. Oh, wait...

This is a shameful statement to come from a U.S president.

100,000 dead is the gold medal. That's a helluva car salesman you have there being called president.

Any Amount I'd Too Much.

Lol trump talking about numbers are low compared to what expert expected then camera focused to Dr.Fauci and Dr.Birx with no expression.

Now everyone knows that it will probably be more.

We hope so! 🙏

How can ?! Howdy Modi's Money 💰 where ?!?

He said covid was fake news and as fake as fake can get. 60,000 fake deaths later he is telling it is not going to be anywhere near fake two~three million, yeah I believe him! Did I tell you about my brand new bridge that I’ve bought?

no one trusts realDonaldTrump after his many lies.

He messed up and now he feels like he’s to accept that he’ll never be able to take the mask off of a failed presidency

Mass graves in New York. Mass Graves In New York In 2020 Wow.

And of course he’s an expert epidemiological prognosticator too! If deaths, god forbid, reach Fauci predictions he’ll double back on this too! COVIDIOT COVIDー19 NostaDumbass (shout you to lauferlaw for THAT HT:)

Not original estimate! Fauci stated the 'original' estimate of 100k to 200k on Mar 29th - CNN's State of the Union. This estimate was AFTER months of Trump's incompetence. With a timely response the death toll would be a fraction of that. Don't Let Trump re-write history.

I thought it was going to be just 15 cases and then disappear. Did he even mention deaths then?

The projected number on the model changes as we take measures to limit the outbreak (Social distancing) or not . If we open up like he wants without having it under control or adequate testing, the model will have to adjusted and it will go up.

He provided a “model” with extreme numbers so he could claim any number lower as a personal victory.

No shit! Especially if they do a real count of Coronavirus deaths. Right now the data can not be trusted. Not certified. Libtards worry about medicine going through a rigorous study but they make up numbers and toss them around like it doesn’t matter.

He hasn't told the truth about anything in 3 years. Why should I start believing him and anybody from his administration now?

Oh yeah? Please tell me more!

He wants accolades for killing less than 100,000 AMERICANS 😠 REPEAT He wants accolades for killing less than 100,000 AMERICANS 😠

Year 2020, extremely unpredictable.

Lol It makes wayyyyy more sense if this is some fucked up Truman Show. WHERE ARE THE CAMERAS?....Who's in on this? HAHAH so funny! Ok now make it stop. Make. It. Stop.

Thinking

What a nonsense headline The “initially projected” fatalities were for 2Million plus for the US.

Projected* number of actual deaths during week ending April 18 (Saturday): 38,627 Projected* number of actual deaths during week ending April 25 (Saturday): 109,697 Projected* number of actual deaths during week ending May 2 (Saturday): 295,998 new deaths on May 1 alone: 60,549

PrayForTheWorld 🙏

Ha talking about money

Suspect it depends on how you count. And we don’t seem to be. Counting everyone who died.

99999

He says a lot of things that are outright lies. Why are you advancing his propaganda instead of exposing how his policies are leading to more people dying?

HIDROXICLORIQUINA test.

Next time, he shouldn't cast assumptions on risks that are highly inimical

A very smart genius he is.

Pffffffft. What the eff does he know about anything? NOTHING. That’s what. N O T H I N G. He just talks and guesses and assumes and makes s**t up. Even if he’s wrong he tries to make it sound like he’s right. 🙄

How about you report the facts instead of your paid opinion. Were you going to tell the people sep 19th 2019 that trump also updated the influenza FEDERAL law per EO too? Or just keep hiding this information praying people cant research

Ok 99,999 but who's counting. The culling of human lives to save capitalism.

It was not projected 'initially'. It was projected at the point when the virus was spreading, some states were licking down, other were stalling.

Not including non-hospital deaths, right? Corona

100,000 was NOT initial projection. It was actually much higher.

the media initially predicted 2 to 3 million lives lost in the US. that may have been what prompted him to shutdown the economy. we should be talking about that. resist the trump shutdown!

He said like just number.. no emotion in it.. that is your countrymen.. donald should stay and Disney and just play with Mickey..

President Trump: 0-60,000 in 18 days

Huuuge achievement!The greatest

Lunatic!

98.745

Please resign, you dope.

He doesn't know. throwingspaghetti

I thought he liked big numbers.

Didn't you project 250K?

but, what about his ratings (eyes rolling)? TrumpPressConf

Trump is using these pressers as a substitute for his rallies. He doesnt understand that people tune in to hear the experts becase they are concerned for their LIVES and not tuning in becase they want to hear his BS. The narcissist thinks its all about him and ratings

Well, Trump is getting his Easter wish. He has convinced Texas governor to reopen Texas. He wants to test the limits with the Oil and Gas capital of US.

He better hope so or he shouldn’t even run for office.

Initially it was projected to be zero.

Actually zero was his initially projection

probably because of the social distancing, quarantines, people staying at home, and health care workers making do with less
