Presidents often meet national trauma with soothing words. As U.S. deaths from COVID-19 near 100,000, President Trump’s message: It could have been worse.

Actual deaths from COVID-19 are almost certainly higher than the numbers show, an undercount to be corrected in time.

The pandemic is playing out in a divided country under a president who thrives on rousing his supporters and getting a rise out of those who don’t like him, whether that means forgoing a mask, playing golf while millions hunker down or thrashing opponents on Twitter. He lowered flags to half staff to recognize those who have died from the virus but had them back up days before the 100,000 marker was reached.

Trump? “I’ve never seen a president with less capacity for empathy,” said Andrew J. Polsky, a political science professor at Hunter College, City University of New York, who has studied such leadership traits for decades. “He doesn’t even try. ... It’s way outside his emotional comfort zone.” “There are moments when — and I think 9/11 was that for President Bush — you realize this is not about politics and this is not about momentary victories and this is not about your own legacy,” he said. “It’s about the burden you’re carrying for the people.”to New York firefighters straining to hear him, bellowed: “I can hear you, the rest of the world hears you, and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.

I know, thank God we have Governors who care about the people who live in their states.

Every other country disagrees with at that sentiment.

And he's right.

People get over it quit looking for people to blame. What needs to be looked at is the number counts on covide are not true counts.

Flattening the curve was about suppressing the severity of the pandemic in America. TwitterFactCheck which has its own agenda and is no longer a news organization.

Yes open the country soon

Wow, 100 Thousand Americans DEAD

We are 30k short on those numbers

As US deaths near 100,000, AP and other MSM outlets continue to stoke fear and try their best to hurt the economy, hurting every American. Their continued misinformation and propaganda couldn’t be worse.

I thought AP was supposed to be unbiased? Disappointing

Those are really soothing words. Much more soothing than you, Democrats, and the rest of the FakeNewsMedia, v hoping for more deaths

No , he isn’t psychologically capable of that .

Oh please. Get a grip. We need strong leadership not soothing words. That’s what mothers are for.

FrecklesXX20 American carnage.

Whoever gave the story to news should be shot as a traitor .of course potus is upset he’s given with no thanks just treason and traitors outside very close circle

Luckily not everyone listened to Me.

On average, 100k people die every 13 days in the US. Putting things in perspective, instead of fear mongering or brain dead virtue signaling, is actually the adult way to deal with it. That’s not even taking into account many are people who died with Covid, not because of it.

He is not wrong.

Some leaders push on through. Others lament.

It could have been...why is that news? In 2009, the predictions were that 1/3 of the planet was going to get Swine Flu, which killed 11-12% of everyone who was hospitalized (of all ages)...we got lucky (which is usually what happens). It could always be worse.

lol u guys crack me up

Governor Cuomo said people are going to die, he should know he killed them

People die every day!! 7700 a day on average!! Do the math!!

Just honest news I see. Where do the states and China play into this? FakeNewsMedia

(2) Lots of politicians know how to talk. Words matter, actions (policies) matter more.

Hardly indeed

(1) The report is basically based on 3 people’s views/ analysis/opinions: Andrew J. Polsky, Henry Cisneros (Bill Clinton’s housing secretary), and the reporter. I would rather not see this piece from AP. It can be well interpreted as media bias against Trump.

It could have been better

It could have been raining

It’s not over... the worst is yet to come

The medias words were that millions will die and everyone should stay home until there is a cure. Stop the hypocrisy media

He doesn't feel. Narcissistic sociopathy is a bitch that way.

🤦🏻

May he burn in hell. It's time.

I don't need him to 'feel' my pain, I need him to lead. Snowflakes. Go yell at a tree while Poppy Trump and his follower undue another sad attempt to take him down.

Remember back in the days when the wire services only reported news?

Trump has a good leadership style... Unlike dictatorship government of the African leaders...

Trump is a failure in every way. Criminal negligence on full display.

Mr. Morbid Lee Obese has no empathy.

Trashy trump.

Trump’s words are both true and comforting. Your narrative is wrong.

Is a/p disappointed that it was'nt ?!

How about one more NamasteTrump ? That may kill CoronaVirus! If not, then ChinaVirus smokescreen is always there!

often attempts to hide its narrative-telling ways. Their message:

Yes, he does. Do you care that women, children are being abused because of the stress of being without a job and stuck at home? Is that okay with you? Japan and Sweden didn't shutdown and they have low death rates.

He tried soothing words but was vilified by the left & MSM.

You have to have a heart to care. He has shown so many times (I've lost count) that it is all about him looking good. Its all about staying in office. He caused a division in this country like never seen before. The man is ice.

They predicted 2 Million.

Check the worldometer deaths are now over 100,000.

Have those numbers been verified for accuracy?

And?

Truth

Vote Biden 2020 Because America needs leadership not a twitter troll 100kDead depression unemployment foodshortages nationaldebt tariffs bankruptcy fear We've had enough of Trump

But its true, it could been worse, Trump save USA with freedom and free market

And Coumo?

So we’ve reached the low end of what they predicted, got it.

He is correct. Original estimates by Drs Fauci and Birx were 1-2 million. Pres DT has also said many times 1 death is too many.

Blue State governors own this.
