'You vile monster': Trump slammed for trying to diminish the COVID-19 death toll

January 03, 2021
Tom Boggioni

Donald Trump's accusation that the Centers for Disease Control is inflating the number of Americans who have been infected or died from COVID-19 was hammered on Twitter Sunday morning, as critics reminded him that --whatever the number -- he is responsible for bungling the pandemic response.

According to the president, "The number of cases and deaths of the China Virus is far exaggerated in the United States because of @CDCgov 's ridiculous method of determination compared to other countries, many of whom report, purposely, very inaccurately and low. "When in doubt, call it Covid." Fake News!"

That led one commenter to reply, "The fact is that 350 thousand US-Americans lost their lives. Do you want me to remind you how you downplayed the danger of this virus?"

There was lots more of that as you can see below:

X% of the population died in 2019. Y% died in 2020.

Y is fuckall bigger than X.

the number of deaths attributed to the Corona Virus will almost certainly be determined to be higher than officially reported.
These are real deaths; there's nothing fake about a grave.
It boggles the mind to see so many Americans dismiss this pandemic merely on the word of a deranged man who could care less about what happens in this country as long as he gets what he wants.

Hopefully he will soon get what he deserves.

You mean, like you wanted the CDC to do? Yes, that's exactly what you meant, you fucking IMAX projector. You have to cheat your way through life to keep up with all the people cheating you.

On one hand, U.S. numbers are higher on purpose, other countries' lower, on purpose?

What the hell does that even mean? Keep hoping he'll gag on his own spew.

Maybe we need to quit viewing and talking about his tweeting BS because that's all it is, plain old BS.

When people believed that there actually WAS something like The Art Of The Deal? The more scrutiny he was under, the worse he looked, until he came to resemble a Marvel Universe villain.
