Trump says US coronavirus deaths total 'lower than the world'

Donald Trump has maintained that the US is beating the rest of the world on the coronavirus death rate, even as thousands of Americans are still dying every week.

Mr Trump’s analysis, which he advanced during a discussion with Axios interviewer Jonathan Swan, is based on deaths as a proportion of cases but ignores deaths per capita — a measure that puts the US among the worst countries in the world.

The best comedy writer couldn’t make it up.

Look how Trump is sitting. He's like a toddler in class showing his drawings.

‘You can’t do that!’ He sounds like he’s on a schoolyard complaining about the rules to some made-up game at which he’s losing badly because no one likes him.

At least he has part of it right.

[jacquelinefaye]

That made me cringe so badly, I don’t think my arse will ever recover.

[hueybenning]

Well, technically he isn’t wrong.
There’s around 700, 000 deaths worldwide, and 160, 000 in the US

Any good accountant can distort the figures. The fact is people are dieing, that needs to stop. Its up to each and every person no matter where you live, to isolate as much as possible.

[aaura]

Saturday Night Live is going to have a blast with this interview!!!

[gm_construct]

This would be hilarious if this guy wasn't the president of one of the most powerful countries. Now it's hysterical.

I’m amazed Bill Stupidian still allows Trump to do anymore interviews! They always end in disaster! SMH
