Trumpsters Gleefully Twisted COVID Data To Depress Casualties

On Monday, from behind the lectern in the White House briefing room, Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany doubled down on a weekend retweet from President Donald Trump on CDC COVID-19 data that was so dangerously misleading that Twitter has removed it from the platform.

Glad you showed the tweet from @therealDonaldTrump Kate, because someone tried to use this in an argument yesterday on Facebook that COVID deaths have been way over reported. The person who posted the screen grab didn’t say where it came from.

SOP Trumpian bottomless dishonesty…no surprise there, expect it with all Trumpian stats!

What is egregious and unconscionable is that, this disrespects the people who died from Covid and is diminishing the hurt and pain of the surviving families!

Damn you Trump, why can’t you just let people who died of Covid Rest In Peace!

What really stinks is that as a result of this insanity they are placing not just themselves at risk, but also the rest of us who are trapped at home because we believe in science and in acting for the good of the community.

HIV doesn’t kill you. Numerous burn victims die from infections. Complications from the flu kill many. What’s next? It wasn’t the gun, it was the bullets. It wasn’t the car crash, it was going through the windshield. No one should be shocked by the people, not giving a shit about school shootings, eating this plate of bullshit right up. These are the people that find 180k dead Americans, acceptable.

If I die of rage from their lies about COVID-19, I absolutely want my death counted as being due to the corona virus.

Once again giving credibility to the old wisdom that “Figures don’t lie, but liars figure.” And in the case of Trump and his criminal mob, the LIE is the most important thing.

Great news! Great news!

Diabetes, Cancer, Heart Disease, etc. kill 0 people.

It’s actually the individual’s patients organs choosing to stop working that kills them.

“”…fatalities were not just COVID alone, there was another comorbidity or extenuating matter, so he was just pointing to those numbers…""

Comorbidity or extenuating matter used to be referred to as ‘preexisting condition’. Something Obamacare recognized as a health issue that people needed insurance for. In Trump-world, it is a tool to reduce the roster of those being covered by health insurance.
183,000 dead. It didn’t have to be this way.

So the point is… those 180K deaths don’t matter? Open up bars and lick toilets for Dear Leader?

Serious question. Why is Dump still alive? He’s surely been exposed to covid many times. And he’s extremely unhealthy.

And the number of covid deaths is way, way above 180K, because many pneumonia deaths, heart attacks strokes, were listed as pneumonia, heart attacks and strokes, because the patients weren’t given covid tests. Do they not realize the data tells more than one story?
