A more relevant way to consider it is that it is the 4th biggest single cause of US deaths in history behind the Civil War, the 1918 Pandemic and WWII.

Nearly half a million Americans die from smoking every year. Oh and by the way my uncle Google said that 200000 is 0.060606060606061% of 330000000.

You can hide behind semantics all you want, Americans will not be worried about Covid when it comes to polling. They will be worried about their pockets. They trust President Trump with the economy. The democrats have once again, focused on the wrong issue.

a lot worse than many other countries, particularly when put against the POTUS promising that everything was under control and that it would be gone as soon as the weather heated up!

The economy? What is the unemployment numbers? What about the national debt? GDP growth? Where are they now?

Oh, of course everything is supposed to just pause from January when Trump completely failed to deal with the situation he faced.

You see, opinion polls show voters at 50% #IMPOTUSon the economy, 43% Biden (recent Forbes summary.) So, when the polls favor the #IMPOTUS, they're absolutely spot on. But when they favor Biden, in some cases by large margins, oh no those don't matter nope no way no how.

You have to speak tGOP to understand the #IMPOTUS's handling of the economy being the winning issue for him. It's all in the polls...

Is this it now? It’s only 200,000 people! This is an unexpected spin I have to say.

They're in for a rude awakening when they hear how the economy is doing.

It's because Biden is that bad, Trump should be dead and buried according to many people but they were probably the same people that were laughing when they were asked if he win would in 2016.

I would say it more shows that a portion of the US audience have a taste for dramatic showmanship and even though many are potentially aware that Trump is lying, they simply don't care. That says a lot about certain parts of US society and none of it is positive.

Trump himself set the precedent

It was for 3,000 or so people. That's 0.001% of the population in case you were wondering.

Bizzarre how they make a big song and dance about it every year when the anniversary rolls around

That is part of the problem though the ridiculing that some Trump supporters get does not help in trying to convince them why they should vote for Biden over Trump. It's basically fvck you if you're voting for Trump and you're human garbage.

Wouldn't exactly say you're being respectful of the dead by attempting to spin covid as a success for Trump..

It's not going to stop at 200k. Their current trajectory is about 30k deaths per month in a fairly straight line. Outside of dysfunctional, poor countries, nobody's doing that badly.

Kidchameleon · 22-09-2020 9:24pm

I see Mitt Romney is going to be backing Trump's supreme court nominee. Does this mean Barrett is all but guaranteed the job? I'm assuming she's going to be his pick but the official announcement will be on Saturday, cant wait!

2 people died of Ebola in the the US and Trump called for Obama to resign.

4 people died in Benghazi and the Republicans conducted 6 investigations and found nothing.

But I guess 200,000 dead is just one of those things.

I guess that makes The Donald a feminist also. Who'd have thunk it.

I don't want to get into a Covid debate here because we probably will not agree no matter what but what I will say is this: take a look at some of the countries with higher deaths per 1m population to the USA, hardly poor or dysfunctional are they? I genuinely think Covid is not as big an election issue as people here are making it out to be.

That's not to say that it is not a serious problem, it is and I believe every death is a tragedy.

Context dude.

Is he responding to a question or is he at a party with known neo-nazis?

Sort of like hailing a cab on the street versus hailing a cab at a nuremburg rally.

Right now per capita the US is 10th worst in the world but given how badly they are doing vis a v the countries worse then them right now they will likely shoot up to about 5th worst within the next month.

Only San Marino, followed by Peru Belgium and Brazil are likely to be worse off in terms of deaths per capita by the end of October.
