Donald Trump said he "didn't know people died from the flu" during a visit to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters on Friday.
Friedrich Trump, the president's grandfather, became one of the first people to die during the first wave of the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918 while living in Queens, New York. President Donald Trump made the claim when speaking about the flu that he had no clue people could die from the virus — despite it taking the life of his grandfather.
Mr Trump continued: "I never heard those numbers. I would've been shocked. I would've said, 'Does anybody die from the flu? I didn't know people died from the flu.' ... And again, you had a couple of years where it was over a 100,000 people died from the flu."
Ya that’s our “Smarter than the Experts” fakepotus Don’t know much do he🤣🤣🤣 Doesn’t know how to pull a profit from a casino either, even with his mob connections🤣🤣🤣 Only “businessman in history that lost a BILLION dollars on a casino and then got the taxpayers to pay it!
GO DONALD!!!!
I think if someone who died a quarter century before you were born died of the flu, that doesn't count as 'people you know' dying of the flu. BI is being disingenuous.
What the difference between a psychopath and a sociopath again?
Ohhhh yeah! This is not a cheap shot! 😒 Get your language right! And your stupid thinking!
Yawn
TrumpIsAnIdiot
It's not unexpected
Listen BETTER! He said he didn't know SO MANY DIED FROM THE FLU. (5,000-60,000 per year!). U liberals manipulate everything-stop taking Words & sentences out of context 2make news. NOT! Y'all r getting like CNN & MSNBC!
Blessed to be watched for from well above my sympathy President Trump
That's because someone with HIV got the flu, there was just the right amount of radiation around and the HIV virus fused with the flu virus so now it's worse btw realDonaldTrump. I dont know for sure but with the rumors and probably what REALLY happen, that.
realDonaldTrump he's a moron how long is going to take people to realize this man has the intelligence level of a 5 y/o. Also he is a habitual liar. I dont think he can tell the truth honestly. StupidThingsTrumpHasDone
