'It is what it is': Trump dismisses the rising coronavirus death toll in the United States - Business Insider

President Trump dismissed the mounting death toll from COVID-19 in the United States, telling Axios' Jonathan Swan that "it is what it is" in an interview that aired Monday evening on HBO.

Swan challenged Trump's repeated assertions that the COVID-19 pandemic is "under control" and noted that the US is now reporting a seven-day average of over 1,000 new deaths from the virus. "They are dying, that's true. And it is what it is. But that doesn't mean we aren't doing everything we can, it's under control as much as we can control it," Trump said.

, Swan questioned Trump on why he continues to downplay the virus despite the rising toll of deaths and serious outbreaks in many states. As of Tuesday, there are over 4.7 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States and nearly 156,000 deaths. The United States is currently reporting a seven-day average of over 60,000 new cases and 1,069 deaths per day,

'People die, I get praised, where's my praise?'

159,000 dead and Trump is out playing golf. Does anyone doubt for a minute that he is not only clueless...but completely delusional.

great leadership quotes and not taking no responsibility...

Launched in 2007, the site is now the largest business news site on the web. I hope we do move on! This whole discourse has been a nightmare for those of us who rely on hydroxychloroquine daily to manage our debilitating autoimmune diseases. We’ve been dealing with shortages for months: Very reminiscent of the Soviet Union and the Nazi regime. What the powerful want to be true is what’s true. The incredibly expensive drug works. The very cheap one doesn’t. Epstein hung himself. The election was stolen from Hillary. Social distancing saves lives... But will the hydroxychloroqueen move on?
