2 Biggest Lies Trump said & Will Say. "It's the Democrates new hoax" & "We did a great job on this"

..He always does a "great job." and will claim that he did to prevent millions of deaths. Some will defend Trump, but it will not pass as truth for seventy percent or more. Trump has already said those 7 words, and he will say them again and again.

numbers. We won't be looking good in comparison to quite a few countries. Trump has to be hoping that won't become any more evident than it is already.

...countries with numbers to which we shouldn't compare.
China, Russia, Iran to start.
Russia is in turmoil and people are openly criticizing Putin's response. He's taken a powder & left regional officials twisting in the wind.
If their numbers were as claimed, he'd be on the bully pulpit talking about how great they did. The opposite happened.
They have a huge problem there.

think. I looked for reliable numbers, but as you and about anyone would say, you shouldn't trust them. But I would expect them to be claiming numbers of testing way above what we would even want, given their population.

That had enforceable quarantining for 5 or 6 weeks. Not a suggestion. A law.
And that was after Wuhan descended into chaos.
Whatever they claim as deaths, I'm guessing multiply by 3 then add a zero.
