President Donald Trump on Monday snapped at CNN’s Jim Acosta when he reminded the president that the novel coronavirus so far has killed 155,000 Americans.

During a question-and-answer session with reporters, the president boasted that the United States had done an “amazing” job at handling the COVID-19 pandemic, at which point Acosta interrupted him and tried to ask him about the 155,000 people who have died from the disease in just five months.

“The U.S. has so many deaths,” Acosta said.

“Hold it!” Trump replied.

“So many countries around the world…”

6. A good part of the country mourns those deaths.

8. Disaster

I wish 1 reporter would remind him that at the beginning of this pandemic, he was saying that the Obama Administration loss of 12,000 people was a TOTAL DISASTER, and comparing his response to the 158,000 deaths is not an ABSOLUTE DISASTER AND FAILURE
