'Trump Lied, 200,000 Died' Neon Sign Displayed at White House as U.S. Nears Milestone



https://www.newsweek.com/white-house-trump-lied-covid-200000-1533311
A neon sign was placed in front of the White House with a message blaming President Donald Trump for the coronavirus death rate in the U.S..

The display reading "Trump lied, 200,000 died" was held up by several democrats and paid for by the DNC, WSET reported.

The sign was lit up on Sunday night as the U.S. is on the verge of hitting the 200,000 milestone for COVID-19 deaths.

As of late Monday morning, Johns Hopkins University places the death toll in the U.S. at 199,525—the highest in the world.

Democrats have accused Trump of misleading the public in claiming that the U.S. is starting to control the spread of the virus, when 31 states are reporting an increase in the number of confirmed cases.

Trump has also been widely criticized after he was recorded in March telling journalist Bob Woodward how he "wanted to always play it down" when asked what he knew about the potential dangers of the virus.

That is officially, many officials believe it to be over 250,000 because of the repubs holding back in red states.
