It's Been 1 Year Since Trump Boasted 15 COVID-19 Cases Would Soon Be 'Close To Zero'
The U.S. hit a tragic anniversary Friday, exactly 12 months after then-President Donald Trump gloated that the U.S. was doing a “pretty good job” against the spread of COVID-19 and that the 15 cases in the nation would quickly be “down to close to zero.”
He declared the following day that “like a miracle, it will disappear.”
The U.S. death toll now from COVID-19 has surpassed 510,000. Cases of the coronavirus have topped 28 million.

The New York Daily News used Trump’s quote on the front page when the U.S. passed a half million COVID-19 deaths on Monday. “So Far From Zero” the headline said.
