Donald Trump kicked off his Sunday morning by launching a full scale attack on the Centers for Disease Control, calling their reporting on COVID-19 infections and deaths "Fake News!."

As the coronavirus death toll climbs and most states are seeing surges in infections, the outgoing president lashed out at CDC officials for reporting on the numbers to the public.

"The number of cases and deaths of the China Virus is far exaggerated in the United States because of @CDCgov 's ridiculous method of determination compared to other countries, many of whom report, purposely, very inaccurately and low. "When in doubt, call it Covid." Fake News!" he tweeted.

[raccoon]

[dweller]

3. But the numbers

Of the cases and deaths from the TRUMP virus are very real

✌🏻

[Ferrets are Cool]

4. The Idiot in Chief contradicts himself in his own tweet.

The only people more stupid than he is are the ones who put him in office.

[Botany]

5. When in doubt, call it Covid. Fake News! @ noon it will be 16 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds

12. Those photos are chilling

And so many people are oblivious to what is really happening.

[Botany]

14. Those are from Brooklyn early last spring .... and now it is happening like that nationwide

"And so many people are oblivious to what is really happening." To me they are not oblivious
but in a Fox News fed deep denial of reality. In OH something like 60% of the nursing home
workers are now saying they will not take the C-19 vaccine. My attitude is fine don't take the
shot and don't come to work anymore either.

[PatSeg]

20. 60%?

The insanity of the times we're living in is incomprehensible at times.

[Botany]

26. We are living in insane times

And it no small part it is from Ronald Reagan's getting rid of the "fairness doctrine."

[PatSeg]

27. So much that plagues us today

seems to go back to Reagan. He was a major turning point. I can recall taking competent government for granted. Democracy is really hard.

[JohnnyRingo]

6. I can hear the masks hitting the garbage can

I fully expect to see the difference this reckless tweet caused by midweek.

[LymphocyteLover]

7. this outrages me beyond belief as the pandemic is raging at peak level

that Republicans are fighting with everything to keep this monster in power makes me absolutely furious. These evil pieces of shit-- all of them!!!

[Snarkoleptic]

8. As always, everythigng tRump says is about aggrandizing tRump.

To admit his failure would be worse than death, to this malignant narcissist.

[ancianita]

9. I'd sure love Twitter to wipe all potus accounts before Jan 6, but I guess they won't 'til the 20th.

It's not like there's a need for more evidence of his inciting threat against the election process.

[PatSeg]

10. Oh my god, what a freak!

As each day passes, he will get increasingly bizarre, knowing his time is almost up.

[oldsoftie]

13. I guess the extra total deaths this year over the average is "fake" too.

[Bengus81]

15. So I guess Larry King just has a mild cold Trump?

Given his age and health Larry could be dead next week.

[TrogL]

16. OK so does this mean my friend Wayne didn't die?

Somebody needs to tell his wife and call off the Zoom memorial service.

[Bayard]

17. Because the CDC has so many reasons to lie to us....

[TomCADem]

18. Thanks to Trump, Republicans Will Disregard or Challenge Efforts...

...to fight COVID. Even in CA, if you have only about 40 percent Republican, that is millions and millions of people going out, refusing to wear masks or socially distance. We still see people insisting on going to eat onsite at restaurants and you have judges relying on the Supreme Court case to keep places like strip clubs open.

[Initech]

19. Shut the fuck up Donny!!! Let the adults do their jobs!

When we need the opinion of a screaming toddler, we'll call you, OK?

[LovingA2andMI]

21. So now....The Deaths are Fake....

Are the Hospitalizations prior too the deaths real in this cult leader mind?

[MineralMan]

22. Just STFU, Drumpf!

Jebus!

[dalton99a]

23. So many fake dead bodies

[Ziggysmom]

24. He's making Loeffler & Perdue money from their body bag investments

[C Moon]

25. Remember early on, when Putin told Trump he was proud of his use of "Fake News."

I guess Putin is telling him to amp up the Fake News bit again.

[BlueWavePsych]

28. Soon ... he can rage all he wants from Riker's Island

[MustLoveBeagles]

29. I can't wait till he's gone

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

30. And Dumbass can't figure out whya he lost.

The pandemic was his biggest fuck up.
