"We're doing very well in terms of mortality..."

[mobeau69]

He certainly has a way with words.

1. Well, we account for more than 25% of the world's deaths, so you gotta give him credit for that. n/t

[ProfessorGAC]

5. Sort Of

The denominator is much bigger. How much we won't know until Russia, China, Brazil, & Iran stop lying about how bad things are/were.
Russia's so bad, Putin took a powder & left others hanging to answer the questions.

[blitzen]

6. True, but our undercount is very large as well. At-home deaths not counted, etc...

[ProfessorGAC]

9. No Argument From Me

Some cities are starting to catch that retroactively, but you're definitely right.
But, the undercounts in those countries are outright lies.

2. Yes, setting new global records, daily . . .

[ProudMNDemocrat]

3. The US has the highest death rate of any other country. ...

Trump speaks in codes, often referencing SIZE with words ending in ....EST, FUL.....superlatives.

[blitzen]

7. We don't have the highest rate per million pop., yet at least...

We rank about 10th but are quickly rising.

4. Ugh, I cannot bear even a couple of minutes of him speaking.

Disjointed, repetitive, almost word salad. You have to guess at what he is trying to communicate. Kind of like those quizzes where the words are all misspelled but you can still read it - "Only 13% of people can read this"

[Thomas Hurt]

8. Sure doesn't matter how many die as long as it is...

reasonably less than the number he pulled from his @$$ a few minutes before the presser.

[abqtommy]

10. Both tRUMP's detractors and his supporters agree that he's doing his best...

Which isn't saying much for most of us.

[maxsolomon]

11. Always upselling.

Pathological.
